Earlier this year at Shot Show Live Free Armory (LFA) introduced the industry to their new handgun, the Aluminum Match-grade Pistol better known as the AMP. The new handgun is a mixture of a Glock Gen 3 and SIG P320. The new AMP runs Glock Gen 3 internals with an aluminum frame and a serialized fire control group, like SIG’s popular P320 platform.
The new AMP slide and framed are CNC machined from two sold blocks of aluminum. The new handgun from LFA features 1911 grip angle, extended beavertail, double undercut trigger guard, ambidextrous thumb shelves, optics ready, and removable grip panels.
Below, is the product description from Live Free Armory on their new AMP.
The AMP is the perfect blend of precision and feel of a traditional steel pistol without compromising the reliability and comfort of a modern polymer handgun. This Aluminum Match-Grade Pistol was designed by a team of engineers, competitive shooters, and law enforcement with the purpose of developing the ultimate mission ready pistol that they would depend their own life on. The Fire Control Unit is precision CNC machined out of heat-treated 17-4 Stainless Steel. This design allows for the rails to be machined perfectly flat to each other and held to a .0005 specification to reduce any unnecessary play seen in many traditional firearms. The AMP’s aluminum milled frame reduces flex and recoil while shooting. The skeletonized 1911-angled grip frame allows for custom and aftermarket grip panels to modify for an intuitive and reliable grip. The frame features an extended beavertail that allows the pistol to sit lower and more comfortably in the shooter’s hand for better recoil control and improved accuracy. The trigger, barrel, slide, sights, and most internals are Glock® compatible. The AMP slide is machined with stepped quad windows and deeper serrations on the slide to enhance grip, reduce weight, and improve cycling speed. The slide comes standard with an RMR optic cut to directly mount a sight without cumbersome plates or adapters. The match-grade nitrided fluted barrel is honed, burnished to an 8-micron finish, and rifle cut for unparalleled accuracy. Whether it be giving you the next competitive edge on the field or the security you need for home defense. The AMP (Aluminum Match-Grade Pistol) is ready for any mission.
Comes with Live Free Armory’s Lifetime Warranty!
The AMP is currently available on their website and authorized retailers. Live Free Armory’s new AMP retails for $699 MSRP.
