Live Free Armory 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.

Like in the case of other pistols with non-serialized frames (e.g. SIG P320), the frame of the AMP pistol can be replaced without any paperwork. The fire control unit of the pistol is CNC machined from 17-4 stainless steel. The frame is milled out of aluminum and features a 1911 grip angle, extended beavertail, double undercut trigger guard, ambi thumb shelves, 1913 accessory rail and removable grip panels. The slide has four windows cut on each side of its front portion for weight and cycling time reduction and features a Trijicon RMR footprint red dot sight mount milled directly into it. The 3.9″ barrel is honed and nitrided. The trigger pull weight is 4.5 lbs. The Glock parts that this pistol is compatible with include the magazines, trigger, barrel, slide, sights, and most internals. The pistol is currently available in Graphite Black or Flat Dark Earth Cerakote colors.
