Can I ask what you want it for?Kane said:The AMT AutoMag V seems to be one of the most powerful semi-automatic pistols, but it probably costs a leg.
Does the AMT AutoMag V have a high probability not to jam? If so then it meets 3 of all 4 of the criteria.
BTW, is there a semi-automatic handgun as strong as the AMT AutoMag V but with a magazine 10+ (as well as a high probability not to jam)?
JeffJ said:Yeah, but try to buy a .44 AutoMag. I've seen a couple for sale, and wow, talk about salty.

And to answer your question, I don't think there is.
Not to mention the cost of ammo... Unless someone handloads, and has the good hands to manufacture .44 Automag brass from .308 Win cases, the owner is going to have a devil of a time finding ammo.
Back to the original poster's question, the most powerful, conventional, high capacity handgun out there is probably going to be the Glock 20. With the hotter loads, you can get into the lower to middle part of .41 magnum performance, and with a custom made longer barrel, you could probably get even further than that.
This pistol has a 15+1 capacity, and at least 10 mm ammo is reasonably plentiful, although finding full power loads might be difficult, since only the Winchester Silvertip and the loads from Doubletap Ammo are in the original Norma-spec performance territory.
Again, if you can handload your own, you could always form your own 9x25 (aka 9 mm Dillon) brass from 10 mm brass, get a custom barrel made:

Finally, if you're willing for something a bit more... largish..., then you could always go for one of the .223 Remington / 5.56 mm pistols form Bushmaster or Olympic Arms:

30 rounds of 5.56 mm ammo, using standard AR15 / M16 magazines.
Blindside said:The AR pistol is no more "automatic" than any other pistol, and a heck of lot less concealable.
Well said!I think you are putting an overemphasis on power, the ability to put shots on target rapidly and accurately trumps power of the round, at least in my opinion.
