Hi Dave,  No, not the AutoMag.  But an experimental .44 that took the standard .44 Magnum  rimmed cartridge.  It was developed by a fella named Jon Powers back around 1978 and Pistol-smith J.D. Jones did a write up on it with good grades. It looked sort of like the old Colt Woodsman .22 LR semi-auto.  Another member here on the forum "Jamesfromjersey" sent me a copy of the article.  It was a pretty neat looking handgun that unfortunately never got off the ground.
Thanks Anyway.
Take Care !
Chris
