Overview

The Wildey Survivor is a large-frame gas-operated semi-automatic pistol designed by Wildey Moore, notable for its ability to handle magnum rifle cartridges including .475 Wildey Magnum and .45 Winchester Magnum through an adjustable gas regulator system. It features a distinctive stainless steel construction, a three-lug rotating bolt, and interchangeable barrels available in lengths from 5 to 15 inches. The Wildey gained cultural recognition after its prominent appearance in the 1985 Charles Bronson film Death Wish 3, where it was described as 'a Wildey.' Its powerful magnum chamberings and robust construction made it one of the most powerful semi-automatic pistols ever commercially produced.
