The AMT Lightning pistol is a semi-automatic pistol chambered for .22 Long Rifle which was manufactured by Arcadia Machine & Tool (AMT) of Covina, California[1] during the 1980s and early 1990s.

The pistol was an unlicensed low-cost clone of the Ruger Mark II pistol and, along with the AMT Lightning 25/22 rifle, prompted a successful trademark infringement lawsuit by Ruger that helped bankrupt the company.
