Arsenal Firearms AF2011 Double Barrel 1911

Sooner or later somebody is going to ask for a holster for one.
Guess I'll be duct-taping 2 1911 mold guns together!

What the hell is the point of that?

to commemorate??? How about bastardize? I guess if one of the smith's here built one...

Ah hell, that'll disappear under a coat

It looks fake to me.

Nedly....methinks that you are just jealous that you didn't think of it FIRST! Perhaps this could be "outdone" by a "Dual Howdah" pistol by you?

My first reaction was "That HAS to be Photoshopped!"

I guess if it jams, you can just throw at a potential assailant!

No jealously JR, as I have done this very thing, although mine had one barrel pointing forward and one backward. Actually, it's up for sale, only fired once..... I mean, twice....

My thoughts as well.

Still not sure if it's real, but a little more than just Photoshopped if it's not.
Here's a link to their YouTube video. Apparently made in Italy?

Ned, NED!!!!! I've gotta have it. How's a trade for a Hi-point and my collection of the Bee Gee's on 8 track sound?

Just watched the YouTube and now I believe it's real. Hmmm. If it really is or goes into production I don't know how many they'll sell, but technically it's interesting and quite an accomplishment.

Jeff, I'll consider your offer.....

Hey Ned... is there room on top of the slide for an antenna for contacting the "mother ship?"

Certainly room enough for a DirecTV dish, for cable/internet and video downloads.

Exactly! You don't have to worry about concealing this bad boy... You can conceal stuff on it!

The brass kicking out both sides is pretty cool.

I would get one, but hell can't find a holster

This is going to end up in a movie at sometime, Stallone or Arnold packing one!!

It looks like it has 2 triggers so is that how they get around more than 1 round per pull of the trigger ? How much does it weigh ? I guess it's for the guy who already has everything

The two-shots-per-pull issue, maybe it's papered as a Class III item. In which case the obvious next thing to try is.....?

It may have looked good on paper

Barrels pointing fore and aft? Feeling a bit paranoid Ned?

As for the "monstrosity", I look at it like I look at custom rods. I appreciate the engineering and the craftsmanship, but they're just not for me.

It looks like it has two triggers, so isn't it just one pull per trigger?

I saw it at SHOT a few years ago but really got to take a look at it at the NRA Show in Indy. Whatever one thinks of it, it is extremely well executed:

Here's the awful part of having seen it-- AAaargh! I don't remember if it had a single, common trigger! And my pics don't show it. It kinda doesn't look like it, but it must-- otherwise firing only one side would, if it cycled fully, eject a live round from the other side.

From photo #1, it clearly has a trigger in-line with the magazine well of the left-side barrel/magazine set.

So that would indicate two triggers.

I also saw/handled it at SHOT when it appeared, and only have vague recollections of it, but for a different reason.

They only had one working model in the country at that time, no idea when they would have more, and no idea when I could get one to write up.

No point in pitching it to my Editors, then.

Re-watching the vid and re-reading the specs just now, the triggers are connected. Cool how the vid shows two bullets exiting within an inch of each other, same as they go through target backer-- on one another's tail and closely regulated (at whatever that distance was).

As an exercise in what can be done and for novelty value, I hereby petition you to do an article on it!

Love to, if and when they ever get a sample in-country that they can lend me.

(No way am I buying one, just to write it up.)

Was I subliminally influenced by revisiting this yesterday, when I got out the 1st Model Dragoon and decided to double-ball load it....? 28 grains of black powder, then a .442 ball, topped by a .457 ball and some Crisco. They impacted about 2" apart at 30'.
