Really? A double barrel 1911? Really?

[theQman23]

If this little sissy toy came in quad 50 BMG's I'd consider buying one. Until then it's just a novelty

RockFish, that is pretty ridiculous and awesome, the tacticool mug! why, you could mount a spare-beer attachment to one o' them rails, and perhaps a lighter to one of the others!

But the legal definition aside, it is really impossible to fire two shots at the same time; due to the primer speed, powder burn speed, etc., one of those two bullets will always be first. And that brings up questions about internal stresses in the gun plus torque in recoil and other interesting thoughts.

Did you watch the Youtube video in post #17? It seemed to function pretty normally to me.

How long until the villain in a thriller movie is carrying one?

it does look gängstah .. though:

Love the title on that article: "Gunmaker invents chilling double-barrel handgun."
Chilling?? More like laughable. The media makes me smile sometimes.

I would rather have a two shot burst 1911, it would be like a double tap.

You think that it's cool until you see the price tag....

The look on Rib Pincus' face is priceless:

As for that mug: www.battlemug.com

Make sure you have a few spare M4 handles lying around.

I want one in 45 and one in 10MM. The design probably came out in 2011 which is 100 years after the birth of the 1911. How appropriate is it to double the barrel every 100 years?

So in another hundred years we'll have a 4 barrel 1911? Yeesh.

 

[Walkalong]

It is very cool, but not very practical. I bet it would be expensive as well.

I was hoping for an over/under.

Anyone interested in a double barreled 1911?

I haven't made up my mind if I should laugh, cry, or run. But, I don't think it would work for pocket carry.

It would complement .375H&H double-barrel bolt action rifle quite nicely. The added weight makes that rifle very easy to shoot and we all know true gentlemen do not carry their rifles. I like that pistol whole lot.

No. And when I saw the first link to that story last week I was surprised that Will from Sons of Guns wasn't behind it. Looks like the stupid, non-practical stuff he comes up with.

 

[Ranger Roberts]

It's an atrocity! Just another novelty gun. Plus, if both barrels fire at the same time, there would be NFA issues.

 

[leadcounsel]

Big, too bulky and heavy for carry, twice as many moving parts for issues/FTFs/FTEs, etc.

If one magazine fails to feed, of if one extractor FTRs, the weapon stops.

A resounding "No Thanks."

If you want more shots with a 1911, the easy answer is a larger magazine and learning to shoot faster and reload faster. This gun looks like it would take a lot of time to become comfortable with, with the bulk and double triggers.

 

[BMcCoy]

Ranger, I don't think there would be any NFA issues because it has 2 triggers. One pull of each trigger fires one round essentially.

I'd try it, but I wouldn't buy it. If I saw it for rent at a range I'd shoot it.

Just like a single barrel 1911! But I do understand that there's a greater risk of that with two of each.

 

[Nushif]

I am still baffled by how many people are taking this seriously as a defensive or practical gun.
Have you never touched a toy your entire life?

 

[Thorgrim]

I wonder how to remove the barrel bushings.

Ha! That's the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw them rotate the pistol.

Actually it looks like it's being marketed as such. If you look through the pictures with this pistol, you can see holsters and hollow points. Kinda implies that it would used for defensive use.
