Another example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should."

I don't know...there might be a good market for them.......   Demand = # of Malls x Avg. # of Security Guards employed

At that point I think I'd rather have something belt fed  ::)

I think it's real but their website, arsenalfireams.com, won't load for me. Another site said it's available in .38 Super or .45 ACP.

P.S. I wonder how the grip cicumference compares to a Desert Eagle.

The Pincus posted a pic of himself holding one on his FB page.

They call it a "double barrel pistol"......... which appears to me that even though it does in fact have two barrels, it is basically two 1911's welded together with some engineering modifications to the left slide, along with some parts extensions.
For practical purposes, I must ask, "Why?"

I my opinion it's a gun looking for a movie roll.

+1


Heck, with what .45 ACP ammo costs, I can't feed the appetite of my "single stack" 1911's.....   ;D

I'd buy one, pass it down to the grand kid, it'll be worth a fortune some day cause it aint gonna be made for long.  No real market for it.  But as a rare collectors piece it will be desirable.

What I don't understand is all the talk about the different options for triggers and sear groups....one or both independent or linked??

I mean if one side fires and the other doesn't, since there is only one slide the unfired round will still be ejected..

Only thing I can think of is it gives you the option of shooting with only a single magazine loaded..

Now, if that isn't a answer looking for a problem, I've never heard one.

If you look it over the engineering is very half assed on it.
I can understand that 2 recoil rods may solve potential problems with managing the slides recoil, but why 2 triggers and a trigger guard that looks to be an inch wide when both barrels fire every time ? 
Building this isn't really anything to be proud of since after they welded 2 1911's together the only thing they actually put any thought into was blending the 2 slides.

Well, if I accept the concept, I can see why two triggers would be necessary to provide ambidextrous shooting....one large trigger surface would not work well for those accustomed to standard trigger sizes.  But why have an option to have them un-ganged?

I guess this is the most likely way to go if your goal is to send two 230gr slugs downrange with a single trigger pull

Interesting that this is the same guy that made a two barreled SIG 210 9mm.  And here he has come up with another advancement before the raves and demand for the SIG version have subsided  ;D ;D

Only one sear,, one trigger just takes up space.
I want to see the lazy minded fool actually DESIGN something.
