Thought it was appropriate....
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

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.

From Farmer Frank's blog - It has 2 barrels, 2 slides, 2 triggers, 2 magazines, but only 1 SEAR!  One trigger doesn't work.  You select which side you want the sear on and that's the trigger that operates this thing.  The hammers while looking like 2 hammers are actually a single hammer, that operate off the single sear.

In other words for 16 rounds you get 8 shots. Which means you are doubling weight, width, and ammo costs.

From Arsenal Firearms YouTube page  http://www.youtube.com/arsenalfirearms

The AF2011-A1 ("Twenty Eleven" for aficionados) can be ordered either with 2 independent triggers and one sear group (left or right, with user-interchangeability for right or left operations) or with 2 triggers permanently joined and the choice of 1 or 2 sear groups.

It looks like it doesn't matter whether you get 2 sears or one sear or two triggers or one trigger, it all comes out the same ...  everything does go bang with one pull.  Have no idea  why you would want independent sears that were always both actuated ...unless they are trying to build redundancy...

Honestly, no matter how you try to figure out what the goal is, it is still doesn't wash.

The only ting it does do is deliver an automatic double tap every time you pull the trigger.   Might be effective at stopping a bad guy, but can you imagine the smile the prosecutor will have showing the jury those two great big barrels?

I'll stick with a single barrel double-stack. I can put the same number of rounds on twice as many targets with half the recoil.
