Double Barrel M1911 .45ACP Anyone?

Salut,

I am not even convinced 1911 should be made with double pile mags,
so this "thing" ...

What happens when one of the barrels has a misfire , what happens when the firing is out of phase , and starts unlocking as the 2nd barrel fires etc , I donot like it , does nothing for me

I don't see any means to change the barrel regulation. So total pot luck on whether it shoots to point of aim with a given brand of ammo! It also has two triggers so good luck breaking both simultaneously, and good luck doing so without jerking the muzzle all over the place. The 1911 is a heavy gun as it is, this thing must weight around 4 1/2 lbs!

Sure it's a crazy collectors item and toy but they seem to actually market it as practical :G If you want hard hitting and high capacity Glock has had the answer in their catalog since 1991:

Guys,

Let's not get carried away here! These things are the equivalent of 'concept cars' at the Motor Show - built to show off what a manufacturer can do - given a free rein.

Such a pistol would be totally ludicrous but it was a great 'draw' to their stand - and that was the point - as we are all now talking about it!

Before this double 1911 - had you ever heard of Arsenal Firearms?
