Double Barrel 1911???

[NateTheShake]

It's always good to start one's morning off with a laugh. What a ridiculous piece of garbage. With some duct tape I could make a double anything with double barrels, double triggers, and double magazines.

JMB didn't just roll, he's spinning like a top on meth.


I see this 'thing' in the same light as putting your dick in a toaster, yeah - you can do it, but for the love of god, why would you??

Is that "voice of experience" talking???

Remind anyone of this?

The twin stang.

If one is great, than two must be twice as awesomer, right????

Then I'd need two toasters.

It will be in some movie very soon.

 

[Numidian]

Meh, I think its pretty cool. If I had the disposable income, I'd buy one

 

[smokey]

I mean it's kinda neat but how the F do you field strip it? lol...

As a gunsmith I can appreciate how much time it must have taken to put that all together. Completely impractical, but definitely impressive in terms of execution.

I wonder what the groups look like.

I share your view. It seems like something crazy that highlights someone's skill set somewhere. The welds are clean, the finish is clean, somehow they got two 1911's to go through both of their magazines without a failure at the same time . Sometimes ya just got to use your skills to do something off the wall and challenge yourself. While it's practicality is lacking, the skill going in to the gun is impressive. The execution of the 3822 was certainly better than the 1740...

 

[smokey]

If nothing else, it highlights the availability of left handed 1911's now...

I'm strangely intrigued by this abomination....

I can't wait to see the magpul video on this one. Costa says, "Ok now bring both guns up into your workspace. Ok as you can see you have experienced a stove pipe on the left side and a double feed on the right. Now the immediate action drill for this is to lay down your weapon and surrender immediately. Because your S.O.L. Buddy."

Lou - I'd know absolutely nothing about that move, aside from the thought that it probably wouldn't go very well. Although the mental image is rather comical, and slightly disturbing too if I'm honest.



It's a novel thought, and as much as it offends my sensibilities, it does look interesting and finished well. But still, even if it was handed to me for free, I'd toss it into a basin of Holy Water first just to watch it burst into flames.

You gotta' point there as it kinda' looks like something, if you want to describe it as such, that was excercised from Linda Blair back in the early seventies.

 

[BradMacc82]

If they'd done that to a Glock or a Beretta, I probably wouldn't be so disgusted and offended by it, but a 1911 - that sir is just wrong.


I wouldn't knock someone for buying one, since it obviously would play a role in living out some thugnificent daydreams, dual wielding double barrel 1911's does sound interesting and even a little bad-ass if I'm honest. Especially during the zombie apocalypse or any other EOTWAWKI scenario.

Outside of that though, I don't see any logical reason to disgrace a perfectly good sidearm in that manner.

I bet it won't take long for this pistol to show up in some bang bang shootum up movie.

Too late.

I thought the maker of the double 1911 got his idea from "The Green Hornet".


Are we sure this isn't a joke? It sounds like it should be a joke...

 

[Semper Noctem]

I just pooped a little.

 

[tech24]

what if you only pull one trigger? Does it fire the one round and eject an unfired cartridge out the other?

Presumably, there is a mechanism that keeps the action locked until the second trigger (whichever one happens to be second) is pulled. That's just a guess, but it doesn't seem that difficult to design and it would make some sence... Otherwise you would always be ejecting loaded rounds if you did not pull both triggers at the exact same time.

Everyone can make fun of me, but I would consider getting one as a collector's item if they were not too expensive... 50+ years from now, I could easily see this gaining value as a historical curiosity... like the Le Faucheux double barrel pin fired revolver.

EDIT - Looking at the write-up and pictures on the Firearms Blog, I now see that the two sides have a unified hammer... so you need to press both triggers to release it.

 

[tech24]

its weird but I'd buy one just to have unless its like 2K or something.

Is this another Sons of Guns thread?
