A real double stack 1911

[Squib Joe]

What.

[Stradawhovious]

Wow. What a ridiculous pile of ****.

I will take 2.

Wow, when I saw the pictures of that, I thought it was some kind of joke.

As a curiousity, I find it interesting, but it looks way too bulky for serious use.

The design - to me, anyway - doesn't seem to well thought out. Two triggers?

[Erud]

Too bad I won't be around to see the year 2111 - I'd totally be in for a triple-barrelled, triple-triggered 1911....

I can't believe the geniuses at "Red Jacket" didn't think of this game-changer.

I would guess that the two triggers operate together, but enable the gun to be shot left or right handed. Seeing as the slide(s) is/are one piece both chambers would have to fire at the EXACT same time or you have some serious problems. Imagine the second round going off slightly after the first. This would cause the second round to fire while being extracted. Ouch.

Just got this from their site:
"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. The AF2011-A1 is available in mirror finish Deep Blue or with a 3400 Vickers surface hardness White Ash Nitrite coating."

They mention the hammer(s) are joined together so no matter which option you use it will fire both chambers at the same time.

So is that even legal or is considered a "machine gun"?

And then you'll take them down in the basement and bolt them together I bet.

Oh wait, yes, top-to-top. Didn't somebody else make a pistol with two grips pointing away from each other? Then just add the Homeboy sights and you're ready to quad-wield!

Well JB weld......

But yes, that's exactly what would end up happening.

Does anyone care to take a crack at explaining the legality of this? I know volley guns can have multiple barrels fire at the same time from a single trigger press, but since this is a semi-auto it doesn't fall under that exception. If it has both triggers linked together it seems like it would be classified as a machine gun.

ATF sec 5845 definitions:

(b) Machinegun

The term ``machinegun'' means any weapon which shoots, is designed
to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than
one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.

To me, it is a "machine gun".

I've never liked "double stacks" but I still want one!

[rukwikenuf]

wow. imagine the level of FTEs if those two bbls get out of time with eachother. also, i'm kinda surprised that it was functioning properly (albiet for 16 rounds, 8 trigger pulls) with the weak grip the shooter had. and i was expecting him to blow the smoke out of the bbls after dropping the mags (or is it one mag joined at the bottom?)

what a waste of R&D. i hope that whoever designed that gets paid regardless of success (or lack thereof)

[ScatterGun4015]

somebody should do this with the bubba buildoff.

[rukwikenuf]

somebody should do this with the bubba buildoff.

honestly, i was trying to figure a way to do exactly that! however, i've got no momentum for my build. none. who knows if i'll actually have ANYTHING

[Consummate]

Dear god, why?!
