It's just the handgun version of this:

Szecsei & Fuchs Double Barrel Bolt Action Rifles - Revivaler

If you’ve had the experience of having one of nature’s wild things coming at you with intent to do you bodily harm then you have a very real impression in your mind of just how intimidating...

Here is the "why for the bolt action double rifle:

"Back in 1989 Hungarian Joseph Szecsei had the experience of being simultaneously charged by three elephants. He survived the encounter, and decided that a double rifle or a good bolt action were not really enough life insurance when out after the big and the bad. In his thinking he wanted to design a rifle with all the advantages of a double rifle, and of a bolt action with its rapidly accessible magazine. So he invented a bolt action double rifle."

I think it's important to remember shooting is meant to be fun. I remember when I shot a lot of matches I used to scoff at all the goofy stuff out there. I then realized that stuff had a place. I now enjoy building weirdly configured AK47's, even though I rarely even shoot them.

That's probably what I seen in Vegas years ago. Very cool.

Because I want one

Anybody catch that the left barrel on both guns is just slightly faster than the right. Even the the bullet impact on the steel shows it, wonder why he said the trigger operates both hammers.

When the bangers try to roll you and you pull that out it will give them some pause!

Because using one bushing wrench wasn't frustrating enough....

I wonder if you swapped the hammer mainsprings if it would swap? Thats the only thing that would make one faster except firing part mass. Theyre so close it takes the hi speed camera to catch it which is a marvel i think

i was going to say because they couldn't fit three bushings in, the wrench wouldn't let 'em.

Does some smoke leave the barrel before the bullet because it's a semi auto?

Martin Hagn showed me his falling block double (a 7x57) rifle. Unlike this pistol, it was slim,well balanced, very attractive and it shot quite well. Of course, it didn't fire both barrels simultaneously. This pistol is fascinating in the same way a racing lawnmower is. I can appreciate the effort but can't feel the attraction. WH

I remember when these came out. Other than you automatically do a double tap but who is going to carry it.

I was thinking of the racing bar stools with engines. but the same concept.

I think we should celebrate that we live in a country where someone could design, build, sell, and shoot a firearm like that. That stands for any firearm.

 

[Lesloan]

Had a guy show up at our place to discuss a construction project in a nearby field. Along the way, he described the ranches where he goes to hunt and shoot. I told him I too was a 'gun' guy, and he said "Okay, remind me to show you my '90' when we get back to your house." A while later, we rolled up to the house, he went over to his truck, and then produced this: Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1

I guess I am not as much of a gun guy as I thought, because I'd never heard of it before, much less seen one. On the other hand, here's a review that might explain why: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/gun-review-arsenal-af2011-a1-double-barrel-45acp/

Now I cannot help but wonder if we should get at least one more quote for our project. If he bought and carries this around... Hmmm.

That is absolutely the best, hands down no holds barred, the t-total best damn gun review I've ever seen! I woulda liked to see an accuracy report with the gun(s?) held sideways, gangsta style, though. And it left one question open--is it available with one barrel in .45ACP and the other in .38 Super? Anybody offer an ankle holster for it?

 

[NateHaler]

So I'm not the only one thinking these slightly bigger handguns (like the revolver thread I chimed in on a few days ago) are fine for ankle carry, if you can just get a holster.

And, most importantly, pants like this: https://images.app.goo.gl/J5hdYZK7ie6iDzug9

Just need to chamber it for 10mm, would be a handful to hang on to and put a serious hurt on someone.
