SXS 1911 45 acp?

[Danny Bear Claw]

It's called the AF2011.  It's a double barreled 1911 type auto-pistol in caliber 45 acp.  It's got 2 barrels, side by side, dual magazine wells and with one drop of it's wide hammer it sends two rounds of 45 acp down range at the same time!   
It's made by a company called Arsenal Firearms, (I think it's in Italy), and they have a web site up just for the AF2011 with videos of the gun being shot.  Check it out Pards.  What do you think?

Wierdest thing I've seen since the Chiappa Rhino.

Why?  What purpose does it serve?

Hell, Forty Rod...  I don't know.  I didn't invent the thing.  They say the two rounds will hit within 2 inches of each other at 15 to 25 yards.  Is hitting a man with two 45 caliber slugs at once twice as good as hitting him with one?  Two fully loaded 8 round mags gives you 16 rounds on board.  Two in the chambers and you have 18 on board.  A fully loaded Para P-14 with one up the pipe gives you 15 at the ready.  Personally, I think I'd rather be totin' the Para P-14.     And the SXS 1911 is much fatter and weighs quite bit more than a P-14 too.  I really don't think they're going to sell a whole lot of these things.  I suspect some guys will buy them just for the novelty of it.   

Even fully loaded you're still only gonna fire the thing 9 times before it runs dry.  With the P-14 you'll fire it 15 times before it runs dry.   Don't seem to make much sense, do it?

I want to see how ANYBODY can carry that thing comfortably.....or for more laughs and giggles, CONCEALED!

Personally, I'd rather have a 1911 with a half dozen 8 round mags.

I've heard that there is no such thing as a stupid question, but if this is the answer....?  Well, just sayin'.

The novelty factor is enough for me to want to own one. I have been collecting firearms for over 20 years now, one thing I have learned it there is very little practical factor in my deciding on what I purchase. I own a 8 gauge blunderbuss, it serves very little practical application outside the WOW  factor.
