Arsenal AF2011-A1: Double Barrel 1911

By Richard on March 10, 2012 33 Comments

In the greatest case of “Because we can” manufacturing, Arsenal Firearms introduced the AF2011-A1 pistol.  The AF2011-A1 is a double-barrel 1911 pistol complete with dual triggers and dual magazines.

Giving wide body new meaning, this gun spits two .45 bullets down range with each press of the dual triggers.  Dual ejection ports sling brass in opposite directions.

Major props to Arsenal for developing the gun.  I can’t imagine that working out the physics of this pistol was easy.  I’m certain more than just welding two 1911′s together takes place to make this a viable platform.

Cabot Guns South Paw

By Richard on January 31, 2012 2 Comments

In case you missed it previously, Cabot Guns is building a left-hand oriented 1911 pistol called the South Paw.  The South Paw was introduced at the 2012 SHOT Show.

Cabot claims the South Paw is the only left-handed 1911 pistol on the market, and I believe they are right.  Left-handed firearms are often produced in limited numbers in the rifle community, but are even less common in handguns.  Typically, gun companies will offer ambidextrous or reversible features (safeties, mag releases), but not a straight lefty.

The Charter Arms Southpaw, a left-handed .38 Special revolver, is another example of a left-handed handgun.

According to Cabot Guns, the South Paw is a precision handgun machined to “extreme tolerances.”  The price? $5250.

GSG-9 Pistol

By Richard on January 14, 2012 No Comments

The GSG-9 pistol will be one of the new guns American Tactical Imports (ATI) will have at the 2012 SHOT Show next week.  The GSG-9 is a .22 LR pistol has a zinc alloy frame and is clearly patterned after the 1911.

The barrel length is 3 7/16″ and the gun weighs 31 ounces.  The pistol has an ambidextrous safety, threaded barrel and an accessory rail.  At this time, no MSRP is available.

ATI FX45 Thunderbolt 1911 Pistols

By Richard on January 12, 2012 No Comments

American Tactical Imports (ATI) is introducing a pair of new 1911-style .45 ACP pistols at the 2012 SHOT Show.  The pistols are from the FX Thunderbolt line of handguns sold by ATI.

The two new handguns are the Thunderbolt Enhanced, with a ported barrel, and the Thunderbolt Stainless, which features a bright, stainless steel finish.

Dan Wesson Specialist 1911 Pitsol

By Richard on November 28, 2011 No Comments

Dan Wesson SpecialistThe Dan Wesson Specialist is another addition to the company’s 1911 line of pistols that I expect to be on display at the 2012 SHOT Show.  According to the Dan Wesson company, the Specialist is a full sized, single-action pistol that was designed for police departments and “special units” that carry a 1911-style pistol.

The pistol will be familiar to most any 1911 enthusiast, but it has a number of nice features that should appeal to anyone wanting a full sized handgun for self defense or duty carry.

The Specialist is chambered for the ubiquitous .45 ACP cartridge.  We can argue whether this round or that round is “better,” but no one will say the .45 won’t get the job done.  The magazines will hold eight rounds, and two mags come standard with the gun.

By Richard on November 20, 2011 2 Comments

Dan Wesson Razorback 10mmIt’s back.  For 2012, Dan Wesson is bringing back the Razorback 10mm pistol.

The Dan Wesson Razorback RZ-10 is a 1911-style pistol with a forged stainless steel frame.  The slide and frame are both polished to a “soft” finish on the flat areas, while the rounded areas are sand blasted.

The RZ-10 has a 5″ match grade barrel.  The grips are double-diamond cocobolo.  The magazines take eight of the potent 10mm rounds.
