$19k Double Barrel Pistol Set

Arsenal af2011 kit

If you are looking for the quickest way to burn money in today’s handgun market, you may want to take a look at the special Arsenal Firearms AF-2011 kit being offered by the International Firearms Corporation.

The base AF-2011 pistol is a double barrel 1911-style pistol chambered in either .45 ACP or .38 Super. These oversized pistols appear to be two of John Browning’s pistols that melted into a single, oversized block.

Possibly the best feature about the original 1911 pistol is the way it fits the hand. Forget about that same feel in the AF-2011. These pistols are 1.97″ thick, making them unwieldy for all but the largest of hands. They are not lightweight either. Unloaded, this gun weighs more than four pounds. For about the same weight you could have three Glock 19 pistols.

On display at the recent special forces competition in Russia was the Strike One pistols from Arsenal Firearms.  The Strike One is a polymer framed handgun from the same company that introduced the double barrel 1911 pistol last year.

Arsenal Firearms claims the Strike one is “…the fastest, most controllable, most accurate and hard hitting service pistol available today on the world market.”  Those are some pretty big claims considering the excellent alternatives from Glock, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory and others.

Arsenal AF2011-A1: Double Barrel 1911

Arsenal AF2011 A1 pictures

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.
