You've gone from flesh peddling to flash porn. I'm impressed, man.

Posted by Peccable at March 12, 2012 1:32 PMI wonder which action movie star will be first to fire two of these at once (gangsta' style, of course) in a film?

Posted by f1guyus at March 12, 2012 5:42 PMOoooo!!! All sorts of exciting new stoppages await!
Posted by Mike James at March 12, 2012 6:36 PMNow youze can poke both yer eyes out at the same time!
Posted by monkeyfan at March 12, 2012 6:48 PMI don't know, Mike J. I've always found the M1911 to be very reliable. But it does raise some questions on stoppage drills. And in case one side gets jammed, can you still fire the other one? Looks like you can, but it would be good to know that before you have to do it for real. And I do want to get me one.
Posted by waltj at March 12, 2012 8:53 PMDittos on the 1911. It fires a big slug, but it fits comfortably in the hand, even my smaller than average hand. The grip is slimmer than many small to medium caliber polymer pistols, like Glock. It's heavy, but that heft reduces the felt recoil. You are not going to be holding that weight for very long, and the 45 ACP invitation to an attitude adjustment makes sure you don't have to ask twice.
You can get a GI model Rock Island Armory 1911 for $400-500. You can get a Sig Sauer or Kimber 1911 for $1,000-ish. If Ruger could keep up with demand you can get a really sweet SR1911 for $700 or less. You can probably get a custom made match quality Ed Brown for what I imagine you'd spend on Frankenpistol.
You can window shop at Buds Gun Shop and Gallery of Guns. All the cool kids are doing it.

Posted by azlibertarian at March 13, 2012 7:09 AMThat's completely excessive.
I want one!
Posted by pdwalker at March 13, 2012 8:26 AMRacking that double slide must take brute force.
Posted by Terry at March 13, 2012 10:34 AMOh, yes.
I feel like I walked into a Doublemints commercial.
Posted by Joy McCann/Little Miss Attila at March 13, 2012 12:13 PMwaltj, it looks to me as if there is one fat slide on one fat frame which contains two of everything else (I forgot, one weirdo fat dual magazine). I wouldn't start out to say anything about a 1911, but this is a sort of Siamese 1911, and I can't help thinking that everything depends upon both sets of actions working correctly with each squeeze of the fat trigger. A doubling of the chance of a stoppage, sort of like how that Soviet VSTOL strike aircraft, the Forger, had three times the likelyhood of engine loss, and thus loss of the aircraft, because it depended on three engines to hover, versus Harrier's one.
Posted by Mike James at March 13, 2012 3:49 PMSwiss armourer Vivian Mueller, eh? Wasn't there a Playboy Playmate back in the day by the name of Vivian Mueller? Is this another case of a smoking hot babe coming up with a smoking hot bit of technology, kinda sorta like how Hedy Lamarr invented skip frequency spread spectrum radio transmission? Or maybe her name was Lilian...
Posted by SteveS at March 13, 2012 6:54 PM@Mike J, looks like you're right. But I'd still like to confirm it on the range:-).
