Arsenal Firearms AF2011A1

The Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1 is a double-barreled, semi-automatic pistol of Italian origin. It is based on the design of the M1911 and is in effect two M1911 pistols built into a single side-by-side frame. Its barrels, triggers, magazines and hammers all come in pairs and are connected so that pulling one trigger fires both barrels, with the iron sights set between the barrels. The stated purpose was to increase the ballistic capability of the .45 ACP without developing a more powerful round, and the design has roots in the earlier Grieco pistol, which also had two barrels. Most internal parts, including firing pins, sear groups, springs and recoil rods, interchange with standard M1911 replacement parts. It is available in .45 ACP and .38 Super, in three variants called Standard, Dueller and Dueller Prismatic. The pistol has appeared in films, television and video games, and a 2015 video of the competition shooter Jerry Miculek firing two of them at once drew wide attention.
