...to every handgun hunting question ever asked concerning "what caliber, what bullet, how big, will it kill this, blah blah..etc etc.





Just hit 'em 2 for 1; game over, no more questions.

You go ahead and spend the money for it, then let me shoot a couple of mags through it and I will call it good!

If that is the ultimate answer then it must be a pretty stupid question.

So, what happens when one side jams?

Eww, another thought…

Could you imagine that in a 460 Rowland?

You could take it your local range and pepper people to your right & your left with your flying brass. Personally, I like 1911's but I think that qualifies as "too much of a good thing."

I think somone decided the wheel, in this case the 1911, hadn't been reinvented enough. It's like movie sequels, at some point they really start to suck!

will it cycle reliably if only one side is used?
if so, is it undersprung for the use of both at the same time?
will there be a version with two different calibers one day?
who makes an inside the waistband holster and how many sizes larger do I have to buy my jeans to carry this amazing feat of modern engineering concealed?

looks like a fun novelty item, though. I'd like to try one once.

seriously now, imagine getting a squib on one side and not noticing it. ouch.

or ejecting a live round with a lazy primer.

ok, here's the challenge: who can invent a revolver with not only two but three cylinders that fire simultaneously?
and I'm not talking Dillon minigun here.

C'mon rod, aren't you jealous you didn't think of it?? !!!!

;\)

As most of the replies seem to emulate:

cool idea, would if i could, but probably won't.

Personally, I feel it is a neat feat of engineering and maybe even greater of production. And it works. And who else thought of it...and made it!

With today's technologies, what is wrong with exploring "new frontiers?" Even if just to see if it will work!

Or are you just a Grump!

Kinda neat, but probly not practical... Seems like it would be hard to get the barrels to shoot to the same point.

Plus, there are autos that have that much power with one bullet!! And it would be a lot easier to get one barrel to shoot where you want I would think.

I'd like to play with one though...
