Looks like a good gun for shooting siamese twins with.

Good choice on the out of work Bond villain for the promo video.

Another great reason to stop carrying my 9mm semiauto. I may run into siamese twins with a pair of .45s.

Well, maybe I should do some statistical analysis, and decide what the chances are that I will ever run into a pair of homicidal siamese twins carrying a matched pair of 1911s before I throw away my mouse guns. It's possible that the risk of this happening is so low that it may not be worth altering the status quo.

Showed this to my wife to see if I could get a new max height on her eyeroll. Turns out she's intrigued, and now I really don't know what to think about the whole situation.

I think it may be something like a "Sons of Guns" stunt, where they build crazy stuff that almost nobody could use so that people know who they are and what they can do. Then they spend most of their time filling orders for pretty nice guns that are nothing special from a technical level. Only thing is, where many many people want the guns that Red Jacket builds on the show, most would certainly not want this one.

No, if that Will guy got ahold of this project, it'd have 3 or 4 barrels, be full auto, suppressed, and he'd have to yell at his supposedly smart crew a few times and tell them how dumb they are are at least 2 times.

I only watched it twice. One time had a suppressed 12 gauge, the other they built an M2 machine gun from scratch.

Stunts just don't impress me, and I agree, this is more of an attention grabber than it is a valuable contribution to the industry.

I'm a sucker for stunts like this - where can I buy one? I wish I bought one of those Ballistic Knives when they were legal too. Same thing with the G.R.A.D. Knife gun - especially the GRAD knife gun bayonet version! No, I'm not kidding, I'm serious.

Have any of you checked out the prices on those Braverman .22 / .25 pens?

I liked the part where they claimed it takes 2 changes of magazine to shoot 30 rounds from a 9mm , not to mention that it would take 30 seconds to do.

I love it !

I was dreading having to go a whole year with nothing to really talk about until SHOT show 2013.

Combine this with the Lehigh Defense’s .45 ACP Multiple Projectile Ammunition and you'll be putting 20,200 .44 caliber holes in whoever you shoot.


Let’s see a show of hands for those feeling a little safer right now.

Clearly, this is the perfect solution... for a problem that never existed!

Company says probably Fall before any are available, but you can pre-order.

Im sure Taurus will now produce something similar... Maybe they will call it the Superior Judge even if its a semi auto instead of a revolver...

I'm beginning to wonder if there's a chance that one of those rounds could be discharged out of battery. In addition as the two seperate spings begin to wear even very slightly, the timing is going to be thrown off and both hammers will never hit both firing pins at the exact same time.

Based on another discussion we're having here on the forum, that probably means they'll offer it in .45 GAP, too. <running and ducking...>


RE: P333AT

That little beast is already unpleasant to shoot with just one barrel!! I can't conceive of trying it with three... (or even two!)

Oh, come on! How many times have you aimed at the target and hit just to the left or right of the bullseye? Now, you can have the perfect shot every time.

This made me think of an issue.
How do the two barrels align?
How do the bullets print on target?

I remember reading of the great craftsmanship needed by the makers of those English double rifles, made a hundred years ago or more; to get them to shoot to anywhere near the point of impact.
