Default Doubled Barreled Auto Loader

I was looking through some brochures of various auto-loaders when I came upon an auto loader
that was chambered in .38 Super. To my surprise, this was a gun that was also a double-barreled
auto loader. I have never seen one before! It is made by Arsenal Firearms. It is a replicated legendary Colt 1911-A1 commemorative. What a beautiful piece!

Arsenal has been making these for many years. They are produced in all the standard 1911 chamberings including 45ACP and 10MM

While a Government model weighs in at 39 ounces, the double barrel 45ACP Arsenal weighs 70 ounces. This is not a popular concealed carry piece.

The two barrels are regulated to 15 yards.

Here are a few pics I took a couple years back

Saw a segment about the arsenal double autos. Figure 7 round each mag for a total of 14 rounds little over a half pound of bullets going down range. Frank
