Turns out Arsenal Firearms is actually going ahead with production and sales of their AF2011-a1 double-barreled .45 semi-auto pistol. I mentioned it here most of a year ago; you can now preorder. For the low, low price of four-and-a-half grand.

I remain at a bit of a loss as to how this is legal in the US. It would seem a single trigger pull would result in two rounds going of, which would put this thing in the same Class III category with machine guns.

On the other hand… I wonder how hard it could really be for a good gunsmith to create a single-barreled pistol that had two magazines as this one does. The two mags would either cycle alternately, or they’d cycle sequentially. Either way, two slim 10-round magazines side-by-side in the grip would seem to nicely get around the current fad of “high capacity magazine” bans.
