the 1911 caliber debate just got real

[AllenM]

Saw this on the interwebs. Apparently this is Thailand

 

[Birds Away]

I didn't see that coming.

I didn't see that coming.

Me neither. This would only make my trigger jerk that much worse! A 12 ga in a handgun?! Count me out!

 

[GNRPowdeR]

Saw this earlier, too...

Shame it isn't mag fed!

 

[redwingshooter]

And here I was, ready to pontificate on how if JMB wanted it to be in other calibers he would have made it that way. And how the designs for the 1911 were handed down to JMB by God himself of stone tablets...and then Allen just goes and kills my whole diatribe!!! LOL!

Even with the AOW paperwork, I would buy one if they were available in this country. It looks reasonably well-fitted and the cool factor is off the charts.

Obviously the recoil would be rough with highbrass, but with lowbrass birdshot or low-recoil buckshot, I wouldn't be afraid to shoot it. FYI - I have a single shot 1911 in .35 Remington and it is brutal with factory ammo. I'm working towards a lighter load, but it will probably just end up duplicating .357 Maximum performance

Bird and snake shot. Just not in 12 ga.

I would gladly stand back and watch someone else shoot that monster.

 

[halfmileharry]

No problem It's only a 12ga. One in each hand. Get the gun and shells and sell tickets and popcorn...

 

[throttletony]

I saw this same picture the other week... freakin nuts

There has to be a youtube video of that thing out there somewhere!

Wow, I also did not see that coming. Looks like a large hunk of very cheap, very soft, over polished steel to me.

 

[Porter]

Holy moley!!!! I'm not sure I would want to go first if given the chance to shoot that one.

 

[AmmoManAaron]

I will gladly shoot it with a 1 ounce trap load if you want to commission the building of one of these

Heck, you can even sell tickets to the event and popcorn to recoup some of the beating your wallet would take to have it built

But I would NOT shoot a magnum turkey load or anything like that, even if you paid me. I don't want my wrist broke!

 

[LCSOSgt11]

Remember to squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze the trigger. The recoil would probably be fearsome, not to mention reloading time.

Strikes me as something to beHOLD but not beHELD.!

 

[Drail]

What a great idea that is (not). I'm sure it's made from really high quality steel too. Would be an excellent "throw down" gun.

 

[96firephoenix]

12 ga. flare?
