Revolver Shoots Two Bullets At Once
“This gun is very simple to use,” says Lou Frutuoso, president of Standard Manufacturing, who developed and started selling the gun in 2019. “The advantage is system redundancy. Two tiny bullets create the same energy on the attacker with the advantage of a gun without a recoil.”
If one bullet misfires, the other one fires. Plus, the cylinder holds 8 rounds so 4 shots can be fired in seconds with the double barrel, double action revolver. Besides regular .22 magnum shells, .22 magnum birdshot shells can be used.
“The beauty is you can put a bullet and birdshot in to shoot at the same time,” Frutuoso says. That works well for shooting everything from snakes to bigger pests on the farm or ranch.
The 3 1/2-in. long revolver with a 1 1/4-in. barrel is a short range gun designed for 12 yards or closer. It has an easy, long trigger pull with a toggle safety. It’s safe and simple to use, even for people who don’t do a lot of shooting.
“It’s not a gimmick. It’s a novel idea from people thinking out of the box. It’s been very popular,” Frutuoso says.
The revolver sells for $429, and buyers must have a handgun permit.
