I can't think of anything else that has two grips labeled as such. Are there legal reasons why you would want to call such a thing a pistol? So, what is the definition of a pistol?

The Harris Desert Rhino pistol was much better looking, resembling an overgrown Remington XP100.

You would just need to leave the weapon with me for about a week for fitting. Also a box of cartridges for sizing the cartridge loops. Yeah, a week should do it. This looks like it would be all kinds of fun. Almost as much fun as it would hurt! Art Greetings from Texas,
