Derrick shoots the double 1911

This video provides an overview of the Sights Spectre, a 9mm submachine gun designed in 1980 and manufactured in Italy. Due to US import laws, the example shown is semi-automatic. The Spectre features a top-mounted charging handle, ambidextrous manual safety and hammer drop levers, and a unique double-action trigger mechanism that results in a long, heavy initial pull followed by a light pull for subsequent shots. It was known to feed from 30 or 50-round quad-stacked coffin magazines and has been noted for its use in regional conflicts. The BNT KH9 is mentioned as a modern firearm heavily inspired by the Spectre.

This expert review of the Chiappa Rhino 60 DS revolver, presented by NRA Publications' Evan Brune, highlights its unique 10mm Auto chambering and innovative design.
