Heizer’s Gearing Up

I had a chance to meet with Ray Kohout, the brain behind the original DoubleTap design that his partner, Charles Heizer, Sr. executed. As you’d probably expect, orders for their new double barreled .45 (it’ll come in 9mm, too) have been rather brisk. As he said with a sly grin, they’ve gotten into the business at just the right time. And having a rather unique product doesn’t hurt, either. . .

But despite all the orders being thrown over the transom at them, Ray says they’re more than up to the task of filling them when final testing is completed and the gun begins to ship in March.

The gun feels better in the hand than you’d think. Solid and light with a butter smooth ten pound trigger that feels more like about seven. And ohhhh, is it thin. MSRP for the .45 in aluminum will be $499. If you want space-age titanium, it’ll run you $729. And porting will add about $80 to either price.

We’re on the list for a review sample. And can’t wait to feel the kick of this little Missouri mule. We’ll keep you informed.
