    Fantastic! Gotta try it now, even though I had to see it to believe it. Good shooting, Mr. von Benedikt!

    My advise is when a gun is full loaded and cocked you cannot holster that side

      Mr. Burak:

      The guns used in this video are designed to be carried loaded and cocked—cocked and locked, as the saying goes. And the fact is that the holsters provide the ONLY way to safely handle two such guns on a firing line, as one cannot empty and show clear with only one hand; each gun must be put on safe and holstered while the other is cleared.

    Can you get the other guys to stop shooting just long enough for you to make this shot? It is annoying to try to listen to you when others are banging away.

    I am impressed! That is a lot harder than most people realize.

    I assume you sight in one and then the other. The trick is to keep that first arm from moving while sighting the second. A lot of concentration.

    Quite impressive! I recall some other fine shooting I saw you do years ago from the back of a fast moving horse!
