The purpose of the AF2011A1 pistol is to increase the ballistic capability of.45 ACP without the need to develop a more powerful round. The AF2011A1 has its roots in the Grieco pistol that also came with double barrels for the same purpose.

The AF2011-A1 is a double-barreled pistol based on the design of the M1911. It is practically two M1911 pistols built into a single side-by-side frame. Its barrels, triggers, magazines, and hammers all come in pairs, and are connected together so that pulling on one trigger would fire both barrels. The iron sights sit between the two barrels. The majority of internal parts including the firing pins, firing pin plates, sear groups, springs, recoil rods, and mainspring housings are interchangeable with standard M1911 replacement parts.

The available cartridges for the AF2011-A1 are: •.45 ACP •.38 Super

As of September 2015 the AF2011 was available in three variants: • Standard Model: A double-barreled pistol based on the M1911. • Dueller: Has a 6.5-inch SUS416 stainless steel barrel, serrated slide, magnum beavertailed grip and custom trigger set. • Dueller Prismatic: Has top external compensators, 45° side ambidextrous brake ports, 6.5-inch SUS416 stainless steel barrel, serrated slide, custom trigger set, magnum beavertailed grip safety and G10 tactical grips.

The AF2011-A1 is featured in the videogame Killing Floor 2, as a perk weapon for the Gunslinger.
