Description

A heavy western pistol is primed by pulling the barrels down towards the handle, two heavy bullets are put into the barrels, the breach is closed, and the hammers on the back are pulled back. Reloading a heavy pistol takes 2 heavy bullets, is a standard action, and provokes attacks of opportunity.

You can shoot a heavy pistol with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons.
