 Nope, although the way a lot of folks do it is that you only roll once with
 the Double Action, and if you get a raise the second shot hits (like the way
 it's done with automatic weapons).

 I'm not sure I understand the question, but I think the answer is no.

 Haven't seen a rule for this myself, but it makes sense to me that both
 pistols would benefit from it.  A non Two Fisted character I think I
 wouldn't allow that though, they'd have to draw a bead seperately for each
 pistol.  But that's just my thoughts.

 Kentucky Windage has a duration, so it keeps on going til it runs out.
 There's a huckster sharpshooter in my posse with a Bullard Express who's an
 absolute killing machine - taking headshots at long ranges at fast-moving
 enemies while mounted in the back of a charging wagon over rough ground.
 He's an animal.
