But I nor anyone said the altor was intended for self defense beyond snakes using snake shotshells.
The only reason I can think of to consider getting more than 1 is if they come out with another caliber like 22lr as I have like four or five 22lr silencers.
Pirate stuff is always cool. I have 2 cap muzzle loading pistols and 2 flint locks, taking them all to the range is always fun, cleaning them all after, not so much. A blackpowder muzzle loader would be superior to an altor for self defense as the pirate gun would pack more punch and could give an assistant a proper beating after it's fired.
Altor seems to think their pistols are designed for defense. That quote is from their website's FAQs.
