Altor single shot 9mm

[Paul7]

I’ll buy one and throw it in the back of the safe.

Why, would a burglar even know what it is?

That got me thinking about putting one in my tool box or in my wife's craft draw as a hail Mary. But I have smallish kids running around. 10-11 so can't do that. I still think it would be neat to get a longer barrel and thread it. Or one could bedazzled it and leave it in a counter or table. No one would know what it is.

bet there are gun nut burglars out there, they would probably put it back tho....

Intergrally suppressed, self slipping trigger, and sub 300 bucks....id bu...wait nope, cant have supressors....still be kinda neat tho.

Amazing the amount of things the DIY guys come up with.

Who could ever have thought that you could take your Glue gun and turn it into a 9m?

I think this disproves the old adage "Any gun is better than no gun". This thing would be dangerous in trained hands. Think of it in the hands of a non gun person who hears a noise down stairs and scared to death try's to employ this.

They would panic and hulk grip the trigger not letting it go forward and would essentially be holding something akin to a grenade with the pin pulled.

absolutely would be neat. Make it of something better than cheap polymer and you could easily have swappable barrels. Rifle, pistol, shotgun, flares, blanks... I’m intrigued enough to buy one if I stumble across one at a hundred bucks. I might have to copy it as a rifle with some low power round in it... or .410. It should be easily broken down to where it fits anywhere.

I think the ramp would prevent thwt by forcing your trigger finger down off the trigger.

Actually that is an interesting use case the locking lugs could be made as strong as we want them build a more robust receiver, a more sophisticated safety and trigger and a good option for mounting an optic and you could theoretically have a good contender like firearm. I wonder how low you could keep the costs.

Make the locking lugs as a separate piece independent from the barrel and let the barrel be screwed in... cheaper and easier to produce and a new caliber is just a torque wrench away and very basic barrel away. A crush washer makes it super easy to set headspace as well.

As a practicality the headspace would be set by the shellholder, even on rimless cartridges. Do a Savage-like system where you just turn the barrel back into the “lug piece” and set it with a locking ring.

....a very hold my beer thought but .223 and 9 mm rims are pretty close if you had a bit of barrel handy and the tools and maybe a half mile of string depending on how robust the lockup on this is you could theoretically get up to some weird shenanigans......one of these in .300 Bo with maybe an eight inch barrel and an improved grip would be an interesting little critter getter

....thank God I don't have unfettered access to a machine shop

I think that applies to a lot of us.

I see it becoming the gangsta hideaway/throwaway/hit gun more than that. The one they hand to the 14 year old for his initiation. Betting your life (and your kids') on one shot? As mentioned, the Hi-point is a much better choice. A single shot smacks of being a covert offensive weapon more than a defensive one. As mentioned before, more like a Liberator pistol, but for what purpose?

Im kinda tempted.

On the other hand, if you pointed it at an attacker they may not think its real which would negate any deterrent value.

Indeed, it could have been styled like a more conventional pistol shape just as cheaply, which tells me that the designers chose the "not a gun" shape on purpose......hmmmm.

I think I saw something homemade from a car door handle that was similar.

Looks like it was made for a single, specific purpose, and I'm really surprised it's being allowed to hit the market.

No machine shop needed for this:

I dont know what its for but I think the idea is interesting. Kind of like a bang stick but appears to be as accurate if not more-so than pistols of similar size.

I'll admit it, I bought one in 9mm. No one around here had one so I had to order it. Didn't get it in yet.
It reminds me of "the liberator" but in 9mm or 380 and with rifling.

That's what I though when I saw it.
Just attach a cord to it or just wrap a cord around it. Suddenly it looks like something not worth stealing or even messing with.

Lets us know about the range report. Those things intrigue me. May have to get one as well.

 

[Project355]

Make it in .45acp and I'm in.....

 

[danez71]

I'm intrigued too,,,, I'm just having a hard time getting over the trigger.

Glam zip gun!

 

[Project355]

I know they're appealing to the largest part of a niche market... but... I'd not mind a very short barrel, and abbreviated grip as well. Put a few shots in the grip a la Flare Projector aka Liberator.

I think the grip on the altor is solid metal since it weighs 10oz. I figured that helps tame hot plus pee self defense 9mm ammo.
On the demolition ranch video it looks like the altor is very capable of hitting targets at ranges capable for any other sub compact 9mm auto.
