ALTOR 9mm single shot handgun

[T-Rigger]

Stumbled onto this weird (to me) handgun on the net - the Altor 9 mm. Anyone had experience with it?

Looks overpriced

Just head off the Lome Depot or Howes. If you want it done well try an Ace.

Absolutely correct here in Lake Charles---IMO

Novelty for sure, and if you like the odd ball guns that probably won't stay in production long, you might want to look at it.

The fire control system consist of a spring loaded T shaped striker/trigger unit that is pulled straight back until your finger is forced off the "trigger" by a hump in the grip. Saying it another way, as you pull the trigger back, the hump forces your finger down the face of the trigger until you lose contact with the trigger. At that point the striker/trigger flies forward with enough energy to ignite the primer.

They offer a threaded version as well.

I put the Altor in the same category as the USFA Zip Pistol that I wish I had not sold, but at least the Altor does function as designed!

I still have an old single shot .410/.45 LC from the 90’s it was a little more price friendly and formidable.

They make these in all kinds of calibers. I remember a 7.62x39

Demolition Ranch did a review/test/showcase on this and he really enjoyed it for what it is.

It would also be a great Duel gun.

I want one to make an NFA Cane gun with.

If you hate the 9mm then this is the gun to buy!

Just add a really long suppressor!

Thanks for all the comments. Watched a couple videos after I posted - appears to function albeit some discomfort to use. Just a point of curiosity - not looking to get one.

The Zip looks neat. Years ago, had a Hi-Standard in 22LR - didn't like it much then, but as a novelty somewhat like your Zip, wish I still had it.

Bet it is a bruiser to shoot & a blinder in low light.
