    20200821_193920. Well I picked up an altor 9mm pistol since it's weird and cheap. All I can say is its one zip gun to rule them all.
    I say it's the perfect gun if you only have one 9mm gun and want a second one so if your 9mm pistol renders it's self non firing you still have something that goes bang. With out spending a bunch of money.
    You have to work the trigger to hang a round on the bolt. If you drop it with the safety off it will probably go off.
    It's simple stainless steel construction, all you have to do drip some oil on it. So it's easy to clean. Don't have a gun cleaning kit? Just push an oily paper towel through the bore and put a drop of oil on the firing pin.

    I found reproduction "liberator pistols" now with rifling! And they're over 500 GD dollars.
    I have an unexplained urge to thread the muzzel on the altor.

    I’ll take a pass. The trigger seems...less than ideal.

    I watched a couple of video "reviews" My first though then was "Suicide pistol" as in only good for a suicide.

    Meh, they still sell over-priced two shot Derringers, another mystery for me - as many compact autos are the same size...

    Personal choice - what makes the World go Round since it was square...

    It's a professionally made zip gun.
    When I say I have a gun you can rent an a bullet you can have this is what I'm talking about.

    How cool is that, a break open magazine fed semi (sort of) auto and all for more money that it’s worth.

    Doesn't even look like cheap cast iron. Looks like some sort of potmetal.

    That's why we urge folks to stock spare parts and if they can a backup to not only their firearms but to every important piece of equipment to their survival plans. That $125.00 or whatever it cost would've been far better spent on spare parts for one of your better quality firearms.

    A few parts aren't a gun.
    It's a zip gun that at least duplicates the accuracy of a good quality sub compact.
    You don't have to like it.
    I would have liked to have gotten a Beretta carbine or sig 9mm but prices are stupid high right now.
    Since this thing is so hated it looks like I have some trolling to do
