Pubic service announcement for LEO’s, security personnel, and responsible gun owners. Don’t miss this during a pat down or search. Parents, pay attention on what “toy guns” some child is playing with.
Altor 9mm Single-Shot:
*At first glance, the Altor 9mm resembles an air compressor, garden hose nozzle, glue gun, or maybe even a small hairdryer. But it doesn’t look like a typical pistol, aside from the fact it’s roughly shaped like one. *
This is good because it may be less intimidating to new people. But it’s also bad because it could be easy for a child to mistake for a toy and do something stupid. If you have little ones, be extra careful with one of these around.
For those of us who have been training for years, we have all had “little mishaps” occur. A couple of these has humbled yours truly in the past. I had to laugh at loud at these examples.
Honor, Integrity, and Loyalty are three words unknown to the woke crowd. Always remember the warriors that came before you:
A Native American named Joseph Medicine Crow was an infantryman and a scout from World War II. He was the last war chief from the Crow tribe of Montana. He completed the last four requirements to become a legitimate war chief when; he touched an enemy without killing them, took an enemy’s weapon, led a successful war party, and stole 50 horses. He did all of these things while fighting Nazis in Europe.
My takeaways from this:
-Have pride in your heritage, never forget who you are or where you came from.
-Be part of something greater than yourself.
-Be fearless and fight like a savage against evil.
Out of curiosity, is a weapon like this feasible/of any use for self defence scenarios? You’ve only got one shot. With adrenaline running and whatnot wouldn’t it be pretty easy to misfire
IMHO, I don’t want to rely on anything that is a single shot, so, for me , no. However, to give credit to a poster who used to be here, " It’s better than bad breath and finger nails".
The jist of the story from Dec 14, 2010: Long Beach PD (CA) officer respond to a man with a gun. The man was sitting on a backyard porch and was shot by two officers with a “gun” in his hand…which turned out to be a water nozzle.
I looked at the specs and it doesn’t seem like you gain much at all.
My sig p365 is roughly twice the weight loaded, which is still quite light and the same width while having 10 + 1 rounds. I can’t see that light single shot bein any more accurate or easy to shoot.
This model has be discontinued as the pic says, but, if you can find one, its a nice steel carry option. I bought mine about 4 or 5 years ago and it delivers. The price has doubled since I bought mine. sign of the times.
Appreciate the recommendation man, I’ve had good luck with Springfield products so far. I’ll probably go full size when I do pull the proverbial trigger though, since it’ll almost exclusively be a range gun rather than a carry option.
Piked up a CMMG Banshee in .45 ACP last month. Was running crazy during that period home, so didn’t get a chance to go shoot it (Holosun I ordered for it showed up dead in the box, had to send it back). Planning on starting the suppressor process after I get home, as well as a folding stock adapter. Plan is for this to go in a backpack as part of a ‘counter active shooter’ kit.
Information for new gun buyers on the ammo shortage. Buyer beware, stay with reputable companies on buying and ordering ammo, price gouging is showing its ugly head.
Note: From personal experience, ammo prices rise and fall like the stock market. Check daily for price changes.

“If you want peace train for war” = prevention by being better at fighting than the other guy, before a fight starts…
Then as the former Strategic Air Command, who dealt with the big toys, motto said, “Peace is our Profession.” That simply meant we can blow your country up faster than u can blow ours up, and more times…
@idaho you’re spot on about ammo bro. I’d add that it’s helpful for tge overall market to buy ammo local vs internet when feasible.
That said, I couldn’t locate mine and recently paid $14/box of 50 than I did in 2019. Crazy. Thank God I was already well stocked on JHP’s when the shortage started, and no, I didn’t cause it
