Maybe the best thing about the Altor is that it has to be one of the most reliable guns on the planet with the absolute minimum moving parts. It could sit untouched in a damp basement for 10 years and still do what it does without even oiling. It's also about the minimum you can buy (both price and weight) that fires 9mm Luger. Impressively well made for the price, except the barrel will wiggle very slightly when locked in place which IMO it shouldn't. Won't adversely affect accuracy much because it wasn't intended to have much. The trigger doesn't lend itself to precise aiming and Altor acknowledges the barely there rifling is to convince BATF this is a legit pistol not a zip gun made in a factory. If bad luck ever presses it into a defensive purpose you will need to see the the hairs in their nose not the whites of their eyes. Not for everybody but so unusual the shop owner who does my FFL transfers wants to get one for himself. Call it 4 stars as a clever exercise in simplicity put into production.
