The tapered, round profile 2.90" barrel and the tubular receiver are both CNC-machined from 416RS stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 28 to 32. It was important that even though the gun would be one of the least complicated, it would still be produced using modern design principles, top of the line manufacturing techniques, and high-quality materials.Ī view of the back end of the Altor barrel removed from the receiver. Alex Malcolm, scientist and inventor of the Altor pistol, teamed up with three engineering firms to tackle the task of producing an American made handgun that would be durable, reliable, and affordable enough to be purchased by those on the tightest of budgets. How minimalist can a handgun really get? Let's take a look at the Altor Single-Shot Pistol to find out. With a suggested retail price of $129, this single-shot derringer is likely to be available at real-world prices of $100 or less. But in 2020, Altor Corporation has introduced a striker-fired, polymer-framed 9 mm that brings the component count down to an all-time low of six. Gaston Glock introduced a polymer-frame, striker-fired 9 mm pistol that was simplified to just 34 components.
We were all pretty impressed back in the 1980s when Mr. People are looking to simplify, de-clutter, and get down to just the bare bones of things. The Minimalist Movement has been sweeping the nation of late.
