Zoraki 914 blank firing pistol blued 9mm P.A.K. +

Schreckschusspistole Zoraki 914-P 9mm P.A.K. blued including shoot-club 50 blank cartridges

Just a few years ago, the company ATAK Arms from Turkey was completely unknown here in Germany. Due to regulatory reasons, the Zoraki 914-P was reserved for our neighboring countries. However, this changed in 2011 when the company ESC took over the import and ensured a PTB approval. The initial skepticism towards a Turkish blank-firing pistol faded when the first reports of experience circulated. These placed the quality on par with manufacturers like Umarex & Co. In terms of reliability, it even surpasses some German competitors. The Zoraki 914-P is a compact semi-automatic gas pistol with a magazine capacity of 14 rounds in caliber 9mm P.A.K. Optionally, 25-round magazines can be used. The blued version features black plastic grip panels. The 914-P also has a manual thumb safety and a combined single/double action trigger.

Our assessment

After all the praise circulating on the internet, we were very curious about the compact signal pistol. As is common with many suppliers, the delivery comes in a black plastic case. In addition to the weapon itself, there is a launch cup, an instruction manual, and a cleaning brush included. Upon opening, we experienced the first wow effect. The blank-firing pistol looks really good. We were also surprised by the size. The 914-P is slightly more compact than a Röhm RG 88. However, the grip of the Zoraki is thicker, which noticeably improves handling. Overall, the weapon fits very well in the hand with its interestingly shaped grip panels. The workmanship can only be described as very good. The bluing also appears to be of high quality. To check the internal values, we disassembled the Zoraki 914-P. The process is simpler than expected. Anyone who has cleaned a live CZ 75 before will immediately recognize the parallels. The slide is pulled back until the groove aligns with that of the frame. Then, the slide stop lever is pried out. Now the slide can be removed forward. And here too, we were met with a solid concept. The breech block and hammer have a steel insert, which should significantly increase durability. To verify this, we took an optionally available 25-round magazine and fired it empty four times. We used both brass and steel-cased cartridges. After 100 shots, we can confirm that the reliability of the 914-P blank-firing pistol is convincing.

How should one conclude this test? The Zoraki 914-P gas/signal pistol impresses with its appearance, handling, workmanship, and reliability. When you also consider the unbeatable price, there is no reason not to add this weapon to your collection. We are thrilled.

Note: To carry the weapon outside of your own home, business premises, or secured property, a government permit in the form of a small firearms license is required. The PTB number in the photo may differ from the current PTB number!
