It combines a classic operating concept with contemporary manufacturing in metal alloy and polymer grip panels.

The Titan finish is not only visually appealing but also durable and resistant to hand sweat and light signs of use. The DA/SA trigger allows both safe cocking and firing via the longer double-action path and more precise shooting in single-action mode after cycling the action. The fixed sights (rear/front) are robustly designed and easily visible at short to medium distances – ideal for signal emissions or firing irritant/noise cartridges within the permitted scope.The magazine feed is tailored to common 9 mm P.A.K. cartridges. The design of the feed and ejector geometry supports reliable function when using high-quality cartridges. The grip design with textured grip panels offers a secure hold even with gloves. Thanks to the compact overall length, the Special 99 is easy to carry and store discreetly; at the same time, it has enough mass to control the recoil impulse of blank and irritant cartridges well. The included loading cup allows safe screwing of approved pyrotechnic ammunition (e.g., effect rockets) according to the instructions.Comparison & AlternativesWithin the Ekol range, the Special 99 ranks below bulkier models and targets users who prefer a compact solution. Compared to larger, service pistol-like models, it offers advantages in transport and handling, while in direct comparison to even smaller compact models
that provides a bit more mass for well-controllable rapid fire. As a close alternative within the brand, for example, the P29 is an option, which focuses even more on minimal dimensions. If you prefer a larger format with generally higher magazine capacity, you will find alternatives in full-size blank-firing pistols from other Ekol models. In the compact class of other manufacturers, models like the Zoraki 914 are common. The choice essentially depends on desired ergonomics, surface finish, scope of delivery, and personal preference.

Legal Notes (DE)
The acquisition of blank-firing, irritant, and signal weapons (SSW) with PTB approval mark is free in Germany from 18 years of age. A valid small firearms license is required for carrying outside of enclosed property. Shooting is only permitted on enclosed property with the owner's consent and in compliance with local regulations; on New Year's Eve, the respective municipal regulations must also be observed. Pyrotechnic effects may only be used with a mounted, approved muzzle cup and appropriately marked pyrotechnic ammunition. Transport must be unloaded, not ready to fire, and in a locked container. Please observe the operating instructions and all relevant provisions of the Weapons Act (WaffG), the 1st Explosives Regulation (1. SprengV), as well as local ordinances.

Maintenance & Care
For long-term reliable function, regular maintenance is recommended. After use, powder residues should be removed from the barrel/muzzle cup area, bolt, and feed ramp with suitable cleaning agents. A thin protective film of suitable gun oil protects against corrosion; excess oil should be avoided to prevent gumming. Check the firing spring, ejector, and condition of the magazine lips at intervals. Store the pistol dry, dust-free, and separate from ammunition. The muzzle cup must be cleaned and stored dry after pyrotechnic use. Use only approved care products and follow the instructions in the operating manual.
