The model is aimed at users who value a full-sized grip, good ergonomics, and controllable shooting behavior – whether for training purposes with blank cartridges or for the safe firing of pyro signal ammunition using the appropriate muzzle adapter in outdoor use. Thanks to PTB approval (inspection mark on the weapon), the version available in Germany is legally compliant and intended for legal purchase from 18 years of age. The chrome finish impresses with a low-maintenance surface, high visibility, and classic look. With double-/single-action trigger (DA/SA), fixed sights, and grippy polymer grips, the Firat Magnum offers solid technology for everyday and New Year's Eve use – in a package with an attractive price-performance ratio.History / OriginThe Firat series from manufacturer Ekol is based on the ergonomic concept of proven, internationally widespread service pistols. The goal from the start was to offer users a robust, straightforward, and large-dimensioned gas/signal pistol with familiar handling. The Firat Magnum represents the full-size variant of the series and is offered in various finishes, including the chrome version shown here. For the German market, the model is delivered in a PTB-approved version with adapted barrel construction, fixed gas pressure relief, and the safety features required in Germany.Technical DataManufacturer: EkolType: Blank firing pistol (gas and signal weapon)Caliber: 9 mm P.A.K. blank cartridgesModel: Firat MagnumColor: chromeMagazine capacity: 15 roundsTrigger: Double Action / Single Action (DA/SA)Safety: manual safety on the slide, ambidextrousSights: fixed rear sight/front sightGrip material: zinc die-cast (Zamak)Slide material: zinc die-cast (with steel inserts in stressed areas)Grip panels: polymer, texturedWeight: approx. 1129.6 gOverall length: approx. 198 mmScope of delivery:1x Ekol Firat Magnum, chrome (9 mm P.A.K.)1x magazine1x muzzle adapter for pyro signal ammunition (15 mm)1x user manual1x carrying caseFeatures & PerformanceThe Firat Magnum relies on a full-size grip with a voluminous magazine funnel and sufficient hand support – ideal for users who prefer a full grip length. The double-/single-action trigger allows both a quick first shot from a secured cocked state and a controlled shot from a relaxed state. The fixed sights are deliberately robust and ensure clear target acquisition at short distances. The system is designed for reliable feeding of 9 mm P.A.K. ammunition; the gas pressure is PTB-compliantly vented through the barrel construction. The chrome slide is low-maintenance and visually striking, while the polymer grip panels provide slip resistance and pleasant handling. Due to the full-size design, the weapon sits balanced in the hand; recoil and muzzle rise remain well controllable. For firing pyro signal ammunition, the supplied muzzle adapter is screwed on – only outdoors and according to instructions. Overall, the Firat Magnum offers a balanced ratio of size, operating concept, and reliability for training, signaling purposes, and seasonal use.Comparison & AlternativesWithin the Ekol family, the Firat Magnum is positioned as a full-size model. Those who want maximum magazine capacity will usually find an even larger magazine in models like the Firat P92 variant. More compact alternatives are the Ekol P29 or the Ekol Special 99 – both offer smaller dimensions and are therefore suitable for smaller
Hands or interesting as a space-saving option, but with reduced barrel length and capacity. The Firat Magnum is recommended for users who appreciate the handling of a full-sized service pistol, while P29 and Special 99 are more suitable for compact carrying and transport requirements. In terms of surface finish, besides chrome, black, titanium, or bicolor variants are common depending on availability, covering both aesthetic preferences and maintenance needs.
