The Special 99 positions itself within the portfolio as a compact all-year solution – light, manageable, and reduced to the essentials. The design follows an ergonomic, secure grip line for fast, intuitive operation. In Germany, the brand has been available for years through established import and distribution partners; thus, spare parts, service, and compatible accessories are reliably available. The Special 99 was developed for users who prefer a handy, everyday-suitable blank firing pistol with solid metal construction and uncomplicated maintenance, without sacrificing proven safety and operating features.Technical DataManufacturer: EkolType: Blank firing pistol (gas and signal weapon)Caliber: 9 mm P.A.K.Blank firing ammunitionModel: Special 99Color: blackCaliber: 9 mm P.A.K.Magazine capacity: 14+1 roundsTrigger: Double ActionSights: fixed (rear sight/front sight)Grip material: metal alloy (zinc die-cast)Slide material: metal alloy (zinc die-cast)Grip panels: plasticWeight: approx. 738 g (empty weight)Overall length: approx. 172 mmScope of delivery:1x Ekol Special 99 Blank Firing Pistol 9 mm P.A.K.1x magazine1x user manualFeatures & PerformanceThe Ekol Special 99 is designed for reliable function in everyday use. The compact format facilitates handling without sacrificing stability: grip and slide made of metal alloy provide robust strength and a balanced feel in the hand. The fixed sights (rear sight/front sight) are sufficiently precise for short to medium distances and resistant to shocks. A practical grip design with textured grip panels supports a secure hold, even with wet hands or cold exposure. The operating logic remains deliberately classic to ensure clear, consistently safe handling. In caliber 9 mm P.A.K., the feeding – when using high-quality cartridge ammunition – is consistent and reproducible. The compact overall length of 160 mm also facilitates storage and transport in a locked container according to legal requirements.For material choice, Ekol relies on zinc die-cast for the main components. This construction, which has proven itself many times in the blank firing sector, offers a good balance of stability, weight, and cost. Plastic grip panels are wear-resistant and easy to replace or clean. Maintenance is uncomplicated: after use, cleaning the barrel end, feed ramp, and bolt areas as well as lightly oiling the relevant contact points is recommended. This keeps the function reliably durable.Comparison & AlternativesWithin the Ekol family, the Spec
ial 99 positioned as a compact all-rounder. If you want it even shorter, the Ekol P29 (overall length approx. 157 mm, weight about 667 g) offers a similarly handy alternative with a slightly different grip geometry. For users who value more mass and a longer sight radius, the Ekol Firat Compact can be interesting (overall length approx. 186 mm, weight about 1,072 g): It feels heavier in the hand and appeals to users who prefer a subjectively steadier shooting behavior when signaling. The decisive factor is the intended use: While the P29 and Special 99 are clearly designed for compact dimensions, the Firat series tends to offer more reserves in the grip due to its higher unloaded weight.

Legal notes (DE)
Blank firing, irritant, and signal weapons (SSW) with PTB approval may be purchased and stored at home in Germany from the age of 18. Carrying them in public is only permitted with a valid small weapons license (KWS). Regardless, shooting is only allowed on enclosed property with the owner's permission and only if there is no danger to persons or property. Exceptions (e.g., on New Year's Eve) depend on the location; always observe local regulations. Transport only unloaded and in a locked container. Use only suitable 9 mm P.A.K. cartridge ammunition and – if signal ammunition is used – only in conjunction with the appropriate firing cup according to the operating instructions. The PTB marking is on the weapon; without PTB approval, carrying and use in Germany is prohibited.

Maintenance & Care
Safety first: Before any maintenance, unload the weapon, remove the magazine, and check the bolt for an empty chamber. Residues of cartridge powder should be removed promptly, especially in the area of the feed ramp, the bolt, and at the barrel end/adapter. A thin film of suitable gun oil on moving parts (without sealing) maintains function, prevents corrosion, and reduces wear. Avoid aggressive solvents and excessive amounts of oil to protect zinc die-cast and plastic parts. Store the pistol dry, dust-protected, and separate from ammunition; longer storage periods require occasional visual and functional checks. Always follow the instructions in the supplied operating manual.
