This ensures a natural sight line and good reach of the controls. The SA/DA trigger allows safe cocking via the longer DA trigger pull, while the SA mode offers a more defined trigger travel for repeat-accurate follow-up shots. The fixed sights (rear sight/front sight) are designed for quick target acquisition and are resistant to misalignment. The nickel-plated surface is corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain; fingerprints can be quickly removed with a soft cloth. The metal chassis (zinc die-cast) gives the pistol the necessary mass for a forgiving recoil and functional behavior with 9 mm P.A.K. blank, irritant, and signal cartridges. The proven feeding geometry supports reliable function with standard market ammunition, provided it meets PTB specifications. Official manufacturer data on weight and overall length are not published; the listed values are based on common model dimensions of this series.Comparison & AlternativesWithin the Ekol family, the Firat Magnum is positioned as a full-size model. Those who want an even larger grip with potentially higher magazine capacity can consider the Ekol Firat P92 Magnum (larger frame; overall length approx. 215 mm). Compact alternatives for smaller hands or concealment-friendly storage are the Ekol P29 (overall length about 157 mm) or the Ekol Special 99 (around 160 mm). These more compact models save weight and length but forgo parts of the full
-Size ergonomics and mostly magazine capacity. In direct comparison, the Firat Magnum scores with its smooth shooting characteristics and classic operation concept, while the P29/Special 99 impress with handling and reduced size. For maximum magazine support and the 92-typical operation path, the Firat Magnum remains the balanced middle ground among the Ekol variants.

Legal Notices (DE)
Blank-firing, irritant, and signal weapons (SSW) with PTB approval in the circle are freely purchasable in Germany from 18 years of age (proof of age required). Carrying in public is only permitted with a valid Small Weapons License; regardless, transport regulations must be observed (unloaded, not ready for use, in a locked container). Firing pyrotechnic signal ammunition is only allowed with a mounted, approved launching cup and in compliance with local regulations and safety distances. Always check the PTB approval stamped on the weapon; use only approved ammunition. Follow the instructions in the manual and the relevant provisions of the Weapons Act (WaffG).

Maintenance & Care
Clean the pistol after shooting from powder residue and deposits: treat barrel/gas path (as far as accessible), bolt area, and feed with suitable, non-aggressive cleaning agents, then lightly preserve with high-quality gun oil. Care for the nickel-plated surface with soft, lint-free cloths; avoid abrasive polishes to maintain gloss and coating. Store the weapon dry, dust-protected, and separate from ammunition. Seals and springs benefit from occasional functional checks and sparing lubrication. Be sure to follow the instructions in the manual for (partial) disassembly; improper interventions are to be avoided.
