This gun has most certainly brought new life into this replica which was otherwise a gun slowly descending into unpopularity due to different manufacturer's errors - EKOL has most certainly shown that their model on the market is superior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the specifications otherwise are more or less identical to the BLOW P29, we'll use that same description here;\u003cbr\u003eStarting from the top, we have a long grate of slanted cocking serrations, 37mm in length and 10mm in height. The barrel length is 96mm \/ 3.7\" and the slide is ab out 150mm. The pistol has a push-through field-strip pin that pulls out from left to right. \u003cbr\u003eThe make and model is printed on the left face whereas the calibre marking is printed on the right. The barrel's serial is printed on the side of the breech.\u003cbr\u003eThe slide catch release tab is the typical cheetah style slope \/ serrated ramp \/ triple step that actuates easily. The hammer is grooved along the ball curve of its hollowed appex, that is underscored by a short beaver tail, as it has a shallow hammer arc of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine release and particularly the deeep lobical-shaped clearance around it is certainly a unique feature and definitely permits for speedy release of the magazine with your hand firmly around the gripstocks and even if you happen to have larger fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs it goes with all vintage styled blank guns - this one being no exception - it features am all-metal design and no underbarrel Picatinny railing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buttplate on the magazine is curved and some customers comment that this makes the pistol look less realistic. The magazine is also loose-fitting inside the magwell, but that isn't a trainsmash by any measure, as that, in our opinion, is superior to having a magazine that fits stubborn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe safety mechanism is the classic thumb type that has to be pushed up to go onto \"safe\" whereas a simple downward motion makes the gun go live.
