In this combo you receive the following :
1 X Blow Mini 9 Shiny Chrome W/ Brown Grips
15 X Blank Rounds
Subcompact sized pistol, sporting pronounced finger grooves w/ hard polymer handle, which is actually a whole / single gripstock w/ two finger grooves integrated. This gripstock is slightly angularly dot-checkered on the side face of the handles, also featuring horizontal texturing across the fingergrooves. The magazine floorplate is curved at the fore-end to prevent the ring finger from slipping off the pistol handle.
The magazine is not released per the usual fashion, rather, via a cross-serrated tab behind the floorplate, which, once depressed, allows the magazine to be pulled out. If the slide at this time had been caught by the internal slide catch, it will be reset once the magazine is pulled out. So the tab in question both acts as magazine release and slide release. Please bear this in mind.
The blowback spring isn't as stiff as the P114's and the pistol cocks very easy. Woman-friendly at that as well. To chamber the first round with a full magazine, one needs to rack the slide all the way to the back and let it go. Don't ride the slide forward, as that might cause a feeding problem - the slide needs to deliberately ram the cartridge into the chamber from behind.
The pistol's safety and field strip function is integrated into the safety lever, thus to strip the slide, one needs only toggle that mechanism to its 7 o' clock position, then the slide will come off as one racks it. The safety function sits at the 4 'o clock position, where the red dot is. When the lever covers this red dot, the trigger cannot be pulled / is blocked from being pulled. The hammer can still be pulled and likewise, the slide can still be racked. This safety however, does not decock the gun.
This gun is hammer fired and the top of the hammer is like a porcupine head - a curve ridge shape, streaked w/ steps of serrations, which adds cocking traction. The cocking serrations themselves milled out the slide, are forwardly jutting, at about 70° sharp angles, which helps the slide to rack easier. These resemble ratchet teeth and there are nine per side. This really does help to rack the slide easier.
This gun as most of you guys by now already know, fits in one's palm and is pocket-friendly. Just be sure to keep the safety engaged if you intend on carrying the gun this way or if you intend on keeping it inside your hand bag.
Comes prepacked in a softer hardshell carry case, but with no extras, save for the bilingual instruction manual and sometimes, a flare tip attachment.
Possibly unique to this gun among most blank guns, is the presence of a "chamber counter" - a spring loaded little steel bar that, when the chamber is empty, is reared up at the back. When a cartridge is in the chamber, this bar levels out and indicates that the chamber is loaded and ready to fire, on condition that the safety is off.
Otherwise, this is a really nice gun - one of our favourite sub-compact guns.
