TISAS Model ZIGANA-SPORT semi-automatic pistol
The ZIGANA Series is a system of selfloading handguns manufactured in Turkey by the firm of TISAS - TRABZON GUN INDUSTRY CORPORATION A/S, located in the historic and exotic city of TRABZON. The ZIGANA series is a fairly original pistols cache, although it is obviously based, at least as far as it concernes the look and some technical layouts, on the well-known Israeli JERICHO pistols. The ZIGANA pistols are said to be reliable and accurate, comfortable enough to carry thanks to their polymer frames, and for this reason them have been adopted by a number of Police and Military organizations in Turkey, as it can be seen HERE: http://www.trabzonsilah.com/index.php?link=referanslar The ZIGANA-SPORT is the newest kid in the series. As its own name states, it has been conceived for sport shooting, and has a particular compensation - heat reduction system, and a particularly light trigger pull that allows quick repetition and low recoil, which is particularly important for IPSC shooters. -TECHNICAL SPECS- CALIBER: .9x19mm (a.k.a. the 9mm "Luger/Parabellum/NATO" AMMUNITIONS CAPACITY: 15 rounds in double-stack column magazine EFFECTIVE RANGE: 100 m ± 10m WORKING SYSTEM: Simple Recoil System, Semi-Automatic, SA/DA SAFETIES: Automatic Firing Pin Blocking Device / Pin Safety Block / Hammer Blocking Device SIGHTS: Fixed Square Front Sight - U-Shaped Rear Sight MUZZLE VELOCITY: 370 +/- 10 m/sn (Before 5000 shots) 368 +/- 10 m/sn (after 5000 shots) TRIGGER WEIGHT: 1500-3500 gr Single Action, 2500-6000 gr Double Action (Before 5000 shots) 1200-3200 gr Single Action, 2000-5500 gr Double Action (after 5000 shots) OVERALL WEIGHT: 970 gr ± 10 gr EMPTY MAGAZINE WEIGHT: 90 gr LOADED MAGAZINE WEIGHT: 290 / 314 gr TOTAL LENGHT: 213,5 mm HEIGHT: 142,4 mm WIDTH: 34 mm SPACE BETWEEN SIGHTS: 174 mm BARREL LENGHT:130 mm MAX.
