ADKAL GHOST
For the United States, it will be named CD-9 and distributed by Charles Daly (KBI, Inc.)
The ADKAL "Ghost" pistol, intended for sports shooting, personal/home/property defense and service within Police or Private Security forces, is a product of the Turkish manufacturer known as VOLTRAN ARMS, which manufactures and distributes a wide array of blank-firing replicas and "traumatic guns", or blank-firing pistols with special ammunition loaded with less-than-lethal payload for personal defense (rubber bullet, CS, Mace gas, etc.). Their products are mostly known under the "Blow" tradename. The ADKAL "Ghost" is a single-action-only, stryker-fired selfloading handgun which borrows features from either the German WALTHER P-99 (namely the design of the frame, which features a Picatinny rail for accessories attachment) and the Austrian GLOCK pistols (namely the slide design and the disassembly procedure). The ADKAL "Ghost" pistol has been introduced by Voltran Arms in 2008 at the SHOT Show and the IWA expos.
