• It is a bit hard to get the slide catch-release out when field-stripping

Comments: I have to say I really like the EKOL Aras, it's a nice compact size and weight but still holds 15+1 rounds of 9mm P.A.K. blanks. Mine came with rubberized wrap around grips, something none of my other EKOL blank shooters had. The black finish on the EKOL guns is always nice and this one looked even better with the contrasting chrome barrel and ejection port. If you like the Browning Hi-Power look then you will probably like this blank gun and it would also make an excellent training gun for Browning fans or for just about anyone for that matter.
