Developed for the needs of the army by the Austrian gunsmiths, the Glock shooting system has established itself as one of the best in the world. In 2011, the Turkish company Target Technologies designed a traumatic pistol, the basis for which was the combat Glock 17. According to experts, this is a high-quality shooting model with excellent characteristics. The combat pistol was successfully adapted for the needs of a civilian consumer. The traumatic gun "Glock-17" in the technical documentation is listed as "Phantom-T". Description, characteristics and feedback from owners about the injury are contained in the article.
About the appearance
Judging by numerous reviews, the Glock-17 and the traumatic model are very similar in appearance. Both rifle units with square bolt guards, plastic frames and anatomical handles. Since it is forbidden to produce traumatic weapons that would completely replicate military weapons, in Phantom-T a bright white marking was applied to the case. The frame of the gun is a steel frame coated with plastic. Thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the weight of the injury is reduced. Convenient ergonomic handle, as in the military analogue, contains special notches for the fingers.
About the trunk
Both rifle units also differ in barrel design. If you look at the traumatic "Glock-17" in front, you can see that the trunk is oval, not round. On the back side of the barrel with a square cross section. The diameter of its middle part is narrowed to 5 mm. Some consumers are interested in why these design changes were made if the diameter of the shells used by the injury is 11 mm? According to experts, the task of barrel narrowing is to prevent the firing of live ammunition.
In an effort to maintain a spectacular appearance for the Phantom-T, Turkish designers, in contrast to Russian manufacturers, took a different path. As a result, the traumatic Glock is equipped with a barrel without different jumpers. Structurally, it consists of a false barrel, the wall thickness of which is 2.5 mm, and a liner - a special steel insert with 2.5 mm walls. Thanks to this element, the barrel channel is resistant to corrosion processes and has an increased operational resource. According to the owners, the weapon is quite accurate and long-range.
About design
The creator of the non-combat weapon mounted the bolt latch and the clip latch on the left side of the frame. In the traumatic "Glock-17" ammunition is carried out from a box store, designed for 10 rounds. The gun is equipped with a trigger mechanism designed for double action. To fire a shot, the owner must first cock the trigger. Also, the use of trauma from self-cocking is not excluded. In rifle models for self-defense, standard sighting mechanisms are used: a fixed front sight and a rear sight. Under the barrel there is a place for a special guide, with which the traumatic gun can be equipped with additional tactical devices: a laser sight or a small flashlight.
About fuses
In an effort to make the injury safe for the owner, the Turkish manufacturer equipped the shooting model with three automatic fuses. You can apply the traumatic "Glock-17" after the arrow fixes the lever located in the trigger and presses the special button. It was mounted on the handle of a gun. To completely unlock the injury, the owner needs to grip the handle firmly and activate the button. According to experts, if you accidentally press the trigger, the shot will not follow. This design feature provides the shooter with complete safety.
About ammunition
It was originally planned that the traumatic "Glock-17" will be available in two versions. For them, 45 Rabber cartridges and 9 mm RA were developed. One of the versions was to be equipped with a store with a capacity of 15 ammunition, the second - 9. Fans of traumatic rifle products were intrigued by this news, since the weapons range could be replenished with two high-quality pistols at once, whose characteristics would differ due to the use of different charges. However, the traumatic Glock 17 received 10x22T ammunition.
Equipped with a magazine with a capacity of 10 rounds. According to the owners, these charges are characterized by good power, which is enough to hit an opponent dressed in winter clothes. Nevertheless, there is a drawback in this parameter: using such a powerful tool in the summer, the owner of the injury will probably have problems with the law. This is due to the fact that 10x22T shells have high penetrating ability. Once in a person, such a shell can seriously damage internal organs.

- The total length of the injury is 20 cm, the trunk is 11.4 cm.
- Gun height 14, width - 3 cm.
- Shooting from the Phantom-T is carried out by 10x22T cartridges.

About Strengths
Judging by the numerous reviews of the owners, "Phantom-T" has the following advantages:
- Increased safety margin.
- High precision accuracy. The optimal distance for effective shooting is 15 meters.
- The presence of a reliable fuse system.
- High power.
- Using comfortable ergonomic handles.
- Pistols are equipped with capacious 10-charge clips.
- The possibility of firing live ammunition is completely prevented.
Externally, the injury looks very stylish. A non-combat rifle unit will become both an effective means of self-defense and a good gift.
About cons
Despite a number of undeniable advantages, Turkish traumatic weapons have some drawbacks. Judging by consumer reviews, the following can be attributed to the disadvantages of a gun:
- Injury, as some owners are convinced, even with empty ammunition weighs a lot. Also it is too overall.
- There are frequent cases when the clip falls out at the most inopportune moments. This is explained by the presence of an insufficiently strong button responsible for fixing the store.
- The shutter lag is equipped with a button that is too tight.
- For the manufacture of valves, the manufacturer uses light and not durable materials. However, today, taking into account the wishes of consumers, Turkish gunsmiths correct this nuance. It is planned that the valves will be made of high strength steel.
- Ammunition with non-standard sizes is fired.
Finally
Since the Austrian pistol is widely used in the filming of films and has already managed to please many, according to experts, on the part of the Turkish arms company, choosing Glock as the basis for their injury was a good commercial move. The Turkish rifle unit is no less reliable and has a high operational resource, due to which it is in great demand among civilian consumers.
