Pistol signal "Stalker": technical characteristics, reviews

Signal pistol "Stalker" is a weapon distributed in several countries, including Russia. This self-loading model in our armament market did not appear long ago. Pistol signal "Stalker" has a full cycle of automation. The basis of the design is the following: the powder gases during the shot allow the bolt to roll back to the rear position in order to remove the shot sleeve.

Introduction

The signal pistol "Stalker" is delivered to the Russian arms market and is allowed to be acquired by civilians for whom it was, in fact, developed. The model has quite good tactical and technical characteristics and a short barrel, which allows you to transport the gun even in your pocket, without exposing it to the public.

About the principle of the shot

After the bolt reaches the rear position (due to the operation of the powder gases of the shot), it starts to move in the opposite direction. The return spring of the weapon contributes to this. In parallel to this process (when the shot sleeve is thrown out of the barrel), a new upper cartridge gets into the chamber. Thus, the cycle of automatic work is completed, and the signal gun "Stalker" is ready for use again.

The advantages of automation implemented in the model

Due to the fact that the conversion of the signal gun "Stalker" uses the principle of pulling back the shutter, it is expected to use a fairly powerful ammunition. By the way, this principle is called the BlowBack function. It is interesting that the signal gun "Stalker" 5.6, the conversion of which is also supplied to the weapons shops of our country, can use cartridges of the same caliber as the signal revolver LOM-S.

In the western marking they are designated as .22NC. If you translate to the Russian analog, it is 5.6 by 16 millimeters. The filler of the cartridge can be sulfur. The power of this ammunition is quite high, the shot is very loud. To verify this, the experts conducted comparative tests.

Reviews: signal pistol "Stalker". Dimensions

Most people who bought this weapon for self-defense, note that the dimensions are really small, which makes it possible to covertly carry arms even in your clothing pocket. So, the length of the whole pistol is only 143 millimeters, despite the fact that its height is 104 millimeters. Thickness - 24 mm. Mass of weapons - only 460 grams. It is safe to say that the dimensions are more typical for subcompact pistols. By the way, such dimensions influence not only transportation of weapons, but also its use.

Food

The signal gun "Stalker" is powered by a single-row magazine designed for 9 rounds.

Finishing Options

The gun on the arms market comes in several models at once, which differ from each other in appearance. For example, there is a matte black version, nickel plated (with chrome finish), as well as various camouflage designs. There are a lot of them, it is not advisable to list them, but we note that there is also a color for the carbon.

Application

The purpose of the pistol signal action "Stalker" is to self-defense. Civilians can purchase a model in an armory store without permission, like many other signal pistols. The self-loading pistol of the signal action "Stalker" is also suitable for training the most basic skills of handling such means. As stated earlier, people who have reached the age of 18 can acquire weapons, even in the absence of a license. The thing is that the caliber used by the pistol is less than 6 millimeters.

Score

The magazine for the signal action "Stalker" was made by casting. In the course of this process, a special alloy was used, which gave the store the appropriate qualities. More specifically, it is an alloy of aluminum and zinc. The form is rather complicated, which can be viewed externally without any difficulties.

In the exterior finish (both on the right and on the left side) there are stiffeners. Inside, there are three special cavities in the store. The first of them (front, with it goes twisted spring) and the last (rear) limit the length of the store. One of the features of this device is the feeder involved in the design.

This part is also made by casting, it is quite complicated. In the alloy from which the feeder is made, more aluminum is felt than zinc. Top coated. It is very similar to chrome, but it's not necessary to say this unequivocally. It is possible that this is even a nickel coating.

Why did you need to cover the feeder with a layer of another metal? Experts agreed that the coating provides a smoother run of the part inside the store shaft. Friction and scuffing are reduced to practically the smallest value, which would be difficult to achieve without the use of a nickel plated coating.

The feeder itself enters the store tightly, which can not be overlooked. For this, in fact, and designed external projections and grooves, which were mentioned a little earlier. If you collect all this design, all these features, you can even say, the design of the store, then in the end we get a smooth run of the feeder inside the magazine shaft, the trajectory is strictly straightforward. At the front, the mechanism is pinched by a twisted spring.

The bottom of the store is another detail. It is easy to guess that it is also cast. From the bottom, it locks the spring, and the top of the store overlaps the top of the part. The mechanism itself serves as a kind of fixative. Interestingly, the lid was made of plastic.

Charge

Cartridges in the store must be inserted one at a time. If you take a good look, it is noticeable that the upper chuck in the structure will be located in relation to the plane at an acute angle. If you insert the equipped magazine into the handle of the gun, it is clearly noticeable that the upper cartridge with the chamber is on the same line.

Thanks to this, when the shutter sends a mirror, the ammunition gets into the chamber immediately, without any unnecessary collisions about any details of the structure. Another feature is the cartridge wrench. If there is only one cartridge in the store, you will not notice anything. But if there are several of them, you can see how the subsequent cartridges will deviate slightly in different directions.

In fact, when equipping the store, it's easy to see that the parts of the bullets in which the bullet is located will be strictly above each other. At the same time, the tail portions of the cartridges will diverge to the left and to the right in a staggered order. For what is it done? This feature allows you to save space in the store. Thus, the angle between the direction of the upper and lower chuck differs somewhat.
