Why have Turkish Zigana pistols become the "crush" of gangsters?, This is what recently attacked Disha Patani's home

Taking major action against the shooters who opened fire at Bollywood actor Disha Patani's Bareilly home, the UP Special Task Force (STF) has killed two of the four shooters in Ghaziabad. The slain criminals have been identified as Ravindra and Arun. Police are still searching for the other two shooters, Nakul and Vijay. From mainstream media to social media, this encounter in Ghaziabad has generated widespread discussion, from small to large. What has surprised people is the weapons recovered by the UP police after the encounter.

What were the weapons? How lethal are they? To answer these questions, we need to step back a bit and recall the events leading up to the murder of Punjabi pop singer Sidhu Moosewala. The moment when gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf were killed in a crowded court complex. Or when Maharashtra NCP leader Baba Siddiqui was killed in broad daylight.

After reading this, you might be wondering what the connection is between the firing at Disha's house and these murders. Since we mentioned weapons at the beginning, it's important to mention that the murder weapon in all three cases, the firing at Disha's house and the murder, was the same: a Turkish-made Zigana pistol.

Learn about this pistol

Keep in mind that Zigana is commonly heard as the name of a brand line of Turkish-made small handguns. These manufacturers produce small to medium-sized semi-automatic pistols. These models are generally compact, pocket-friendly, and easy to carry.

Why do gangsters love this gun?

It's worth noting that the Zigana pistol has become a hot topic in the criminal world in recent years. The specialty of this pistol is that it is a 9mm high-capacity gun. It holds 15 to 17 rounds and, due to its lightweight nature, is easily concealed.

Some models of the Zigana come in smaller calibers, with manageable recoil and are considered effective at short ranges. Their small size makes them ideal for pocket-defense weapons.
