Kirk1701mv got his hands on a discontinued Western Arms Colt Combat Commander Custom GBB Pistol which the he acquired second-hand. There is a bit of a mid-video identity crisis as he debates whether the piece was manufactured by Western Arms or MGC, eventually settling on it being a Western Arms customization of an MGC base. He points out specific features like the rubber grips and the Bo-Mar sights to support his theory, though he politely invites viewers to correct him in the comments if he’s just talking to himself.

Technically, the model gun stands out for its transition from side-firing to center-firing mechanisms, a change intended to make the simulated firing process more reliable. Kirk demonstrates the mechanical health of the gun by performing a manual loading and ejection test with dummy cartridges, which thankfully goes off without a hitch. He also takes a moment to weigh the piece and measure the trigger pull, noting that it feels surprisingly sturdy for a model made primarily of ABS plastic.

Throughout the review, he shares a nostalgic appreciation for the good old days of model gun manufacturing while nursing a slight seasonal cold. He admits to a failed past attempt at DIY detailing with an iPad—an experiment he quickly abandoned—and concludes that modern strikers just don't offer the same visual satisfaction as a classic hammer. Kirk wraps up with the gun neatly tucked back into a plastic bag, joining a large collection of other retired models stored on his bookshelf.
