KSC "AT84 Snub Head Heavy Weight" Limited Edition

on December 10, 2021

KSC Type 54X Comp Heavyweight

KSC has announced a limited production run of the "AT84 Snub Head Heavyweight Gas Blowback." The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 29,800 yen (excluding tax). The release date is late December.

This limited production model is a special model based on the " Cz75 Second HW ," which will be re-released on December 14th, and has been given an impressive makeover with a shortened slide .

The AT84 is a Cz75 clone that was once manufactured by a Swiss manufacturer called ITM , which appears to have gone out of business (according to Wikipedia).

The slide and frame are stamped with AT84, which alone gives it a very different feel, but this model has an even shorter slide and the sides of the barrel have been cut to reduce weight, making it a unique design.

More detailed images have yet to be released, but based on the images provided by the manufacturer, it appears that only the sides are cut, or that the barrel is cut in a hexagonal pattern. Either way, the appearance of the barrel peeking out when the slide retracts looks very cool .

Furthermore, it has a threaded barrel with a 14mm reverse thread at the tip. I like how well-balanced it looks. It would also look good with a short suppressor.

Other features include a long slide stop and a wooden grip with a branded design. The grip design is a bit flashy and may be a matter of personal taste, but if you don't like it, you can always change it for something else.

There's one thing I personally think is a bit of a special touch: the new cut shape at the bottom front of the frame . Not only has the slide been shortened, but the shape of the frame has also been designed to match the appearance. This smooth cut is great.

The first thing you notice is the pattern on the grip, so it may look a little flashy at first glance, but if you look closely, you'll see that it's a pretty cool custom. Last month's "Type 54 X Comp" was also a great piece, and I recommend this one as well.

~An unnecessary remark~

↓AT84 real gun video

I came across this while researching guns, so please take a look if you're interested.

In the video above, it is said that " There are only two or three of these guns in the US , so I am very lucky to have been able to get my hands on one. It has great specifications that are very similar to the pre-B ." Although I am not at all familiar with the situation, I can infer from the context that what they are saying is, "I've managed to get my hands on a pre-B-like Cz75 clone, which I'm sure is on every enthusiast's wish list but is completely out of reach ! Wow, it's beautiful and smooth, and definitely a great gun."

So, what is pre-B? Actually, the Cz75s available today are the third-generation (3rd) model , called the " Cz75B." Pre-B refers to the pre-B, meaning 1st and 2nd . Roughly speaking, it has a spur hammer, round trigger guard, and fixed front sight, but mechanically it does not have a firing pin block. Apparently, this configuration is very popular among shooters .

I had no idea.

Even after watching the video, I just thought, "Oh, it's just a regular Cz, isn't it?" I was like, "This guy seems really excited, but what is he so grateful for?" That's right, I only know KSC (and Marushin) Cz75s, and they're all 1st or 2nd generation. In other words, I only knew the rare pre-B models that make people overseas cry tears of joy. The world of guns is deep. I learned something new.

~End of unnecessary remarks~

So this is KSC's latest limited edition model. It was only released last month, so their cycle has been pretty fast lately. It makes me very happy, not just as a shop, but as a toy gun fan, to see them working so hard to create new models. I think we need to do our best to make this a success!

Given the timing, this will be KSC's last model of the year. It's a gun I would definitely recommend to close out 2021.
