This time we will be looking at the latest variation added to one of KSC's main models, the M93R.
The first Combat Courier, released a while ago, was an all-black model, but this second one is based on the previous model and comes in a different color scheme, the "Frame DE Color."
The coloring of the frame is apparently a heat-treated paint job, so it will likely be a Cerakote or similar paint job. KSC has been releasing limited edition models with special paint variations for a while now.
Compared to the previous all-black model, this model with a painted frame is priced 3,000 yen higher. Heat treatment paint means that each piece needs to be painted and then dried in a drying oven, and since the oven space is limited, it is impossible to work on a large number of them at the same time. This means that if you want to make a certain number of them, it will inevitably take a considerable amount of time.
Considering that you also need to consider the cost of paint, the additional 3,000 yen is probably quite reasonable.
The two-tone model also looks much more toned and gives off a more manly impression.
So, as I was writing this, a thought occurred to me. What does the name "Combat Courier" mean?
No, no, of course I know what combat is, right? It's a word that means something like "fight," right? (Though I don't know the exact meaning)
Or maybe it's the American TV drama "Combat!", famous for Sergeant Sanders played by Vic Morrow. Basically, that's the image you're referring to, right? Well, I guess I get it! (A bit forceful)
Oh, if you don't know who Sergeant Sanders is, try googling him right now. He's the man who made Thompson model guns the object of desire for young men in Japan. There are tons of blog posts written by great predecessors, so take a look at them to get a general idea of who he is.
So, the combat issue is somehow resolved, but the problem that follows is the "courier" issue.
Courier. I've heard the sound. After careful research, I discovered that it's likely spelled "courier." It sounds vaguely French. At the very least, it's of European origin.
Well, I didn't know anything more than that, so I simply googled it, and the first thing that came up was "courier = delivery service."
In other words, the combat courier is "Thompson Courier" so it's called QED. Yes, I think there is. It sounds like a very fun courier service.
However, in reality, things don't always go as expected, and it seems that the word "courier" also has a nuance similar to "delivery person." So, it seems that the correct meaning would be something like "fighting delivery person."
In other words.
Couriers who carry items that could put them in dangerous situations and, in the worst case, even involve combat, would naturally be expected to disguise their appearance to make them look like ordinary people so that others around them wouldn't immediately recognize them, and I think the name was chosen to give the impression that it is a special weapon that such people would carry.
In other words, the Combat Courier is a handgun that can fire fully automatically, is as small as possible, and is highly concealable and responsive, so only special people can own it.
Yes, that must be it. I feel so much better now.
So, KSC's latest limited edition model is a special model like the one above, with a newly elaborated two-tone color.
So that's all from the scene.
