**Appearance**
The gun is very very nice. This is my first ever Western Arms GBB.I give props to WA for making a really phat looking pistol. Though to me, it felt kind of light and the slide looked too plasticky if you know what I mean. But when the hi-cap mag is inserted, it gets hefty.
This Wilson Combat has a Streyr Voight lower frame made of metal, not the whole frame but most of the upper part of the lower frame is metal. The slide is ok looking, it has the "Wilson combat" trademarks imprinted and also the word "Classic" on one side of the slide.
What was also neat is that the rear sights are made from BO-Mar and is a licensed from the real one. Only thing that sucked is that the sights had no white dots or anything so targeting takes a while.
Another thing I noticed is that it came with an extra spring, a odd looking tool. I didn’t know what they were used for until I did some research. This Wilson combat hi-cap is modeled after a Race Gun. And that extra spring it included, is fits into the recoil rod acting like a spacer for the larger spring. And what it does is it keeps the slide from fully cycling back, so that means you cant really tell if you’re out of bullets. That’s the whole point of this race pistol, the comps have to count how many rounds have been fired. And that tool, you can easily swap springs from the front of the pistol, the spring pops out form the front and you can just take out that tiny spring out form there instead of just opening the whole pistol. Pretty neat.
**Performance**
Now on to the performance. I loaded the Hi-cap mag and inserted green gas, though using green gas can mess up your slide, I had no access to HFC134a so, yea green gas it is.
I warmed up the mag, chambered a round, and aimed at a pile of dirt so that I can spot where the bullets go.
Pulled the trigger,*BaYm* this thing was loud and the recoil, monstrous. It kicked me hand back farther than what my KJ USP TAC with its metal slide had. And when the bb hit that pile of dirt, the dirt just like flew up. I’ve done this with my M11and the dirt would just jump, with the Wilson, it flies! This meant to me that the FPS is crazy. I’ve tested it with soda pop cans, and it goes through both sides. Accuracy has to be adjusted with the rear sights, it took me awhile getting used to adjusting and all. Oh yeah and one thing about this pistol. This pistol is NON-HOPUP! Since this is a race pistol, there is no hop up. Sucks but it kind of add a little realism to the real steel.
**Over-ALL**
Over all, the gun looks great, wieght is kind of on the light side. Detail is just phat!
Performance, its really powerful and accurate with the sights adjusted correctly. I would get this gun as to collect, not for skirmishing cause since this is a NON-HOPUP piece, the bbs wont travel as far. If you upgrade it, it could probably be skirmishable. But it’s too pretty to skirmish with. I rate this 8 out of 10 cause the stupid hop-up.
Pros:
Detailed
Strong kick
High FPS
Accurate
Cons:
On the light side
Adjusting the sights could get hard to get used to
No HOP UP
And oh yeah, I also did a little customizations to the pistol to make it a little more durable.
If you see the pic of the red spacer where the recoil spring is at, that red thing is a recoil absorber, I set that there so that when the lower frame and slide comes in contact every time it blowsback, it could reduce its chance of the slide cracking.
And the pic where you see a shiny piece in the slides slide catch, I attached an aluminum reinforcement so that the slide catch won’t wear out like stock guns do. This prevents the slide catch from wearing due to the friction of the slide movement and the catch of the slide. I also did some Trademark jobs, you can see that now the trademarks are White and is easily viewed. Stock it was there ,but you had to look at the slide to see the trademarks.
