Best-Cast Gun in Movie History? Ballerina's Glock 17

About this video

Colion analyzes the Glock 17 featured in the movie Ballerina, describing it as a Taran Tactical Combat Master package customized specifically for the film. He breaks down the pistol’s design elements—from the rosé bronze finish and compensator to the Timney trigger and Trijicon optic—arguing that the gun’s balance of elegance and lethality perfectly mirrors the character played by Ana de Armas. Colion emphasizes that this firearm functions as a character in its own right, embodying the film’s theme of grace paired with violence.
