Key Features
- Match-Grade Stainless Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: A 3.15-inch barrel machined to tight tolerances gives you the accuracy you expect from a Kimber, even in a compact package. It means more consistent shot placement when you need it most.
- Tritium Night Sights – WHY IT MATTERS: These glowing front and rear sights let you acquire your target in low light, like a late evening walk back from the skeet range or a dim hallway. No fumbling, no guesswork.
- Zebrawood Grips with Scale Pattern – WHY IT MATTERS: The textured zebrawood offers a secure hold without being abrasive on your hands, and the scale pattern adds a touch of old-school class that a southern gentleman appreciates.
- Ambidextrous Thumb Safety – WHY IT MATTERS: Whether you shoot left or right, this safety is easy to engage and disengage, giving you confidence during holster draw or reholstering. Simple control, no fuss.
Who It’s For
This pistol is for the southern shooter who carries daily and demands reliability in a small frame. It suits the bird hunter who wants a backup piece that does not print under a vest, or the gentleman who prefers a classic look with modern performance. If you value a firearm that feels like an extension of your hand, this is your sidearm.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Slim profile (0.9 inches wide) makes it easy to conceal. Tritium night sights are factory-installed. Zebrawood grips look sharp and feel solid. Ambidextrous safety suits all shooters. Kimber’s reputation for quality is backed by decades of craftsmanship.
- Cons: The magazine capacity is a modest 7+1 rounds, which is standard for a sub-compact but may feel limited for some. The aluminum frame is lightweight but may show wear over time compared to steel—something to consider if you plan heavy daily use.
