The hottest trend in firearms over the past four years is the sub-compact semi-auto, and Kimber’s R7 Mako has jumped squarely into the frenzy. This trend really got started when Sig Sauer’s P365 launched, with its sub-4-inch barrel, 4-inch height, 6-inch length and double-stack 9mm capacities. Several companies have followed with their own micro … Read more
Kimber just dropped a new version of their high cap, single action 9mm KDS9c, the appropriately named KDS9c Rail. If you like the 1911 but want a lightweight, modern carry version then the KDS9c Rail is it. In addition to the new light/laser rail it also comes with Truglo night sights and is optics … Read more
Anyone who knows Kimber knows it as a 1911 company. A company making metal-framed, hammer-fired, single-stack, 1911-format handguns and positioning themselves securely at the higher end of the non-custom market.

Kimber has announced a recall of certain factory-installed-optics versions of their Aegis and KHX handguns and an installation plate compatible with both models. The problem: the optics could fall off. Not all pistols or plates in the two lines are affected by the Kimber recalls, so TTAG readers should consult the affected ship dates … Read more
Kimber is a company best known for its 1911-format pistols, both large and small. So when I heard they were dipping their toe [back] into the striker-fired sub-compact world, I admit to having some reservations. After all, the Kimber Solo didn’t exactly earn a good reputation, going from shiny new object of affection to discredited, unreliable … Read more
Yes, it’s a Kimber Custom II. This one belongs to a college student who says he carries it because he has a “deep respect for classic pieces that incorporate leather, wood, and steel.” You just don’t see 1911s carried as frequently anymore.
