Kimber announces a new handgun

[Maverick44]

$1500? Yeah, no. That's a lot for a carry gun that's just going to get beat up, and there are better options for a third of the price.

Exact same price as the Bul ultralight. Admittedly, 1k less than a CS and 1.5k less than the Wilson which is what it looks like they are going after with the design.

I guess Springfield targetted Staccato and Kimber Wilson given the designs.

Really surprised they went with a 4" barrel instead of 3.5" or something.

Oboy new Kimber bet it goes Bang bang jam rack jam bang. Nut looks real good.

I saw this and asked "who is this gun even intended for?" Its $1500, is kinda like a 1911, but not. Kinda like a CZ, but not. Kinda like a browning, but not. No rail, serrations everywhere for... grip?

Not going to lie I didn't mind my dad's Ultra Carry CDPII because it was so lightweight, and their revolver looks cool but Kimber doesn't have a good reputation for quality despite the high price. I commend them for making attempts other than a new polymer gun, but at the same time, there isn't any innovation in any of it.

”Kimber doesn't have a good reputation for quality despite the high price”. AMEN !

In my limited experience of one UCDP .45 and 3 Tauri, the Taurus is a lot better, for about half the price.
