Kimber Has Something Unexpected Coming 8/19

[V-Tach]

Wow..........a polymer striker fired sub compact in 9mm!!!!!!!

Wonder what original idea they will come up with next?

 

[Sam7sf]

Look at that...something not new.

 

[jtw2]

Actually kinda like it. Be interesting to see if you could find a rental. I seriously buy too many guns…

I'll rent you one. $500/hr. And you can bring your OWN ammo.

Maybe if it runs well

Three videos above all give it good marks...

They did treat the lock up and ejection port a little different.

Ya, I’m not getting it. What’s suppose to convince me to buy this over every other sub compact mode just like it?

As far as I'm concerned every one that followed Sig lost out by not being first... I have no intention to collect micro nines.

I think a double stack .380 micro is a pretty neat idea, but this time I will wait long enough for the Ruger followers to get to market before I choose...

 

[Sam7sf]

After seeing what the new gun is I’m going to buy a Zastava ak.

So Kimber makes a sub-compact pistol, and then sticks a big honking RDS on the back end of the slide.

Color me less than impressed. Even less since it's a Kimber.

Somewhere someone got off work from trading stocks, drove home in a bmw, popped open a white claw and is drooling over this kimber.

"Noo yawk"
Had a buddy up in Joyzy, he always corrected my pronunciation, trying to make me into a yank. Never happened. But some things sure stuck!

Kimber.....once again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.....

Somehow, I think it might actually been a Prius!

I have a couple predictions:

1.) Its going to be at least Glock 26 size - so fatter than a P365 or Shield Plus, maybe with the same dimensions of the S&W MP9 Compact gen 1 aka Sub Compact in 2.0 flavor
2.) Its going to be picky about ammo
3.) Its going to have an MSRP of $1499 or higher
4.) Every gun magazine in print is going to have gushing reviews of it for the next six months
5.) You won't even see the damn thing on store shelves until June of next year
6.) "Striker Drag" is going to be a thing, and Tim from Military Arms Channel is going have three broken examples in his collection by December of 2022
7. Next year, provided the gun is not a complete and total flop, they'll release an optics-ready version with a $250 price premium
8. If the gun doesn't flop after the optics version is released, they'll release a bunch of stupid special editions with different finishes, including rainbow titanium, Tiffany Blue, bead blasted stainless, and a high polish stainless.

Ok, what did I predict and get right, or close..

1.) Its gonna be Glock 26 size - it's *just* a hair smaller than the Glock 26 in width, but its pretty much the same in other dimensions. It's basically G26 size, with an 11 round mag, which Glock could have if they used metal mags vs plastic.Gonna say this is a yes.

2.) Its gonna be ammo picky - only watched a couple vids on it. I watched TFB's first. The right-hand-only ejection port seems like its going to be an issue, especially for lefties. MAC hasn't gotten this gun yet, so it remains to be seen for reals.Gonna call this a maybe / not enough info yet.

3.) MSRP of $1499 - okay this was wrong. $599 for the standard, $799 for the gun with the cheap Crimson Trace red dot. Color me surprised!

4-8 - too soon to tell!

Executives were probably chowing down on some of that New York chili too, while conceiving this nonsense.

New York chili sounds really, really sad and weak. New York pizza - good stuff. New York strip steak? One of my favorite cuts. But New York chili? Nah, pass.

You're not going to get good chili outside of Texas.

Just saying!
