I specifically wanted the 4 inch barrel and shorter grip of the compact model. This is a beautiful gun.
It’s fun to shoot too! It shoots so well it makes a newby like me feel like I can shoot (not really). I’ve sent thousands of rounds down range as long as it is brass cased ammo. This thing hates aluminum cased ammunition, it will eventually jam.
Bought this to ‘carry’ but it’s really to big to carry normally. This is a winter gun where it can be hid under a lot of clothing. I like the N82 holster for this gun, its very comfortable.
One issue so far, the ambidextrous safety snapped in half during one range session. I noticed that the safety material looked like a cheap investment casting, disappointing…
The good part, Kimber took care of it quickly and without hassel.
