Kimber Mfg. has released the new Carbon Compact chambered in 9mm.
The new Kimber Carbon Compact is a larger striker fired gun than its competitors. Built around a carbon-fiber-matrix-filled grip housing, the new Carbon Compact is claimed to be withstand double the impact force of standard firearms. The Carbon Fiber frame features a forward “gas pedal” or thumb rest for a thumb-forward shooting-grip style. Also, the R7 has a high undercut and flared magwell.
The pistol is also ambidextrous, with a performance carry trigger. This new model also features a longer 3.9-inch barrel, four interchangeable backstraps, and comes with two magazines. A TFS model featuring a threaded barrel and direct mount Holosun 407K optic will also be available. This latest addition also allows for optic and light bearing accessorization.
Mountie Mizer, vice president of sales for Kimber said, “This new Carbon Compact delivers on all the attributes that our consumers have been asking for. Our offerings of polymer striker variants feature the best triggers on the market.”
The new Carbon Compact is shipping now.
