The only think big from Kimber is the price tag.

The Micro9 sells far better than the regular micro or even the evo. Makes sense they would expand on its popularity

It's gotta be belt fed. Its the only thing that makes sense.

You're right. I'm just saying on the basis that some business manager gets in their head that 1.5 stack, striker-fired 9mms are "so hot right now" that they need to break into that market.
Now that'll get you real good at clearing stoppages.It's gotta be belt fed. Its the only thing that makes sense.

Kimbers have always had a reputation for running great... After a trip or 2 back to the factory.

Maybe a better warranty? One that lasts longer than a year?
Maybe they will announce they perfected their finishes and the coatings will last as long as other manufacturers?

Maybe they are going to move into the polymer striker fired market,I'm sure they could mass produce an expensive plastic gun with a high failure rate too.

Kimber teams up with HERMES Purse maker and seals the deal with CROCODILE Grips for the low cost of $203,000 and change USD

For the win. Not exactly a 1.5 stack Evo, but a striker-fired 1.5 stack.
Mine has never jammed.

Well that’s underwhelming. Looks just like a P365/hellcat. I was hoping for something like a double stack / 1.5 stack micro 9 that is hammer fired.

Agree it’s not even nice looking. Kind of weird for their product line but makes sense too right? The 1911 market is slim but the striker fired market is banging right now. Why not get into both but if you’re breaking into the plastic striker fired market at this point it better wow me.

I’m not sure I see how Kimber can wow with a plastic striker fired 11-12 round capacity carry gun. Even if it’s metal framed like the evo. With so many choices, hellcat, P365, shield plus, max9 and G43X in the $400-$600 price range, what would be compelling enough to make me go with Kimber? A 1.5 stack/ double stack micro 9 would have caught my attention.

I agree. That was my point. I’m sure the price point will be higher than the guns you mentioned. I guess we will see in a few days.
Also the other thing is then what’s available in the parts/customization department.
