This gun has a full size frame but only a 3.3" barrel. Works perfect for me. I personally dislike Kimber as a carry weapon, because I feel the tolerances are too tight and because of this, they occasionally stovepipe. Not often, but enough that I have lost confidence in it as a self defense weapon versus a target or competition gun.

Stovepipe issue is well documented with Kimber - especially when not used a ton. Many people still feel confident with the gun, and that is fine - not criticizing your choice, just saying why it isn't for me.

N thats the first ive heard of stovepipe issue on kimbers. Ive heard the ftf but thats usually mag related and not really an issue with the factory mags anymore since they started including the kimpro mags. (I use wilson combat anyway) If its prevalent in guns that are rarely shot. I wonder if it is more limp wristing than the guns tight tolerances. Otherwise id imagine other guns such as les bauer and dan wesson would have the same issues given theyre hand fitted Also no offense taken thats a valid reason to be skeptical. However just stating mine has had no issues haha

Question: Do you guys carry all the time? Like is it second nature as would grabbing your wallet or phone would be? I think I'd feel a bit weird carrying to go grab some wings or something. And I do understand that anything can happen, anywhere, but just curious as to when a situation would warrant a no carry day.

Things they do don't make logical sense... So we carry... for a variety of reasons... One of the most popular reasons - an added level of self defense of yourself or others in response to perceived threats or actions of irrational persons. BUT - - - IMHO - - - Not carrying when you have the ability and equipment to.... is the same exact thing as sending your fire extinguisher out of the house down the street to your neighbor's house, and shut off your water when you decide you want to bar-b-que in your back yard.... (even if only to fire it up a short time to roast some weiners). I believe anyone comfortable carrying, and with the ability and equipment... should carry... at ALL times when it is legal to do so. (IF you're not comfortable carrying... that's a whole different conversation!) If we knew WHEN trouble was going to strike... well... we wouldn't need to worry about much of anything. YMMV |

I have recently returned to Nashville after fifteen years in the Atlanta area and the a small town an hour east of Atlanta. I was surprised to hear that you can have a firearm in your car because they consider your vehicle to be an extension of your home. I've only owned pistols for two years on account of some neighborhood activity back in Georgia and don't feel the need to carry. But crime in the small town I lived in for five years is minuscule compared to Nashville. Current events tells me that this may change and you've got to be prepared for just about anything.

And again, that's how firearms get into the hands of criminals. No matter how rare, it happens. Guns stolen from cars (whether locked up or not, rare or not), is a big way for criminals to get firearms.

You know where else they can get guns anywhere they commit a crime to get it. I'm not responsible to change criminals behavior. Banks shouldn't have money because that's how it gets stolen in the first place, blame the victim of a crime.
