Gun Review: Kimber Super Carry Pro. Kimber’s Super Carry Pro is a compact (but definitely not a subcompact) 1. It’s got drop- dead good looks, exceptional accuracy, full magazine capacity and authoritative stopping power. I’ve been able to spend some time with the Super Carry Pro to see how well it lives up to its awesome looks and $1. Did I mention it’s pretty damned reliable, too?

CCW guns attempt, often unsuccessfully, to be all things to all shooters. Many of the features that make a gun easy to carry also make it difficult to shoot well, because every design choice confers an advantage to one characteristic and exacts a penalty from another. Searching for the Golden Mean of 1. Kimber followed conventional wisdom by choosing a shortened barrel and alloy frame. They also thought outside the box by rounding the 1.

Their result brings you the firepower of the Government Model, but in a package that’s lighter than the Officer’s Model and almost as compact. Its 4- inch barrel is at the smaller end of the 1. Officer’s Model and the 4.

Commander, but the full- length grip frame gives it the same 8+1 capacity as the mighty 5- inch Government Model. Ergonomics and Shooting Comfort.

As its name ‘Super Carry Pro’ would suggest, this gun isn’t a service pistol, a range toy or a race gun. It’s designed specifically for concealed carry, and it’s heavily customized for comfort and concealment. In fact, there’s really nothing about it that isn’t selected for its intended use.

It falls almost in the Goldilocks zone of carry guns: small enough to conceal under sensible clothing, yet big enough to pack a mean fistful of whoop- ass with 9 rounds of . ACP. The mid- length 4- inch barrel carries lighter and presents a little quicker than the full- size Government Model, and the rounded grip frame won’t print as clearly through your clothing or jab you in the ribs. The whole gun has gently melted edges for carry comfort and snag- free presentation, and the front strap and the slide cocking serrations have a unidirectional fish- scale texture that grips your hands but not your clothing.

All of the controls (except the sharply grooved trigger) are gently rounded at the edges to avoid scraping your skin or snagging your jacket liner. The controls snap to attention with smooth precision, requiring neither too little nor too much force to actuate. The magazine well is gently beveled for easier magazine insertion, and even a slight beveling helps to speed up reloads.

The supplied 8- round magazine drops free on command, and it has a nifty removable baseplate so you can completely disassemble it for cleaning. My old Chip Mc. Cormick ‘Shooting Star’ mags can’t do that, and they’re a bitch to clean. I’ll talk about the trigger later; suffice for now to say that it’s got a little too much takeup and the grooves are a little too sharp for my tastes.

I did a creditable job of fanning the trigger and swapping magazines, but not of keeping my rounds on target; compact alloy- framed . The slightly beveled magazine well really speeds up your reloads, though.

Recoil and muzzle flip were stiffer than I expected, given that the Super Carry Pro is only minimally lighter and shorter than the soft- shooting Taurus 2. G2 I reviewed earlier this year. It isn’t very helpful to compare alloy- framed single- stack apples to polymer- framed double- stack oranges, however. Polymer guns always seem to shoot softer than alloy- framed guns, and the chunky Taurus’ double- stack grip does a better job of spreading the recoil forces over the shooter’s hand. And besides, nobody would seriously think of concealing a full- size 2. Super Carry Pro. It’s what it was designed for. Two Issues. The otherwise- ubercomfortable Kimber has two ergonomic problems I’d make them fix if I were king: the trigger grooves are too sharp, and the right- side safety lever plate grinds into the bones of my thumb.

When I used an Isosceles stance and a ‘thumb high’ two- handed shooting grip (as currently taught by most shooting instructors) the left- side safety lever plate ground into the first knuckle on my right thumb and eventually beat it the color of a raw New York Strip steak. Accuracy and shooting enjoyment predictably suffered. When I fired the Kimber one- handed, or when I reverted to the old- school Modified Weaver stance and the ‘low thumb’ grip, this problem disappeared. If Kimber is listening, I’d suggest a slightly altering the safety lever plate so it’s more flush with the side of the beavertail grip safety.

The Isosceles stance and ‘thumb high’ grip didn’t exist 1. John Moses Browning made very few mistakes, but no 1. This is an example of how a century- old design doesn’t work well with modern training and technique, but a minor modification to a small part would eliminate this problem completely. My second ergonomic ‘issue’ is this adjustable trigger.

It’s a masterpiece of machining (even at high magnification) but it becomes a cheese grater after 1. Watch Ask The Dust Putlocker on this page. A gunsmith could smooth this off in a heartbeat when he tunes the trigger, but a $1. Carry Comfort. I wore the Super Carry Pro in a leather IWB holster to evaluate how it carries. The first thing I noticed was that it’s not a trouser- drooping boat anchor like a steel- framed Government Model. In fact, the fully loaded Kimber is slightly lighter than an empty Government Model, and you’ll notice the difference the instant you holster it. The Kimber’s reduced gravity suck makes it comfortable to carry right out of the gate, and the melted corners and rounded butt take its ride quality to the next level. The soft- edged safety switch and mag release won’t lacerate your kidney if you happen to carry under your shirt, and the rounded butt won’t jab you in the floating rib when you bend over or buckle your seatbelt.

Kimber’s got carry comfort nailed with the Super Carry Pro, but it’s still got a full- length grip and it will never hide like a J- frame. It’s not a J- Frame but it does conceal quite well, and as a bonus you don’t even need to own a Shoot- Me- First vest to do it! The rounded butt will print if you lean over too far, but it’s entirely possible to conceal the Super Carry Pro under a loose shirt.

This shirt was (deliberately) not quite loose enough, but it still kept the Kimber hidden all day. Unlike a square- butt 1. Kimber’s rounded grip frame is much less likely to grab the fabric of your cover garment and fold it against your side.
