Built around a true Carbon Fiber matrix-filled grip housing, the new Carbon Compact has been sculpted to deliver the most efficient ergonomics of any polymer handgun. This new Carbon Fiber matrix delivers a superior strength ratio that withstands over 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 prevalent in today’s shooters. Also, the R7 has a high undercut and flared magwell that is normally found as aftermarket accessories from custom shops.
The pistol is also fully ambidextrous, and these attributes combined with the industry-leading Kimber performance carry trigger deliver the best polymer striker-fired handgun available in its class. This new model also features a longer 3.9-inch barrel, 4 interchangeable backstraps, and comes with two magazines. A TFS model featuring a threaded barrel and direct mount Holosun 407K optic will also be available. The new Carbon Compact is built to exact tolerances found in the current highly reliable striker-fired pistols from Kimber. This latest addition highlights the continuing shift toward optic and light-bearing firearms demanded by today’s concealed carry owners.
“Mountie Mizer – Vice President of Sales for Kimber stated: This new Carbon Compact delivers on all the attributes that our consumers have been asking for and will make more people familiar with where Kimber is headed with our deeper offering of polymer striker variants which features the best triggers on the market.”
