Kimber has released the Carbon Compact chambered in 9mm. It’s the latest addition to its striker-fired line of pistols. The Carbon Compact is a larger, feature-rich, striker-fired gun than its competitors. 

Built around a true Carbon Fiber Matrix filled grip housing, the Carbon Compact has been sculpted to deliver the most efficient ergonomics of any polymer handgun available today. This new Carbon Fiber matrix delivers a superior strength ratio that withstands over double the impact force of standard firearms. 

Plus, 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 pistol has a high undercut and flared mag well that is normally found as aftermarket accessories from custom shops.

The pistol is fully ambidextrous, and features a longer 3.9-inch barrel, four interchangeable backstraps and two magazines. A TFS model, featuring a threaded barrel and direct mount Holosun 407K optic, will also be available. The Carbon Compact is built to exact tolerances found in the current striker-fired pistols from Kimber. This latest addition highlights the continuing shift toward optic and light bearing firearms demanded by today’s concealed carry owner.

“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 feature thebest triggers on the market,” said Mountie Mizer, Kimber VP of sales. 

The Carbon Compact is shipping and is the third product line extension from Kimber in 2024 with more new introductions on deck in the coming months.
