    Kimber KDS9c - what the DW DWX Compact should have been

    Why DW didn’t do this with the DWXc is beyond me. Handled one this morning. I really liked it.

    Oooh. I really like that!

    Anyone not making optic ready guns in 2023 is behind the curve.

    Optics ready, but no option for a weapon light.
    And remember when demons and beasts cast their darkness, you have God's love - and Browning's wrath - to guide you.

    I like a lot of what I see here, and am tempted by it.

    I would prefer a functioning grip safety on a 1911 style gun. The light rail is less important to me, but I am surprised not to see it.

    Making the trigger guard fit standard 1911 holsters would also be helpful.

    Feel that optic is almost a necessity not well optional for carry

    Kimbers are… well… depends on what you consider “good”. I bought a recent one in 10mm and I’m very happy with it but will need to re-time the firing pin safety that I really wish wasn’t there. Time will tell on barrel bump and general wear/function but overall I really like it. Very minimal shooting with it (34 rounds) but that along with 10-8 feed tests and some extractor live-fire tests in those 34 rounds are very promising.

    Unfortunately it’s a couple thousand miles away right now and it’ll be six weeks until I see it again… and a bit longer until I can do some more shooting with it. Plus I want to work on it before I shout it more.

    I don’t know about this double stack model other than the release info, but I like the idea and it’s on the radar. I like the lack of grip safety, and a WML option would be nice for those that want it, but for CCW I like the non-light option.
