New Kimber KDS9C Rail: A Feature Packed Compact Double Stack 1911 First Shots 

Kimber’s reputation notwithstanding, this is one I would genuinely love to see if it holds up to the full 1000 (or however far it goes).

So I bought one. Had it 4 months and over 2k. Zero issues after break in. Absolutely love it.

Another vote for 1000rnd review. I’m a big Kimber fan and here’s why: I commanded a unit in Afghan for a year and we wanted to get a commemorative pistol. Kimber customer service was outstanding! They bent over backwards to produce what we wanted, beautiful engraving on a 1911 slide and grips, great price, shipped to FFLs literally all over the country. Ms Kosar is a gem in their custom gun shop. Colt hung up on us twice from overseas. Also own a TLE II, brother owns one, we love them, no issue. Semper Fi

This Kimber certainly give me budget WC vibes! Let's see it go 1000 rds...

I think Kimber found the sweet spot with this one. This definitely needs a 1000 round review.

Why are optic mounts so difficult for these huge gun companies? And fuck the plates too. Just give us an RMR/Rmsc footprint for direct mounting and good screws, without removing the rear sight.

Few years back, when I worked as a sales associate in a gunshop here in Puerto Rico, one of the most returned pistol for warranty was the Kimber. And of course the Taurus

Definitely have my vote for 1k rounds review

I’d like to see a comparison video of the following double stack hammer fired pistols. Dan Wesson DWX compact, Staccato CS, Wilson Combat EDC X9, CZ Shadow 2 compact. Keep up the great and honest reviews.

I can share a 500 round review-I have shot this gun for 500 rounds and experienced no malfunction of any kind. It is a great gun. It is light, very comfortable in my hands and very accurate. It is the best 1911 gun I have owned thus far. If you search for it you can find it for less price. I got mine for $1450, new in the box, never used.

I really appreciate it when you do thousand round reviews and torture test. It helps me decide on what new gun to get and try.

Only put about 300ish rounds through mine so far but absolutely perfect. Has been my edc since day one at the range. Hated the cost but must say absolutely worth it!

It's literally the only Kimber that fills me with want. So I'm glad they did a decent job of it.

Handled one at a PSA, felt incredible and super smooth. Was going for $1200 at the time… Very interested in a 1k review!!!

Must have filmed this on June 6th. We did have high winds yesterday. Good to see a Kimber that was a good starter on it. Thank you Chris!

I have a Kimber, had a few issues after break in. Took it back to the store I purchased it from and they sent it to Kimber and everything was fixed, runs great now and haven't had any issues since.

Looking forward to the 1000 round review. I saw this one in my LGS and was super impressed.

Great review, as always. Thanks for covering the Ambi features. Everyone always misses that.

Always a good day when Outlaw drops🔥🇺🇸

It looks like a mix of a CZ and a 1911, two amazing pistols! A double stack system and 1911 ergonomics/safety, It's a match made in heaven 🔥

Thanks for the first shots on this one. I would be interested in the 1000 round review. I've owned a couple of kimbers and have had good luck with mine.

Yes! Yes! Yes! 1,000 round review please. I have Wilson EDC X9, Staccato C2, and Staccato CS along with my Kimber KDS9C and I’m having a really hard time taking anything but the Kimber to the range with me. Your 1,000 round update would be very helpful.

It seems to be the popular thing to throw shade on Kimber. My Dad, my brother and myself all have Kimber 1911s. We’ve never had any problems with them. I’d say they are great guns. Let’s see that thousand round review and see how this new model stacks up. It sure is a good looking piece

I was looking at this gun last week. I was impressed. I vote for a 1000 round review

Great content as always! Definitely go for the 1000, and a compare to CS or SFX9 would be awesome.

I'm down to see a 1000+ round review of this thing. This might be the 2011 that bridges the gap between the Springfield Prodigy and the Staccato 2011 pistols.

Yes please 👍 more of this Kimber. Thks

I got my no rail one last year for 1100 from palmetto State armory. Rail version should cost 1500+. Absolutely love mine. Just can't wait for aftermarket parts

Shooting the lights out man. Nice job

Comparison to the SFX9 would be cool!

Considering this, 1000 rd review please, love you two

I would love to see a 1000 round review on it. I have the two tone version with a Holosun 407k-GR on it. Had the same issue with removing the plate. Had to tap a torx bit into the screw head with a hammer to get one of the screws out, the Allen head was starting to strip like you experienced.

I’m sold, was on the fence about buying this model but now I’m pretty certain I’ll be getting one. Thanks for the honest review

Yes to the 1k round review! I don't own one but I handle it daily at work (I work at an ffl) and it's by far the smoothest and nicest kimber imo. We don't have this version yet, but I literally just had a person ask me about this version yesterday and here drops the HO video on it.

The silhouette of this gun looks like one of the metal framed iwi Jericho's

My first kimber was this kds9c rail but in gray/black. First and last kimber for me. Failure to feed like 50% of the time, not what you expect after shelling out 1800 bucks. I will say that their customer service is top notch. Sent it in for work, got rid of it as soon as it came back.

Yes, 1,000 round review please!

Yes on the 1,000 rd review . Because I HOPE Kimber listened here , and they change the rear sight configuration . Other than that , this looks like a great gun, and one I am motivated to buy , IF . Your review goes good .

1000 round review!!! I'm finally interested in a Kimber. I've heard nothing but horror stories, so I've never wanted one before now.

Have two Kimbers and they have been excellent.

Yep. I’d love to see how it holds up! I’m intrigued

I have the Kimber KHX Ultra with similar features (3" barrel). Looks super sharp with the unique "honey comb" style cut outs on the slide. Actually, just broke it down and cleaned it earlier today! Zero complaints thus far, Houge laser grip is sweet, plus the fiber optic sights front and back are definitely nice. Simi🫵lar in size as a 43X for CC, but with the 1911 flare... Love my glocks, but this definitely kicks ass 🤘

I have a Kimber 1911 and I love that thing, however, it's only an 8 shot. I wish they made a DS 1911 full size, but I am interested in this one. Please do a full 1000 round review on this, could be my next EDC

I've seen these go for close to $1,600 where I live... Really nice overall! Every review I've seen on these have been really good. I personally would love to add the rail version to my collection.

Looking forward for the 1000 round review

Yes, I'd like to see you shoot this pistol on a less windy day. Nice looking piece of artillery. Thousand round review, Yes Please!

Let's see the 1000 rd vid love your takes on gun ty for being honest😊

It’s on my bucket list! Hope to have one , one day! Love the look! At half the price of a Wilson !

Kimber makes some nice stuff.. Got my wife the R7 mako per your review and she quit carrying her P365 for it

I have two Kibler's , and have good luck with them. This one is cool!

Nice would love to see a 1000 round review of the kimber ds 1911. And holeie shit you are fast with any gun brother you sir put some rounds down range wish i could afford to shoot as much as you do

I used to have a Kimber custom Gold Match 2, I liked it a lot.

Due to Kimber's questionable reputation I would like to see a 1,000 rd review.

Thanks for this review. Would love to see you run a thousand rounds through this Kimber!

I have the stainless. Instantly my favorite range gun. I like the fiber optic front and the trigger has a nice clean break. 👍👍

I would love to see another review on this pistol! It’s definitely on my wishlist!!

Yes do the 1000 round review. I’ve had one for about a year and while finicky with some ammunition (Remington mostly) it has been reasonably reliable if lubed.

My first 1911 was an older Kimber Pro TLE/RL in 45ACP it and it is a sweet gun. I love it so much that I got a Wilson Combat Professional. I've alwayd wanted a 1911 in 9mm. My buddy has this gun and after firing it I put my old Kimber on consignment to get one. I'd like to see something to go full 1000. My buddy's seem to have feed ramp issues. Granted some polishing might deal with it. I was getting some last round no hold open when I ran it. I asked about it and he stated he hadn't cleaned it. I chalked it up to not being in cleaned in well over 700+ rounds which I'd never do as a 1911 owner.

Love mine !

Yes. 1000 rd review. Thanks outlaws.

I’ve put about 800 round through mine so far so good. I stripped it down and lubed it up and polished the ramp. Love the gun.

Hi Chris, thanks for the time, effort, and money you put into your videos. I enjoy them. I personally would like to hear more of your thoughts on this firearm. This is a firearm that I have been considering, and trying to get as much information as possible before spending the dough. If you can’t, I sincerely appreciate the first shots video. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Im really considering purchasing this gun, I’d love to watch a thousand round review!

Definitely do a 1000 Rd review, I am really interested in buying one so I want to see what the long term durability is for this pistol. I own the Alpha Foxtrot S-15 1911 which is an amazing pistol very durable. I have 2800 Rds through it so far with no malfunctions.

Yes, please for 1,000 round review

Nice job even in the wind

Another great video champ.

Nice piece!

I bought one because it fits my hand and grip. Damn nice gun

Looks like Kimber has been spying on Wilson Combat 😁

1000 Round review 🔥🔥🔥

yes please do a 1,000 round review of this gun. I really like the looks and if it holds up well I very much would like to buy one

Would love to see a review of the new Bul Armory Tac 4.25" 2024 version.

Yes 1000 round review please

Kimber KdSc rail is 🔥🔥🔥

Definitely interested in a 1000rd review! Considering trialing a commander size 2011 for EDC rotation and with the going price for these on gunbroker right now being just over 1200, this is definitely getting some strong consideration. Thanks!

Please do a 1,000 Round Review. Outstanding Video!

I'd love to see a thousand round review for this gun. It's the best looking of all the 2011s

I would love to see a comparison to a staccato and a 1k round review. Also wish this was out when I got my own 2011.

I would like to see a 1000 round review, you said Kimber has a spotty Q/A record. I would like to see a full 1000 review to test that theory. Personally all of my Kimbers have run great.

I picked up one at the gun store, slide felt really rough, I know some oil would go a long way with helping that, but just felt cheap compared to the C2. I will stick with my Staccato for 3 to 4 hundo more. Thanks as always for your great videos and opinions.

Let’s get a 1000 round review. I like the looks of it

Would love to see a 1000 round review on this pistol!

Couldn't afford a Kimber if I wanted one, but I appreciate the video. It's good to know and I enjoy watching you and your wife shoot together. WISH my wife didn't HATE ( be scared of) firearms. Keep making great content brother. Appreciate you.

I would love to see a 1000rd review!!

Kick ass. I think the price is down quite a bit by now, Kimber makes solid guns! This is the one I've been waiting for! I used to carry 1911 but my eyes got old and I had to transition to an optic which at the time meant G19 MOS only. We've had more companies produce optics ready guns since then but thank gosh the 1911/2011 companies are catching on! I'm eager to acquire one but it'll be a few more months. There's nothing more accurate with a flash sight picture than a good 1911.

I'd like to see a 1000 rd review on this gun IF>>> the iron sight screws are repaired...and that subject is addressed properly by Kimber... I started shooting Kimbers while over seas in Al Quiam IRAQ supporting the Marines (I flew a targeting UAV) still have that .45acp shoots great.

I have finally spent and shot more ammo than I paid for my KDS9C. The gun is a great time and I carry it everyday. I've never seen grown men cry harder than anybody in comment sections under kimber vids. 😅

Definitely want to see a 1,000 round review.

Always enjoy your reviews. Loved the bee comment. I would love to see a 1000 round review. I was thinking about getting this or the original and decided to go with the Platypus.

1000 round review and more distance!

This seems like a good double stack 1911. I’d like to see the 1000 review and comparison to the Wilson Combat EDC X9

Full review would be nice.

1000 round review would be great!

Love to see a review on the Bul Armory 4.25 with the holes in the end of the barrel. It be nice. Thanks 😊

Looks amazing, hope the quality holds up and no malfunctions

I agree with Phil. It was a Colt . Man I thought I had the best. That was a Pile of-hit ! It was one of the model 70’s. I was so happy to get RID of that that pile of-hit!

So far I've owned 3 1911 Kimbers in 45, they have not gave me any issues so far. As to their mags I have had some issues here and there. Upgrading to some WC 1911 mags and hopefully should do the trick.

I have three Kimber's they are fantastic. I have never had an issue with any of them. Would love to see the 1K review. PS I dont think I would trust a 2011 under $1200.

1000 round review please. Also would love to see an optic on there if you can get the screw out.
