By The Numbers - Kimber KDS9c

Accuracy
"I was able to get precise groups that were comparable to my Staccato C2. The sights being so difficult to adjust for windage knocks off half a point."
Reliability
"This would have been a clear 5/5, but a single malfunction on the last day of testing has to be mentioned. It may have not even been the gun's fault."
Customization
"An optics-ready slide will eventually allow for the mounting of optics. The lack of an accessory rail and a proprietary frame shape means holster options will likely be limited."
Ergonomics
"The gun feels very svelte and comfortable in the hand. I wish the checkering was more aggressive and the trigger undercut was bigger."
Value
"You are getting alot of gun for the money compared to its competitors. I would like to see the gun come with optics plates included and maybe one more mag."

final verdict

“This is an excellent shooter that offers a ton of performance for the money. A few minor tweaks to the platform would make this gun a true 5/5.” – Wyatt Sloan
