Like many, I've been searching for that ideal single stack concealable 9mm. I have carried both the Kahr PM9 and the Glock 43 and have liked them both OK.

But lately, I've been carrying a Kimber Evo. I really like it. It has the simplicity of the striker-fired Kahr and Glock, but offers a little more heft. Which for me is not a bad thing in a small 9mm. Also, the grip and trigger position are better for my large hands.

Carried in an OWB Garrett Silent thunder holster, I can wear it all day and forget it is there.


Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.
