I could be wrong but I dont think Kimber claims to be the ideal conceal /carry weapon. If you want a guy that has been proven on the streets and battle field then def go with a glock. Add to it the difference in weight and you gotta go with glock. Kimbers are nice to shoot and like I stated in an earlier post...you have to work with a gun smith to dial it in to your shooting style. Like I said I own 3 Glocks 19,26,31...and let me tell you the 31 shoots fire boys and the knock down with the .357sig round for it...bad ass
