(empty), Kimber’s EVO SP Custom Shop pistol boasts features tailored for personal protection and deep concealment. A Kimpro II Charcoal Gray finish covers the aluminum frame while the stainless steel slide features a treatment rendering it in a black finish designed to withstand the rigors of hard use.
