Kimber Micro 9 Sylva 9mm Floral Engraved Gold Accent Pistol

The Micro 9 is Kimber's smallest 9mm, a slim single stack sized to ride in a pocket holster or an inside the waistband rig, and it has always been the model people dress up. The Sylva treatment takes that further with floral scroll engraving cut across the metal and gold accents worked into the pattern. The engraving wraps the pistol rather than sitting on one flat panel, so the design reads the same from either side and there is no plain surface where the pattern simply stops.

What you end up with is a carry sized handgun built as a presentation piece that still works as a firearm. It is chambered in 9mm, so it feeds the same ammunition as any other Micro 9 and a collector who wants to shoot it can. Engraved guns like this come out of a custom shop in small runs, which means the pistol on your shelf is unlikely to be matched by the next one that turns up. If you have been looking for a Kimber that reads as jewelry from across a room and as a defensive pistol in the hand, this is that gun.
