The aluminum frame is light enough for all-day carry while the stainless steel barrel handles heat and wear over extended range sessions.

White 3-dot sights give you a clear sight picture across a range of lighting conditions. 
 

Usage 

At 1.2 lbs this carries easily for EDC and stays comfortable through a full day. The 9mm chambering and 3.16-inch barrel suit defensive use well. It also works on the range and in competition, though shooters focused on high round counts may find the 7-round capacity something to plan around.

Discussion about the Kimber Evo SP Select is generally positive, with a few recurring practical concerns.

Build quality is the most consistent praise point. Owners describe it as solid and well-fitted, which is typical for Kimber's compact line. The grip geometry gets favorable mention, fitting naturally for a range of hand sizes. Accuracy at the range is generally well-regarded, and the compact size makes it a popular daily carry choice.

Price is the most common criticism. Some buyers feel the cost is high relative to competing compact 9mm options. Recoil is described as manageable but more noticeable than in full-size 9mm guns during fast strings, which a few shooters find worth noting. The 7-round capacity draws mixed reactions. Some accept it as a reasonable tradeoff for the compact profile, while others would prefer a higher-capacity option. Aftermarket holster availability for this specific model has also come up as a limitation for buyers who want purpose-fit carry options.
