Saw this on Ebay, an old American Rifleman ad for a .30 Carbine Kimball pistol. The grips are reminiscent of a 1911, the frame vaguely looks like a Luger or Nambu. Coming in 1956, not long after the war, perhaps they thought it would attract vets, especially chambered in the Carbine cartridge. It was also available in .22 Hornet, .38Spl., and .357Mag, all for $215.
I've never heard of this gun before, curious if anybody had any info on it. If it was a well made, well functioning gun at a decent price, you'd think it would have taken off. On the other hand, it may have been none of those things. Seems like a lot of money for the time. Anybody know anything about it?
