Kimber

The RAPIDE (DN,NS). A truly unique 1911 with stepped cocking serrations, slide lightening cuts for faster lock time and TiN coated barrel for extreme durability. Equipped with Kimber Stiplex front strap stippling and the new G10 WavZ TM grips for extra griping confidence.

Kimber builds the world's finest 1911 pistols right here in America—something that makes sense, as few things are as American as a 1911 .45 ACP. Virtually every critical component of every pistol is manufactured inside the Kimber factory. The finest raw materials come through the front gate and Kimber does the rest, the only way to ensure that every part meets unequaled standards.

America's best shooters keep choosing Kimber. Legendary LAPD™ SWAT tested five major 1911 brands and chose Kimber. United States Marines assigned to Special Operations Command chose Kimber. The U.S.A. Shooting Rapid Fire Pistol Team trains for Olympic competition with a Kimber. Most recently, LAPD™ SIS transitioned to Kimber. They all chose Kimber for the same reason: quality, dependability and accuracy.

Quality is the true measure of value. On the strength of quality, Kimber has become the world's largest producer of 1911 pistols. Compare a Kimber with any other brand of 1911—or any other type of semi-automatic pistol—and see for yourself why Kimber is what all guns should be.
