Kimber is introducing an all-new high capacity 1911 pistol, the 2K11. The new Kimber 2K11 debuts in standard and target configurations, and each model is chambered in 9mm as well as 45 ACP. The standard model comes with three magazines and one C&H optic-mounting plate for Trijicon RMR footprints. Three additional optic-mounting plates are available to support a variety of sighting preferences. The target models also come standard with three magazines and one C&H optic mounting plate, plus the target models feature a ported slide, adjustable rear target sight as well as a Kimber exclusive Stan Chen Customs competition magazine well.
Designed from end to end to incorporate elements many consumers have asked for, the 2K11 features an external extractor for increased reliability and durability and a type III hard anodized aluminum grip module. The 2K11 also has improved internal geometry that enhances the reliability of feeding the high-capacity magazines. Finally, the Kimber signature GT Trigger inside the 2K11 breaks at a consistent 3.5 pounds with a sharp wall, crisp break and performance that sets a new standard for production double-stack 1911 pistols. This, combined with the patent pending tool-less guide rod for ease of disassembly and cleaning are just some unique attributes which sets the Kimber 2K11 apart from the crowd.
Everett Deger, Director of Marketing and Communications stated: “We were determined to produce the very best high capacity 1911 and deliver a superior value. The 2K11 has several unique features that come standard that you have to have customized in the aftermarket to achieve what you get out of the box with Kimber.”
