Product Features & Specifications

Kimber 1911 Rapide Dusk .45 ACP Pistol

The Kimber 1911 Rapide Dusk Pistol features a meticulously engineered stainless steel slide, optimized for exceptional speed and performance. Its design incorporates cutouts that minimize weight, facilitating quicker slide movement, along with a stainless-steel match-grade barrel coated in gold titanium-nitride (TiN).

This PVD coating not only enhances resistance to corrosion and wear but also improves slide speed by decreasing friction between the barrel and slide bushing. The slide’s geometric grooves contribute to both the pistol’s streamlined appearance and its operational efficiency.

The Kimber slide operates with remarkable smoothness, exhibiting minimal play even when the barrel hood is depressed while the pistol is in battery.

The Kimber Stiplex TM front strap stippling grips are noteworthy, featuring gray-and-black G10 WavZ panels that align perfectly with an oversized beveled magwell. The mainspring housing of the Kimber Rapide Dusk is slightly elevated above the rear frame, enhancing grip texture through its precise geometric design. These grips not only provide a secure hold but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the firearm.

Additional notable features include a skeletonized, lightweight aluminum V-Cut trigger and durable TRUGLO TFX Pro Day/Night sights. These sights are hermetically sealed and incorporate contrasting fiber optics along with a tritium orange ring in the front sight, enabling swift target acquisition in various lighting conditions. The rear sight’s generous U-notch, complemented by fiber optics, ensures rapid and accurate aiming.

The magazine release is flawlessly integrated, functioning smoothly and seamlessly with the grip’s rear. The entire pistol, apart from the barrel, is coated in a pristine matte black KimPro II finish, underscoring Kimber’s dedication to quality. The Rapide 1911 Dusk is engineered for speed, featuring exceptional fit and finish, making it an outstanding option for those in pursuit of a high-performance 1911 pistol.
