Product Features & Specifications

Kimber 1911 Rapide Dusk .45 ACP Pistol

The Kimber 1911 Rapide Dusk Pistol boasts a precision-crafted stainless steel slide, designed for unparalleled speed and performance. It features cutouts that reduce weight, enabling faster slide reciprocation, and a stainless-steel match-grade barrel with a gold titanium-nitride (TiN) coating.

This PVD application not only provides corrosion and abrasion resistance but also enhances the slide speed by reducing barrel-slide-bushing friction. The slide grooves are boldly geometric, adding to the pistol's sleek aesthetic and functional efficiency.

Running on its rails like grease on glass, the Kimber slide exhibits minimal movement, even when the barrel hood is pressed down with the pistol locked into battery.

The Kimber Stiplex TM front strap stippling grips are equally impressive, with gray-and-black G10 WavZ panels perfectly mated to an oversize beveled magwell. The Kimber Rapide Dusk's mainspring housing sits slightly proud of the rear frame, contributing to the grippy texture with its precise geometric machining. These grips not only ensure a secure hold but also complement the pistol's overall design.

Additional standout features include a skeletonized, lightweight aluminum V-Cut trigger and robust TRUGLO TFX Pro Day/Night sights. These sights are sealed airtight and feature contrasting fiber optics and a tritium orange ring in the front sight, allowing for rapid target acquisition in any lighting condition. The rear sight's generous U-notch, supported by fiber optics, ensures fast and precise aiming.

The flawlessly fitted magazine release functions smoothly, blending seamlessly with the back of the grip. The entire pistol, excluding the barrel, is finished in a flawless matte black KimPro II coating, highlighting Kimber's commitment to quality. The Rapide 1911 Dusk is built for speed, with superb fit and finish, making it a top-tier choice for those seeking a high-performance 1911 pistol.
