The Kimber 1911 Rapide Dawn is a full-size .45 ACP pistol built around a stainless steel 1911 platform. Its five-inch match-grade barrel features a durable TiN coating, while slide lightening cuts and stepped cocking serrations support fast, controlled manipulation. The Silver KimPro II finish with brush-polished flats gives the pistol a distinctive appearance. Kimber Stiplex front-strap stippling and gray and black RAPIDE-patterned G10 grips provide a secure hold. TruGlo TFX Pro Day Night sights deliver a bright aiming reference in changing light conditions, and the V-Cut aluminum trigger completes the performance-focused configuration.
