Kimber® has gained a solid reputation for manufacturing highly accurate M1911-style pistols, offered with a wide range of custom features direct from the factory. The full-sized Stainless II Semi-Auto Pistol is designed for field carry or personal defense with performance-enhancing features for enhanced accuracy and ultra-reliability. A match-grade barrel, fitted to the slide with a match-grade stainless steel bushing, produces incredibly consistent accuracy. A full-length, steel guide rod ensures reliability. A satin silver finished stainless steel slide and frame resist corrosion from carrying the pistol in a holster daily, or exposure to the elements.

Front and rear cocking serrations facilitate loading and clearing the weapon. An extended beavertail grip safety protects the hammer when carrying the weapon cocked and locked, while minimizing hammer-bite to the web of the shooter’s hand while firing. Smooth/checkered rosewood grip panels and a checkered main spring housing provide a solid, non-slip hold. An aluminum match-grade trigger is factory set to break clean and crisp for precise shot placement and enhance control during rapid fire. Low-profile sights interfere minimally when drawing or holstering the weapon, and the fiber optic front sight is easy to pick up in varied light conditions. The Kimber Stainless II Semi-Auto Pistol is a highly functional sidearm that is capable of delivering rapid, well-placed shots.
