The Raptor II is a full size 1911 with a 5-inch match grade stainless steel barrel, chamber and barrel bushing. The steel slide and frame carry a high-polish finish on the flats with matte over the curves. Fixed three dot (green) Meprolight night sights, ambidextrous thumb safety and Premium Aluminum Trigger are included. The unique look of the Raptor is created by machining both front and rear slide serration areas and front strap in a deep lizard-scale pattern. The slide is profiled with a flat top and then back cut with a single feathered row of large scales that prevent unwanted reflection. Unique zebra wood logo grips are fully finished with a deep, scaled pattern, complimenting the look and theme.

Kimber's Eclipse Custom II .45 ACP

The firearms industry Handgun of the Year!

The Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence is a pretty exclusive gun club. Firearm manufacturers, gun magazine writers and editors and some very influential retailers make up the membership of about 400 people. Every year they vote on the best new products, and for 2002 the Academy named the Kimber Eclipse II as their Handgun of the Year.

Kimber uses the best materials as the foundation of every pistol, and Eclipse slides and frames are made from stainless steel. After final machining they are finished in durable matte black oxide, then all flat surfaces are brush-polished. This leaves inset and curved surfaces matte black and gives each pistol the dynamic finish that lends them their name. To further compliment the look they are fitted with black small parts and a set of gray/black laminated grips checkered in the classic double diamond pattern.

Some might think they look too good to take to the range or put in a holster, but Eclipse pistols are built to carry and shoot. Beyond all the match grade features found on every Kimber, each Eclipse has a 30 LPI checkered front strap for a more secure grip, a Premium Aluminum Trigger and Meprolight Tritium night sights – all from the Custom Shop.

Two Eclipse pistols also have features that make them stand out in the Kimber line. The Eclipse Ultra II is the only Kimber with a 3-inch barrel built on a stainless steel frame. All other 3-inch pistols have aluminum or polymer frames, and the extra weight reduces felt recoil. The Eclipse Pro Target II is the only 4-inch Kimber fitted with an adjustable rear sight.

The shooting industry has joined the USA Shooting Team, LAPD™ SWAT and Tacoma PD by choosing Kimber pistols. Kimber quality continues to eclipse the competition.

The finest pistol you can carry.

Sometimes the essence of a product is captured in its name. CDP (Custom Defense Package) pistols from the Kimber Custom Shop are the finest carry pistols available today. They chamber the power of the .45 ACP and are fitted with custom features that make them an exceptional value.

CDPs are some of the most successful pistols Kimber has ever produced, and certainly the most copied. Others have dressed up a basic 1911 to look like a CDP, suggesting it is as good as a Kimber but sells for a lower price. They may be able to copy the look but no company can match Kimber quality and performance. There is also a certain irony in the suggestion that you should trust your life to the low bidder.

Each CDP has 30 lines-per-inch checkering on the front strap as well as under the trigger guard for a positive grip under any conditions. A match grade Premium Aluminum Trigger is consistent from shot to shot. Stainless steel small parts like the slide release, magazine release, beavertail grip safety and hand-checkered double diamond rosewood grips compliment the two-tone matte finish.

CDP pistols are available in four different sizes, each having important advantages. Both the Custom and Pro versions have full length grips while the Compact and the Ultra have the shorter Officer’s grip. Different barrel lengths give a full range of options and the short barrel models are easier to conceal. In fact, the Ultra CDP II is the smallest, lightest 1911 pistol on the market. Weights vary between 25 and 31 ounces and even short grip models carry 7 round magazines.

The 1911 is proven to be the most dependable semi-automatic platform for a carry pistol, and Kimber makes the best 1911. Don’t trust your life to anything less than the best.

The Kimber Pro Carry II .45 ACP

Powerful. Dependable. Safe. The best pistols for carry.

The Tacoma, Washington Police Department recently completed a testing program to determine what pistol their officers would carry. The test involved nine brands, 39 models and three calibers of semi-automatic pistols. Kimber won, and officers now have the option of selecting a Kimber Pro Carry II or Pro Carry HD II for duty.

The test results are staggering. Other than Kimber, pistols had a failure rate as high as 22%. Kimber had the lowest failure rate Tacoma PD has recorded in over 20 years of testing for any type of firearm – less than one half of one percent! They also determined that the Kimber was safer than other test pistols when the safety was in the “on” position.

Compact and Pro Carry pistols are similar to Custom models. Their 4-inch bushingless bull barrel makes them easier to conceal and reduces weight. Keeping barrel weight forward also reduces recoil, allowing faster recovery from shot to shot. Each one has dovetail-mounted low profile fixed sights with rounded edges to prevent snagging, and some models have Meprolight Tritium three dot (green) night sights.

The Compact Stainless II features a stainless steel slide and frame. The frame itself is .400 inch shorter than the full length Pro Carry but still holds 7 rounds. Pro Carry models are available with either stainless steel or aluminum frames. Kimber aluminum frames are machined from solid blocks of 7075-T7, the hardest and strongest available. Moreover, these frames are run on the same machines and hold the same tight tolerances as steel frames. Tested to 20,000 rounds with no meaningful wear, the weight savings they offer does not come at a compromise.

The Kimber Custom TLE/RL II .45ACP.

Number one with a big bullet.

The new Stainless TLE II (Tactical Law Enforcement) and Custom TLE/RL II are based on the Kimber Custom TLE II carried by LAPD SWAT and include Meprolight Tritium three dot (green) night sights and 30 LPI front strap checkering. The Stainless TLE II differs only in that both frame and slide are machined from stainless steel, and the Custom TLE/RL II is identical but includes and integrated tactical rail. Compare a Kimber Custom II with any other brand of 1911 or any other type of semi-auto pistol. See for yourself why Kimber is number one.
