In the world of firearms, few designs command as much respect and admiration as the 1911. Kimber's RAPIDE (Dusk) takes this iconic platform to new heights with a blend of modern aesthetics and practical enhancements that will appeal to both enthusiasts and professionals alike.
This particular model is chambered in 9mm, offering manageable recoil without sacrificing stopping power, making it an ideal choice for those who value precision alongside performance. The RAPIDE Dusk features stepped cocking serrations on its slide, ensuring a secure grip during operation while also facilitating faster slide lock-up—a critical feature for any serious shooter.
The barrel is coated with Titanium Copper Nitride (TiCN), providing extreme durability against wear and corrosion. This coating not only enhances longevity but also ensures consistent accuracy over time. Complementing these mechanical refinements are lightening cuts on the slide which reduce weight, further improving handling dynamics.
For enhanced control during firing, Kimber has equipped this model with their Stiplex™ stippling on the front strap along with Gray/Black G10 Rapide patterned grips. These design elements offer superior gripping confidence even under adverse conditions or prolonged use.
Aesthetically speaking, the Kimpro Gray finish combined with brush-polished flats provides a striking appearance that doesn't just look good—it's built to withstand rigorous use while maintaining its visual appeal.
With a capacity of 9+1 rounds in its standard configuration and a five-inch barrel length optimizing balance between portability and sight radius, the RAPIDE Dusk stands ready as an exemplary representation of what a modernized classic should be.
