Kimber Stainless Raptor II 1911 .45 ACP 5" Pistol

In the realm of firearms, excellence is not merely a goal—it is an expectation. The Kimber Stainless Raptor II .45 ACP stands as a testament to this philosophy, emerging from the esteemed Kimber Custom Shop with precision and prowess that command respect.

This particular piece, chambered in the venerable .45 ACP, boasts a full-size 5-inch barrel. Such dimensions ensure optimal balance between sight radius and maneuverability, making it suitable for both competitive shooting and home defense duties. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, every aspect of this pistol speaks to its exceptional heritage.

The Raptor line derives its name from distinctive slide and frame serrations—aggressive yet refined—that provide enhanced grip under any condition. Complementing these are feathered logo grips which not only add aesthetic appeal but also contribute to handling ergonomics through their special scaled texturing accents.

Performance remains uncompromised; indeed, it meets—and often exceeds—the high standards associated with Kimber craftsmanship. Standard features include night sights for low-light conditions and an ambidextrous thumb safety catering to all shooters' needs. A bumped and grooved grip safety ensures secure handling while reinforcing user confidence during operation.

At the heart of accuracy lies a match-grade barrel paired seamlessly with a precisely machined chamber and trigger system—all standard issues within this model series. For those seeking concealed carry options without sacrificing firepower or reliability, Ultra models offer compact solutions featuring 3-inch barrels housed within lightweight aluminum frames.

Whether crafted in steel or stainless steel variants depending on one's preference or intended application—from duty use to personal protection—the quality emanating from each Kimber Custom Shop creation rivals that of America’s foremost pistolsmiths.

To hold a Raptor is to understand what sets it apart: an amalgamation of innovative design coupled with unwavering performance integrity—a cure for the common pistol indeed.
