Kimber Rapide DN/NS 45ACP 5" TiN Gold Coated Barrel 8+1

Kimber builds the world's finest 1911 pistols right here in America—something that makes sense, as few things are as American as a 1911 .45 ACP. Virtually every critical component of every pistol is manufactured inside the Kimber factory. The finest raw materials come through the front gate and Kimber does the rest, the only way to ensure that every part meets unequaled standards.

America's best shooters keep choosing Kimber. Legendary LAPD™ SWAT tested five major 1911 brands and chose Kimber. United States Marines assigned to Special Operations Command chose Kimber. The U.S.A. Shooting Rapid Fire Pistol Team trains for Olympic competition with a Kimber. Most recently, LAPD™ SIS transitioned to Kimber. They all chose Kimber for the same reason: quality, dependability and accuracy. So should you.

Heart Racing, Jaw Dropping, Hard Hitting

If their looks alone have that effect on you, wait until you get your hands on one. We designed every aspect of our Rapide 1911s for accuracy, shootability and appearance, giving each model a personality all its own and performance to match.
