Pistols

Kimber makes the best 1911. Others make comparisons.

If you ever need to protect yourself or your family there is no better pistol to have in your hand than a Kimber 1911. Safe, powerful, accurate and fast - 1911 pistols point naturally and their absolute dependability has been proven through generations of uninterrupted use.

Unequaled quality and dependability made Kimber number one. Others make claims, copy and compare - even want you to believe they make pistols in America. Let them take their best shot at number one. Just make sure you take your best shot with a Kimber.	Kimber 1911 pistols are topped with premium fixed, adjustable or night sights securely mounted in machined dovetails.
	Custom features like high ride beavertail grip safety, extended thumb safety and Commander-style hammer are part of every Kimber.

Kimber builds the finest 1911 pistols in the world. A bold statement, maybe, but backed by the actions of the best law enforcement units, military forces and competition shooters. Legendary LAPD™ SWAT tested five major 1911 brands and chose Kimber. United States Marines assigned to Special Operations Command carry Kimber. The U.S.A. Shooting Team trains for rapid fire Olympic competition with Kimber.

On the strength of unequaled quality, Kimber sells more pistols into the growing 1911 market than any other manufacturer. Predictably, every year another gun company that specializes in something else trots out a 1911 with hopes of grabbing market share. While none of these pistols matches Kimber in quality or features - and many cost more - they do a great job of confusing things. Follow the lead of the experts. Don't settle for anything less than the best. Trust your next shot to Kimber.
