Eclipse II Family

Stun gun.

Eclipse pistols have such a striking appearance that it is easy for features and performance to take a back seat. All business right down to the core, Eclipse frames and slides are machined from solid stainless steel. Frontstraps have 30 lines-per-inch checkering for a positive grip. A match grade Premium Aluminum Trigger from the Custom Shop is tuned to release at 4-5 pounds. Breech faces are polished to ensure flawless feeding. Barrels and chambers are carefully machined to match grade dimensions.

The Eclipse finish brings out the classic lines of a 1911 better than any other process. The slide and frame are finished in a tough matte black oxide then all flat surfaces are brush polished, leaving recessed and curved surfaces dark and contrasting. Laminated gray/black wood grips checkered in the traditional double diamond pattern and matte black small parts round out the package.

The Eclipse Target II™ and the Eclipse Custom II™ are traditional full-size pistols with front and rear slide serrations. The Custom is available in both .45 ACP and 10mm, one of the most powerful cartridges ever chambered in a semi-automatic pistol.

The Eclipse Pro II™ and Eclipse Pro Target II™ have 4-inch match grade bushingless bull barrels fitted directly to the slide. The Eclipse Pro Target II is the only 4-inch Kimber 1911 with adjustable night sights. Even more specialized is the Eclipse Ultra II™, one of two 3-inch, short-grip Kimber pistols that does not have an aluminum frame. Like other Eclipse pistols, this little .45 ACP has a stainless steel frame, and its added weight reduces muzzle lift and makes it easier to recover a sight picture during rapid fire.


The Eclipse Target II .45 ACP has an elegant matte black finish with brush-polished flats over a stainless steel slide and frame.

All Eclipse pistols have night sights. The Eclipse Pro Target II and Eclipse Target II have adjustable night sights.

All Kimber pistols have beveled slide serrations. Sharp edges are gone, leaving nothing to hang up on clothing or holsters.

"All business right down to the core..."

The Eclipse has become one of the most copied pistol series Kimber has ever offered. Well and good, but a copy is not an equal. No other 1911 brand matches Kimber in American-made quality, dependability or performance. Anything else is just something less.
