First Look: Kimber 2K11 High-Capacity 1911s

We take a quick look at the new Kimber 2K11, a high-capacity 1911 modernized for the 21st century.

The 2011 craze continues to boom, and the latest company to take a shot at the growing market is Kimber with the new 2K11. A high-capacity, modernized 1911, the Kimber 2K11 is available in both 9mm and .45 ACP in standard and target configurations.

Sporting 5-inch barrels, both versions of the Kimber 2K11 ship with three magazines. The 9mm variants come with one 17-round and two 20-round mags, and the .45 ACP versions come with three 13-round mags. All models are also optics-ready and ship with a C&H optic plate for the RMR mounting footprint (three other footprint plates are available separately). The 2K11 Target in 9mm is also available to purchase as a package with a Trijicon SRO. Features that separate the Target model from the standard 2K11 include its ported slide, adjustable rear target sight and Stan Chen Customs magwell. It also sports a coyote finish instead of black.

Other noteworthy features found on all Kimber 2K11s include external extractors for better reliability, aluminum grip modules, excellent GT Triggers and improved internal geometry for feeding from high-capacity mags. The guide rod design even allows for easy, tool-less disassembly.

Everett Deger, Director of Marketing and Communications at Kimber, said this about the new pistols:

We were determined to produce the very best high capacity 1911 and deliver a superior value. The 2K11 has several unique features that come standard that you have to have customized in the aftermarket to achieve what you get out of the box with Kimber.

The standard Kimber 2K11 has an MSRP of $1,995 in 9mm and $2,125 in .45 ACP. The 2K11 Target has an MSRP of $2,495 in 9mm and $2,595 in .45 ACP.
