Description
Kimber jumped into the double stack 1911 game with the 2K11, and the Pro Stainless takes everything that made the full size gun a hit and trims it down to a 4.25 inch Commander length that carries and handles noticeably better. The stainless steel slide and sub-frame wear Kimber's matte KimPro Granite finish, set off by a coyote PVD barrel and an MJD carbon fiber and Kevlar composite grip module that keeps weight to a manageable 35 ounces with an empty mag. Every one of these is assembled start to finish by a single technician, and that hand fitting shows the second you rack the slide.
What Sets the 2K11 Pro Stainless Apart
The GT match grade trigger is the star here, breaking clean between 3 and 4 pounds with short travel and no creep. Capacity is another big win. The two included Checkmate UHC magazines use a nested coil spring design to squeeze 19 rounds into a tube that looks like it should hold 17, so you get serious firepower without extra bulk in the grip. Kimber also fitted an external extractor for consistent reliability, a tapered magwell that stabilizes the mag during cycling, ambidextrous thumb safeties, and a patent pending tool-less guide rod that makes field stripping this bushingless design refreshingly painless. No paperclip tricks required.
Optics Ready From the Factory
The slide comes cut for red dots and includes a C&H Precision adapter plate in the Trijicon RMR footprint, which also covers popular Holosun options. Prefer irons? The cover plate has a fixed rear sight machined right in, paired with a bright TAG Precision FiberLok 2 fiber optic front that snaps your eye to the post in any light. A rail on the full length dust cover handles lights and lasers, and the 4.25 inch fluted, crowned barrel with 5R rifling and a 1:10 twist stabilizes everything from light range loads to heavy 147 grain defensive ammo. Whether it rides in a holster daily or runs matches on the weekend, this is one of the most complete 2011 packages out there.

Frequently Asked Questions
What red dots fit the Kimber 2K11 Pro Stainless?
It ships with a C&H Precision adapter plate cut for the Trijicon RMR footprint, which covers the RMR and SRO along with popular Holosun models like the 407C, 507C, and 508T. If you run a different footprint, Kimber offers additional plates for patterns like RMSc, DeltaPoint Pro, ACRO, and 509T. The cover plate has a fixed rear sight machined into it, so the iron sights work great if you skip the optic.
Is the 2K11 Pro small enough for concealed carry?
That is exactly what Kimber built it for. The Pro trims the barrel to 4.25 inches and uses a carbon fiber and Kevlar composite grip module that brings weight down to about 35 ounces, several ounces lighter than the aluminum grip versions. It is still a double stack steel frame gun, so pair it with a solid holster and good belt and it carries very well for the capacity you get.
Will the Kimber 2K11 Pro accept other 2011-pattern magazines?
In general, yes. It runs the included Checkmate UHC 19-rounders and works with most 2011-pattern mags, including Staccato, Atlas, and Duramag. MBX magazines are the notable exception, as they do not fit properly with the Kimber magwell design.
Is the 2K11 Pro hard to field strip like other bushingless 2011s?
Not at all, and that is one of its best tricks. Kimber's patent pending tool-less guide rod lets you break it down without a paperclip, bushing wrench, or any special tools. Just twist the guide rod and take it apart like a standard 1911, which makes routine cleaning much less of a chore.
