Description

The 2K11 is Kimber's bold entry into the double-stack 1911 market, and they didn't hold back. Built on a stainless steel frame finished in matte KimPro Granite, this is a full-size, single-action pistol that combines the ergonomics and feel of a classic 1911 with the modern features you'd expect from a competition-grade platform. The 5-inch barrel is fluted, ramped, and finished in a brush-polished Coyote PVD coat with 5R rifling and a 1:10 twist rate — it locks up tight and feeds consistently thanks to the ramped design and external extractor.

The slide is cut for optics using an RMR footprint and includes a C&H Precision adapter plate right in the box, so you can mount a Trijicon RMR or compatible optic without hunting for extra hardware. Custom 2K11 front and rear serrations with lightening cuts keep the slide looking purposeful and make it easy to run at speed. Iron sight coverage comes from TAG FiberLok 2 fiber-optic sights up front with an adjustable rear, and additional red and black fiber inserts are included so you can dial in your preference.

The GT match-grade trigger delivers a crisp, clean break in the 3 to 4 pound range — reviewers consistently call it one of the best factory triggers in this class. The grip module is built by MJD Designs from Kevlar and carbon fiber, mirroring the aggressive slide serration pattern and providing a solid, confident hold without being abrasive. Controls include an ambidextrous thumb safety, beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, and a Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover for lights or lasers.

One of the more underrated features is the patent-pending tool-less guide rod. Field stripping a 2011-style pistol can be a chore, but Kimber simplified the process considerably — just remove the slide stop, pull the slide back, and give the guide rod a twist. No paperclip, no bushing wrench, no frustration.

This 10+1 configuration ships with three 10-round magazines, making it the right fit for areas where standard-capacity magazines aren't an option. Everything else about the gun is identical to the higher-capacity Stainless Target variants — same barrel, same trigger, same grip, same optic-ready slide. It's a premium platform without compromise, just sized to the capacity you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What optics will fit the Kimber 2K11 Target OR slide?

The slide is cut to an RMR footprint and ships with a C&H Precision adapter plate that supports Trijicon RMR-family optics right out of the box. C&H Precision also offers additional plates for other footprints like the RMSc, so you have options if you prefer a different optic. It's a good idea to confirm your specific optic's footprint before ordering an additional plate.

Why does this version ship with 10-round magazines instead of the higher-capacity mags?

This specific SKU (MPN 3500057) is the 10+1 configuration of the 2K11 Stainless Target, shipping with three 10-round magazines. Kimber produces this variant to accommodate areas where standard-capacity magazines are restricted. The pistol itself is identical to the higher-capacity Stainless Target in every other way — same barrel, trigger, grip, and slide.

How does the tool-less guide rod work on the 2K11?

Kimber's patent-pending guide rod system makes field stripping considerably simpler than most 2011-style pistols. After removing the slide stop and pulling the slide rearward, you twist the end of the guide rod, which compresses and locks the recoil spring in place. From there, takedown proceeds just like a standard 1911 — no special tools, no balancing act with a paperclip.

Is the 2K11 compatible with third-party 2011 magazines?

The 2K11 is compatible with Staccato-pattern 2011 magazines, which gives you solid aftermarket options. Keep in mind that Kimber engineered the frame with a stop to prevent over-insertion and protect the ejector, which means not every 2011 magazine on the market will work — MBX magazines, for example, are known not to seat properly. Sticking with Kimber-branded or Staccato-compatible mags is the safest bet.

How does the 2K11 handle recoil compared to a standard single-stack 1911?

The all-metal construction and 40-plus ounce weight work in your favor here — multiple reviewers describe the 9mm recoil as noticeably soft and flat for a gun of this size. The full-size format, tight barrel lockup, and external extractor all contribute to a smooth shooting experience that keeps the muzzle from climbing, making fast follow-up shots easier to manage than you might expect.

Is the Kimber 2K11 Stainless Target a good competition pistol?

It's well-suited for USPSA, IDPA, and similar action shooting disciplines right out of the box. The GT match-grade trigger, fiber-optic sights, RMR-ready slide, accessory rail, and ambidextrous safety are all features that competitive shooters prioritize, and they come standard rather than as aftermarket additions. The Stainless Target variant in particular adds the MJD Kevlar/carbon fiber grip module and Stan Chen Customs magwell, which are upgrades many competitors add to other 2011s at extra cost.
