The Kimber 1911 Patria (CNCPATRIA) is a collaboration between Kimber and CNC Firearms, a company specializing in limited-edition custom and collectible 1911s. With only 300 of these produced, it sits firmly in the territory of a collector's piece that can also be shot. The foundation is Kimber's full-size 1911 Government platform, which they've long been recognized for building with tight tolerances and match-grade components. The gold plated PVD barrel and polished stainless slide with custom engraving and serrations make this one of the most visually striking 1911s you'll find at any price point. The stainless frame with gold accents and genuine pearl grips round out an aesthetic that's hard to argue with.
The .38 Super chambering is a big part of the Patria's identity. It's a round with serious history, originally developed for the 1911 platform and a longtime favorite in open-class competition for its ability to hit major power factor at higher velocities than the 9mm, all while staying flat and controllable. In a full-size 1911 like this one, the .38 Super feeds reliably, shoots softer than .45 ACP, and carries genuine ballistic credibility beyond just looking impressive. The 9+1 capacity is also a step up over a standard .45 ACP 1911 configuration, which is a welcome bonus in a gun this nice.
The match-grade barrel paired with the tight Kimber fit and finish means this gun shoots as well as it looks. Fixed sights, a 3-hole trigger, and a manual thumb safety keep the controls traditional and clean. The single-action trigger is exactly what you'd expect from a properly built Kimber 1911.
The gold plated PVD barrel is the showpiece here, and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a durable finish process that holds up better than traditional gold plating over time. The polished stainless slide with hand-engraved detail and slide serrations gives the gun a classic but elevated look, not overdone, just genuinely refined. Pearl grips on a stainless and gold 1911 is a combination that's been celebrated on premium pistols for generations, and this one earns that tradition. At a production run of 300 units, the Patria isn't something you'll see every day, and that scarcity only adds to its long-term appeal.
It's genuinely both. The Kimber 1911 platform underneath all that custom work is a match-grade, hand-fitted pistol that functions and shoots like a serious firearm. That said, with only 300 produced, many buyers will choose to preserve it unfired or minimize range time to protect its collector value and finish. It's a personal call, but there's nothing mechanically stopping you from shooting it.
The .38 Super was actually designed around the 1911 platform, which gives it a natural feeding advantage over 9mm conversions. It shoots faster and flatter than .45 ACP with noticeably less felt recoil, while delivering more velocity and energy than standard 9mm loads. It has a long history in open-class competition and among collectors who want something beyond the usual chamberings.
It's not as common as 9mm or .45 ACP at every big-box store, but .38 Super is available from most major ammo manufacturers including Federal, Remington, Fiocchi, and others, and can typically be found at dedicated gun shops or online. Reloaders also enjoy the cartridge since it uses the same 9mm/.356 diameter projectiles, which are widely available.
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a more advanced coating process than traditional electroplated gold. The result is a finish that bonds at a molecular level, giving it significantly better hardness, adhesion, and resistance to wear and corrosion over time. For a collector's piece like the Patria, that durability matters whether the gun is in a display case or sees occasional range use.
CNC Firearms typically includes a challenge coin and a certificate of authenticity signed by the owner of Custom & Collectible Firearms with their limited-edition pieces. We recommend confirming the exact package contents at the time of purchase, as inclusions can vary by production run.
Yes, CNC Firearms has produced several limited-edition Kimber 1911 builds in .38 Super with different aesthetic themes, including the El Patron and the Black Deluxe Classic, among others. Each has a unique finish, grip style, and production run number. The Patria at 300 units is one of the more tightly limited options in the lineup.
