Description
The 2K11 Comp is Kimber's flagship performance pistol, and the integrated compensator is the centerpiece. Rather than bolting something onto the muzzle, Kimber machines the comp directly into the slide and barrel as a single, seamless unit. The result is a cleaner profile, better reliability, and real, noticeable reduction in muzzle flip during fast strings. For anyone running a double-stack 1911-style gun in competition or high-round-count training, that matters.
The 5-inch bull barrel is stainless steel with 5R rifling, a 1:10 twist, fluting, and a deep target crown. It fits tightly to the slide because every 2K11 is assembled start-to-finish by a single Kimber technician, with components held to extremely tight tolerances. That hands-on build process is what separates this from a production-line gun, and it shows in the feel and accuracy.
Sights are a TAG FiberLok 2 fiber optic up front and an adjustable rear cover plate, with extra red and black fiber optic inserts included so you can swap to your preference. The slide is lightened with custom front and rear serrations and comes from the factory with an optics-ready cut in the RMR footprint. The included TAG Precision adapter plate means you can mount a red dot without ordering additional parts.
The carbon fiber and glass matrix grip module keeps weight in check while providing a secure, textured purchase. Controls include a bumped grip safety, front strap checkering, and an ambidextrous thumb safety that works equally well for lefties and righties. The GT match-grade aluminum trigger breaks at 3-4 lbs and is one of the better factory triggers you'll find on any production pistol in this class.
The 2K11 Comp ships with three magazines: two 20-rounders and one 17-round mag. Whether you're running USPSA stages, working through drills, or just want a top-shelf range pistol that's ready to go without a parts list, this package covers a lot of ground right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Kimber 2K11 Comp come ready to mount a red dot optic?
Yes, the slide is factory cut in the RMR footprint and the pistol ships with a TAG Precision RMR adapter plate included. You'll need to pick up your preferred optic and appropriate mounting hardware, but you won't need to source a separate plate or send the slide out for milling. It's a genuinely ready-to-run setup.
How does the integrated compensator on the 2K11 Comp differ from a muzzle-mounted comp?
Rather than threading onto the barrel, the compensator on the 2K11 Comp is machined directly into both the slide and barrel as one unit. This means there's nothing to come loose, no added length beyond the standard barrel profile, and a cleaner overall look. It also keeps the gun's balance more consistent since the comp weight is part of the slide assembly itself.
What magazines does the Kimber 2K11 Comp ship with?
The pistol comes with three magazines: two 20-round Checkmate ultra high-capacity magazines and one 17-round magazine. That gives you plenty to work with right out of the box whether you're training, running stages, or just putting rounds downrange.
Is the 2K11 Comp a good fit for USPSA or other competitive shooting?
It's built with competition clearly in mind. The integrated comp, high-capacity magazines, adjustable sights, match-grade trigger, and optics-ready slide are exactly the features that matter in dynamic shooting sports. That said, check the rulebook for your specific division to confirm the comp configuration fits within your intended class before you commit.
How is the trigger on the 2K11 Comp from the factory?
Kimber installs their GT Match Grade aluminum trigger on the 2K11 Comp, spec'd at a 3-4 lb pull. For a factory trigger, it's genuinely impressive and well ahead of what most production pistols ship with. Most people running this gun for competition won't feel the need to swap it out right away.
Will standard 1911 or 2011 holsters fit the Kimber 2K11 Comp?
The integrated compensator changes the muzzle profile compared to a standard Government-model 1911, so not every off-the-shelf holster will fit correctly. It's worth confirming that any holster you purchase is specifically designed or tested to accommodate a comped 2K11 before buying. Several competition-focused holster makers do offer compatible options.
