Description
Kimber took everything people love about the 1911, the flat trigger pull, the grip angle, the way it points, and wrapped it around a 19-round double-stack frame. The result is the 2K11 Pro Eclipse, a 9mm built for folks who want serious capacity without giving up that classic single-action feel. The 4.25 inch fluted bull barrel wears a black DLC finish and a deep crown, and it sits under a brushed stainless slide with custom front and rear serrations. Paired with the KimPro Black sub-frame, the two-tone Eclipse treatment turns heads at the range without trying too hard.
What Sets the 2K11 Pro Eclipse Apart
The GT match-grade trigger breaks clean between 3 and 4 pounds with short travel and no creep, and it is one of the standout features on this pistol. Kimber also went with an external extractor for consistent, reliable extraction over high round counts, plus a patent-pending tool-less guide rod that makes field stripping quick and painless. The grip module comes from MJD Designs and blends carbon fiber with Kevlar, which trims roughly six ounces compared to the aluminum-gripped models in the lineup while soaking up recoil nicely. An integrated tapered magwell speeds up reloads and keeps the magazine stable during cycling. Each 2K11 is assembled start to finish by a single technician rather than passed down an assembly line.
Optics Ready Out of the Box
The slide ships with a C&H Precision adapter plate cut for the Trijicon RMR footprint, so mounting an RMR, SRO, or compatible Holosun takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith. Until you add a dot, the TAG Precision FiberLok 2 fiber optic front sight and fixed rear plate give you a bright, fast sight picture, and Kimber even includes a fiber replacement kit. Two 19-round magazines come in the box, built with a nested coil spring design that fits 19 rounds into a tube sized like a typical 17-rounder. Add the accessory rail for a light and you have a pistol that is equally at home in a match, on the nightstand, or burning through a case of ammo on a Saturday.

Frequently Asked Questions
What red dots fit the Kimber 2K11 Pro Eclipse?
The slide comes optics ready with a C&H Precision adapter plate cut for the Trijicon RMR footprint, which covers the RMR, RMR HD, and SRO along with Holosun models like the 407C, 507C, and 508T. If you run a different footprint, C&H and Kimber offer alternate plates so you are not locked into one optic family.
Is the 2K11 Pro Eclipse a true 1911 or a 2011-style pistol?
It is Kimber's take on the double-stack 2011 concept. You get the single-action trigger, thumb safety, and grip angle of a classic 1911, but the steel sub-frame pairs with a carbon fiber and Kevlar grip module from MJD Designs to hold wide-body 19-round magazines. Controls and manual of arms will feel immediately familiar to any 1911 fan.
How does the Pro Eclipse differ from the full-size 2K11?
The Pro runs a 4.25 inch fluted, crowned bull barrel instead of the 5 inch tube, making it easier to carry and quicker to handle while keeping the same core features. The Eclipse variant uses the lighter composite grip module, bringing it in around 35 ounces, roughly six ounces lighter than the aluminum-gripped versions in the Pro lineup.
Is the Kimber 2K11 Pro Eclipse good for carry or mainly a range gun?
It genuinely does both well. The 4.25 inch barrel and 35 ounce weight keep it manageable in a quality holster, while the 19+1 capacity, crisp GT trigger, and soft recoil impulse make it a blast for range sessions and competition. The accessory rail also takes a weapon light, so it works fine as a home defense setup too.
