Description
Kimber took everything that made the full-size 2K11 a hit and packed it into a commander-length pistol you can realistically carry. The 2K11 Pro Minotaur runs a 4.25 inch fluted bull barrel with a deep crown, 5R rifling, and a black DLC finish, sitting under a stainless slide dressed in distressed Sandstone Cerakote. That weathered, battle-worn look is the Minotaur's signature, and in person it pops even more than the photos suggest. Each one is hand-assembled by a single Kimber technician, which shows in how tight the fit and finish feel right out of the box.
What Sets the 2K11 Pro Minotaur Apart
The GT match trigger is the star here. It has a short takeup, no creep, and a crisp break in the 3 to 4 pound range, with a reset you can both hear and feel. Feeding those fast follow-ups are two 19-round Check-Mate magazines running through an enhanced steel sub-frame with a tapered magwell that stabilizes the mag during cycling. An external extractor boosts reliability over traditional internal designs, and the patent-pending tool-less guide rod makes takedown and cleaning refreshingly simple. The aluminum grip module adds just enough heft up front to keep the muzzle flat through strings of fire.
Optics Ready From Day One
The slide ships with a C&H Precision adapter plate cut for the Trijicon RMR footprint, which also covers popular Holosun options, and plates for other footprints are available if your dot of choice runs a different pattern. Prefer irons? The TAG Precision FiberLok 2 front sight pairs with a fixed rear built into the cover plate, and Kimber includes a fiber replacement kit so you can swap colors or refresh a worn insert.
Carry-Ready Double Stack 1911
With an ambidextrous thumb safety, a full accessory rail for lights and lasers, and front and rear slide serrations that give real purchase, the 2K11 Pro Minotaur is set up for duty, home defense, competition, or carry. It delivers the crisp single-action feel 1911 fans love with the capacity modern pistols demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kimber 2K11 Pro Minotaur optics ready, and what red dots fit?
Yes, it ships optics ready with a C&H Precision adapter plate cut for the Trijicon RMR footprint, which also works with dots like the Holosun 407C, 507 series, and 508T. If you run a different footprint, Kimber offers additional C&H plates for the DPP, RMSc, ACRO, and 509T patterns. The fixed rear sight sits on a cover plate that comes off to expose the mounting cut.
How does the 2K11 Pro differ from the full-size 2K11?
The Pro is the commander-size version, trading the 5 inch barrel for a 4.25 inch fluted bull barrel and running flush 19-round magazines instead of 20. You keep all the same core features, including the GT match trigger, external extractor, tool-less guide rod, and optics-ready slide. The shorter package makes it noticeably easier to carry and conceal.
What is the trigger like on the 2K11 Pro Minotaur?
Kimber's GT match-grade trigger is rated at 3 to 4 pounds, and real-world pulls tend to land right in the middle of that range. It has a short takeup, a crisp break with zero creep, and a short, tactile reset. It is one of the best triggers you will find on a production double stack 1911.
Do standard 2011 magazines work in this pistol?
The 2K11 Pro ships with two 19-round Check-Mate magazines built for Kimber's enhanced sub-frame geometry, so those are your best bet for reliable feeding. Kimber sells additional factory magazines directly. The tapered magwell in the sub-frame is designed around these mags to stabilize them during cycling.
