Description
Kimber fans asked for a double stack 1911 for years, and the 2K11 Target shows the company was paying attention. This is a full-house 2011-style pistol built on a stainless steel frame with an aluminum grip module, feeding from double stack magazines for a 20+1 capacity in 9mm. Three mags come in the box, one 17 rounder and two 20 rounders, and the platform runs 2011-pattern magazines, so feeding it for match day is easy. At 42.3 ounces with an empty mag, it soaks up recoil and stays flat through fast strings, exactly what you want in a range and competition gun.
What Sets the 2K11 Target Apart
The details here read like a custom build sheet. The grip module wears a Stan Chen Customs tapered magwell that funnels reloads home, and the enhanced sub-frame is shaped for consistent magazine fit. The GT match grade trigger breaks clean at 3 to 4 pounds, and the patent-pending tool-less guide rod makes takedown refreshingly simple. Up top, the stainless slide carries an external extractor for dependable ejection, and the 5 inch fluted, ramped bull barrel is highly polished with a DLC finish and cut with 5R rifling at a 1:10 twist. A full-length accessory rail handles lights and lasers without a fuss.
Sights and Optics on the Kimber 2K11
Out of the box you get a TAG FiberLok 2 red fiber optic front sight paired with a cover plate that houses a built-in adjustable rear, so iron sight users are covered from day one. When you're ready for a dot, the RMR-footprint optic cut and the included C&H Precision adapter plate handle popular Trijicon and Holosun red dots.
Looks That Match the Performance
The brush polished Coyote PVD slide over the black DLC frame gives this pistol a two-tone look that stands out on any firing line. Between the capacity, the trigger, and the finish work, the 2K11 Target lands as a serious contender for USPSA-style competition, high round count training, or anyone who simply wants Kimber's take on the modern high-capacity 1911.

Frequently Asked Questions
What optics will mount on the Kimber 2K11 Target?
The slide is cut for the RMR footprint, and Kimber includes a C&H Precision adapter plate that covers popular Trijicon and Holosun red dots. If you'd rather run irons, the rear cover plate has a built-in adjustable rear sight that pairs with the red fiber optic front, so it shoots great right out of the box either way.
Does the 2K11 Target work with other 2011-pattern magazines?
Yes. The 2K11 is built on the double stack 1911 platform and runs 2011-pattern mags, including Staccato magazines. It ships with three from the factory, one 17 rounder and two 20 rounders, which is a generous start for range work or a local match.
Is the Kimber 2K11 Target good for competition shooting?
That's really its wheelhouse. The 3 to 4 pound GT match trigger, 42 ounce all-metal build, tapered Stan Chen magwell, and 20+1 capacity check the big boxes for USPSA-style shooting. The fluted 5 inch bull barrel and adjustable sights also make it a very capable precision range gun.
What makes the tool-less guide rod on the 2K11 useful?
Traditional 1911 and 2011 pistols often need a bushing wrench or paper clip trick to break down, which gets old fast. Kimber's patent-pending tool-less guide rod lets you field strip the 2K11 with your hands alone, so routine cleaning after a high round count session is quick and painless.
