Description

Kimber took everything that made the 2K11 such a hit and brought it over to the single-stack 1911, and this Boot Campaign edition is one of the sharpest ways to get it. Chambered in honest-to-goodness .45 ACP, it pairs a full-size Government profile with a 5-inch flush-fit stainless barrel and a deep crown for the kind of accuracy 1911 fans expect. Capacity is the traditional 7+1, and it ships ready to run with two stainless magazines.

What Sets the Boot Campaign Next Gen Apart

The big news on the Next Gen line is the move to an external extractor, a departure from the internal design Kimber ran for over three decades. External extractors are more robust, hold tighter tolerances, and tend to self-adjust, which means better feeding and fewer extraction hiccups when you're putting rounds downrange. Add the lowered and flared ejection port, the sloped disconnector ramp for smoother slide travel, and you've got a 1911 built to keep cycling.

Optics and Trigger on the Next Gen 1911

The slide is optic-ready out of the box. Lift off the rear sight and cover plate and you've got an RMR-pattern cut, and it ships with a C&H Precision adapter plate so you can mount a compatible red dot without sending the slide off for machining. The GT Performance trigger breaks clean in the 4 to 5 pound range with a crisp wall and short reset, which is a real treat on a factory gun. Front and rear serrations and a flat-top slide round out the package.

A 1911 That Honors Those Who Served

This isn't just another Next Gen. The Boot Campaign editions were created to honor America's veterans, with every sale supporting the Boot Campaign's mission to help service members heal from the physical and emotional scars of battle. Kimber has partnered with the nonprofit for years, raising real money for veteran health and wellness. You get a serious, modern 1911 and you're backing a good cause at the same time. Hard combo to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Boot Campaign Next Gen really optic-ready out of the box?

Yes. The rear sight and cover plate lift off to reveal an RMR-pattern optics cut, and the pistol ships with a C&H Precision adapter plate. That means you can mount a compatible red dot directly without sending the slide off for additional machining.

What's different about the Next Gen 1911 compared to older Kimber 1911s?

The biggest change is the switch to an external extractor, which Kimber moved to after running internal extractors for more than 30 years. External extractors are sturdier, run tighter tolerances, and tend to self-adjust for more reliable feeding. The Next Gen also adds the optic-ready slide, a sloped disconnector ramp for smoother cycling, and the GT trigger.

How does the GT trigger feel on this .45 ACP?

The GT Performance trigger is tuned to break between 4 and 5 pounds, and reviewers consistently find it crisp with a clean wall and short reset. For a factory 1911, it's a noticeable step up and gives you that match-grade feel right out of the box.

What does buying a Boot Campaign edition support?

Kimber created the Boot Campaign editions to honor American veterans, and every sale supports the Boot Campaign's mission to help service members heal from the physical and emotional toll of service. The nonprofit focuses on health and wellness, including support tied to post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries. Kimber has partnered with the organization for years and donated significant funds to the cause.

How many magazines come with the Kimber Boot Campaign Next Gen?

It ships with two stainless steel magazines, each holding 7 rounds of .45 ACP for the full 7+1 capacity. That's enough to get you started at the range, though most folks pick up a few spares for longer sessions.

Is this a full-size 1911 or a carry-length model?

This is a full-size Government model with a 5-inch barrel and standard 1911 frame. It's built around a stainless barrel with a deep crown for accuracy, making it well suited for range work, target shooting, and home defense.
