Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Camp Guard 10 came out of a conversation between Kimber and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation about what the ideal backcountry pistol would look like. The answer was a full-size 1911 chambered in 10mm Auto, a cartridge with the velocity and penetration to handle big, unfriendly wildlife while staying manageable enough to shoot well under stress. That combination is exactly why so many hunters, packers, and elk camp regulars have moved from heavy revolvers to a duty-size 10mm on the hip.
The two-tone setup is more than looks. A satin silver stainless steel frame carries a matte black stainless slide finished in KimPro, and the carved rosewood RMEF grips give it real character around the campfire. Underneath, this is a properly built 1911: a 5-inch match grade ramped barrel that fully supports the 10mm chamber, a full-length guide rod, an 18.5-pound recoil spring, and 30 LPI checkering on the front strap so it stays put in a sweaty or gloved hand. The skeletonized hammer and trigger, beavertail grip safety, extended thumb safety, and lowered and flared ejection port round out a feature list you would expect on a semi-custom gun.
Kimber fits the Camp Guard with Tactical Wedge three-dot tritium night sights, which matters more on a woods gun than most people think. Trouble in the backcountry rarely schedules itself for high noon, and glowing sights at dawn or dusk are a genuine advantage. The trigger breaks cleanly in the 4 to 5 pound range with a short reset, and range reports consistently praise this pistol's accuracy.
At 38 ounces empty and 8.7 inches long, it carries like a standard Government-size 1911 in a good holster. It ships with one 8-round stainless magazine for 8+1 capacity, and a portion of proceeds from the RMEF partnership supports elk and habitat conservation. For hiking, hunting camp, hog country, or just a handsome 10mm for the range, this one earns its spot.
That was the whole point of its design. Kimber and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation built it specifically as a backcountry sidearm, and the 10mm Auto delivers the penetration needed for large predators while staying far more shootable than heavy magnum revolvers. Pair it with quality hard-cast or deep-penetrating loads and it makes a solid trail companion in bear country.
Yes, it comes from the factory with Tactical Wedge three-dot tritium night sights. The tritium vials glow in low light without batteries, which is a real benefit on a gun meant for camp and trail use where trouble tends to show up at dawn or dusk.
It is built for them. The one-piece ramped match grade barrel fully supports the case head, and the stiff 18.5-pound recoil spring is set up for real 10mm pressure, not watered-down loads. That fully supported chamber is a feature handloaders in particular appreciate since it is easier on brass.
It ships with one 8-round stainless steel magazine, giving you 8+1 total capacity. It uses standard 1911 10mm single-stack magazines, so picking up quality spares from makers like Wilson Combat or Mec-Gar is easy if you want extras for the range or the trail.
