In the crowded world of 2011 variants, Kimber just threw down a serious marker. The all-new Kimber 2K11 Pro isn’t just another double-stack 1911—it’s the company’s answer to what shooters really want: a high-capacity pistol loaded with custom features, yet available straight from the factory.
Precision Meets Innovation
At the heart of the 2K11 is a design that blends modern innovation with Kimber’s traditional craftsmanship.
The pistol features a patent-pending tool-less guide rod, improved internal magazine geometry, an external extractor, and full optics-ready capability. Together, these upgrades position the 2K11 as one of the most forward-thinking 2011 platforms available.

Unlike mass-assembly production lines, each 2K11 is built from the ground up by a single Kimber firearms technician. That technician machines, fits, and finishes every component—ensuring the kind of consistency and precision typically reserved for true custom pistols.
The 5R rifled barrel is hand-fitted to the slide, promising tight shot groups right out of the box.
Key Features
- GT signature trigger

Built in Alabama, Engineered to Perform
Manufactured in Troy, Alabama, the 2K11 uses a 7075-aluminum alloy grip module with a Type 3 hard anodized coating, precisely fit to a CNC-machined stainless steel subframe.
That subframe features a DLC coating and a proprietary shoulder that prevents over-insertion of magazines—a detail aimed at avoiding ejector damage, a common failure point in some 2011 pistols.
For competitors and hard-use shooters, select 2K11 models include a KimPro finish with a carbon-fiber infused grip module and aggressive texturing for enhanced control under stress.
Out-of-the-Box Accuracy
Kimber claims the 2K11 delivers the most accurate, high-capacity 1911 available straight from the box. With its tight tolerances, refined ergonomics, and high-end materials, the pistol aims squarely at shooters demanding both performance and reliability—without waiting months (or years) for a custom build.
The Kimber 2K11 looks ready to make serious waves in the competition, duty, and defensive pistol markets. It’s not just another entry in the 2011 arena. Learn more HERE.
