All the newest and hottest sporting and defensive pistols from Kimber were on display at the 2025 SHOT Show: one of America's premium manufacturers of 1911-type pistols had the 2K11 series and the new Stainless II High Polished versions on stand, showing both souls of their production, the shiny polished collector-oriented side and the tactical-practical side.

One of the most capable, out-of-the-box, double-stack 1911 variants available, the Kimber 2K11 pistol – also available in a Target version – is chambered for 9mm Luger and feeds through 17-rounds and 20-rounds magazines. Offering  features such as an enhanced sub-frame shaped for superior magazine fit and control, featuring one-of-a-kind designed Stan Chen Customs magwell, plus an accessory rail for optional lights and lasers, the Kimber 2K11 is also the first pistol to feature the Company's own tool-less guide rod. Finally, the new GT trigger with a 3-4lb pull is precision machined and finished for a clean, crisp break. MSRP ranges between $2,125.00 and $3,095.00 depending on the variant.

The Kimber Stainless Steel II High Polished pistol, chambered in .38 Super Auto, is a variant of the Stainless II, a hallmark for the Kimber family that has set the standard for superior 1911's for over a decade. Offering features such as a single-stack 9-rounds magazines, a custom-fit 3 slot aluminum trigger with a 4-5lb pull and a crisp reset anchor, the new Stainless Steel II High Polished pistol is a timeless design that has been selected all over the nation for customization, commemorative work and ultimately competition, a testament to years of superior Kimber craftsmanship. MSRP on the US market is set at $1,223.00.
