Kimber 1911 Rapide Heat 9mm Threaded Bbl 8rd Optics Ready

New for 2023, the Kimber Rapide Heat 1911 is a high-performance handgun packed with features. Like all of Kimber’s 1911s, the Rapide Heat boasts exceptional accuracy. This is largely thanks to a combination of a match-grade V-Cut aluminum trigger that breaks cleanly at 4-5 lbs., a match-grade chamber, and a precision machined match-grade barrel. Accuracy is further enhanced with suppressor height 3-dot sights, and an optics cut in the slide allows a micro red dot to be installed for faster, more intuitive target acquisition/engagement.
In addition to its match-winning accuracy, the Rapide Heat offers the maximum performance that Kimber is known for. A series of lightning cuts in the slide speeds up lock time, and a lowered, flared ejection port assists in the ejection of spent brass. The slide is hand fitted to the frame, and all metal parts are given a KimPro II finish for superior resistance to corrosion and the elements. A 1913 picatinny rail accommodates the use of tactical lights/lasers, and 1/2×28” threads on the barrel makes the Rapide Heat suppressor ready. Other features of the Rapide Heat include a set of Black/Red G10 grips, as well as a stiplex texturing on the front strap.
