Kimber Aegis Elite Custom | .45 ACP | 5 in Barrel

The Kimber Aegis Elite Custom is a stainless-steel 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with a 5 inch barrel and a factory-milled Vortex Venom 6 MOA red dot for fast sight acquisition. It features G-10 grips, a premium aluminum trigger, and a combination of satin silver frame and matte black KimPro II slide finishes. This configuration is built for accurate range work and target-oriented competition where a reliably sighted pistol and consistent trigger are priorities.

Suggested optic: the factory-installed Vortex Venom 6 MOA red dot pairs well with this platform and is available for well under $1,000, providing a simple, low-profile aiming point suited to a 5-inch 1911.

Applications: range practice and action or precision pistol competition.
