Kimber 1911 DS Warrior | 9mm | 5″ | 3600307

The Kimber 1911 DS Warrior is a full-size, optics-ready 1911-style pistol chambered in 9mm with a 5″ stainless barrel and a factory-fitted carbon-fiber grip module. It combines a match-oriented trigger setup and a Picatinny rail for accessory mounting with a KimPro II finish for corrosion resistance. The slide ships with an RMR-compatible mounting plate and features front and rear serrations for positive manipulation. A good optics choice under $1,000 for this pistol is the Trijicon RMR Type 2 due to its compact footprint and direct compatibility with the included C&H RMR mounting plate.

Common real-world applications for this pistol include precision range training and service-pistol style competition, where the 5″ barrel and match trigger provide controllable shot-to-shot performance. It is designed for shooters who value fit-and-finish and optics-ready capability.
