KIMBER 1911 DS Warrior | 9mm | 5in | 3600302

The Kimber 1911 DS Warrior is a full-size, optics-ready 1911 chambered in 9mm with a 5-inch stainless steel barrel and a lightweight carbon-fiber/Kevlar grip module. It combines a stainless slide with an aluminum sub-frame and carries Kimber’s KimPro II finish and tritium night sights. For a complementing optic under $1,000, consider a compact red-dot such as the Holosun 507K for robust footprint compatibility and fast target acquisition.

Typical applications for this pistol include competitive shooting and precision range training where a full-size 1911 platform with optics-ready capability and high-capacity magazine options is advantageous.

Its carbon-fiber-infused grip module reduces perceived weight while preserving a full-size grip and sight radius, making it well suited for competitive work and deliberate precision practice. The included RMR mounting plate and night sights allow the pistol to be configured for rapid sight acquisition without losing the 1911 platform’s inherent control characteristics.
