Kimber Custom LW Shadow Ghost | 9mm | 5″ | 3700786CA

The Kimber Custom LW Shadow Ghost is a California-compliant, full-size 1911 chambered in 9mm with a 5-inch match-grade stainless steel barrel and an aluminum lightweight frame. It features a white-dot fixed rear sight, a red fiber-optic front sight, a loaded chamber indicator on the slide, and a magazine disconnect. This configuration suits precise range work and target competition where 1911 ergonomics and trigger control are valued; consider using it for bullseye or action-style pistol matches.

Consider pairing this pistol with a Trijicon RMR Type 2 red-dot optic, a compact and rugged miniature red-dot commonly available for well under $1,000, to preserve the 1911’s sight picture while improving rapid target acquisition for competition or precision range use.
