Kimber Rapide | .45 ACP | 5″ Barrel | 3000383

The Kimber Rapide is a full-size 1911-style pistol built around a 5″ match-grade barrel and a dark KimPro II finish. It features stepped slide lightening cuts, G10 WavZ grips, and TRUGLO TFX Pro day/night sights for reliable sight acquisition in varied lighting. For a compact optic that pairs well with this platform and remains under $1,000, consider a Holosun 507C-series red dot for durable, low-profile sighting suitable for a 1911 slide cut.

Common real-world applications for this pistol include precision target shooting and competitive pistol events where a reliable, accurate 1911 with enhanced controls and sighting is preferred.

The Rapide blends traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern enhancements — stepped cocking serrations and slide lightening cuts reduce slide mass while the TiN-coated match barrel adds wear resistance. The KimPro II finish and G10 WavZ grips give a balanced combination of durability and purchase for range or competitive use, while the TRUGLO TFX Pro sights provide a visible front ring in daylight and tritium visibility at night. This configuration suits shooters who want a full-size, accurate 1911 with upgraded controls and sighting options.
