Kimber RAPIDE DAWN .45 ACP 5″ 8rd | 3000423CA

The Kimber RAPIDE DAWN is a full-size 1911 built with target-oriented features and California-compliant controls. It pairs a 5″ match-grade barrel with stepped cocking serrations, TruGlo TFX Pro day/night sights, and G10 RAPIDE grips for a balanced, shot-to-shot feel. For users fitting a red-dot to a carry or competition slide, a compact optic such as a Trijicon RMR Type 2 (well under $1,000) is a practical match for the RAPIDE’s sight picture and profile.
