Kimber RAPIDE DAWN 9mm 1911 | Stainless Steel | 3000420

The Kimber RAPIDE Dawn is a full-size 1911-style semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm, built on a stainless steel platform with Grey/Black G10 Rapide-pattern grips and TruGlo TFX day/night sights. It features a match-grade stainless steel barrel with a Gold TiN finish, stepped cocking serrations, and slide lightening cuts for a distinctive appearance and durable service life. This configuration is aimed at shooters who value precision 1911 ergonomics and solid stainless construction for range use and competition.

A compact red-dot such as the Trijicon RMR (Type 2) pairs well with this platform for fast target acquisition while staying under $1,000. For iron-sight work the factory TruGlo TFX Pro day/night sights provide a usable front ring and tritium-enhanced rear for varied light conditions.
