Kimber RAPIDE .38 Super | 5″ FDE | 3000463

The Kimber Rapide is a 1911-style, single-action pistol chambered in .38 Super with a 5″ barrel and a Flat Dark Earth applied finish. The slide is optic-cut for electronic red dots and it ships with suppressor-height fixed sights and FDE G10-style grips. For a red-dot that pairs well and remains under $1000, consider the Holosun HS507C for clear, fast sight acquisition suited to this platform.

Common real-world applications for this pistol include competitive pistol shooting and range training/precision target work.

The Rapide pairs modern, competition-oriented ergonomics with Kimber’s 1911 heritage: expect a crisp, V-cut trigger and a slide machined for optics, plus suppressor-height sights for co-witnessing or use with threaded-barrel setups. Its FDE finish and G10-style grips provide a tactical look while remaining practical for range use. If you value a refined trigger, an optic-ready slide, and a platform tuned for accuracy at the line, this pistol delivers those characteristics in a compact 5″ package.
