Kimber RAPIDE FROST 45ACP | 5in | 3000427

The Kimber Rapide Frost is a full-size 1911 chambered in .45 ACP built around a 5 inch match-grade barrel and a performance-oriented slide and frame. It pairs stepped cocking serrations and slide lightening cuts with Kimber Stiplex front strap stippling and Rapide G10 grips for secure control in recoil-sensitive shooting. For a sighting solution under $1000, a compact red-dot such as a Trijicon RMR Type 2 complements the Rapide Frost’s slide profile and competition-oriented ergonomics.

Real-world applications include competition shooting and precision target/range work where consistent sight picture and a crisp trigger are priorities.
