The Kimber RTC Two-Tone delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability in a compact 9mm platform engineered for concealed carry and duty applications. This pistol combines Kimber's precision manufacturing with modern tactical features that serious shooters demand. Built on a proven aluminum frame with stainless steel slide construction, it offers the perfect balance of durability and weight management for extended carry comfort.
What Makes This Different
The RTC (Ready to Carry) series stands apart from standard compact pistols through its enhanced trigger system and match-grade barrel accuracy. While typical production pistols deliver 3-4 MOA groups, the RTC consistently produces sub-2 MOA accuracy at 25 yards. The two-tone finish provides both corrosion resistance and reduced glare, addressing practical concerns that matte black alternatives often overlook. Factory night sights come standard, eliminating the need for immediate upgrades that other manufacturers treat as premium options.
Key Features
- Match-grade stainless steel barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy
- Aluminum frame with tactical rail for light/laser mounting
- Enhanced trigger system with crisp 4.5-5 pound pull weight
- Low-profile night sights for rapid target acquisition
- Ambidextrous thumb safety for left and right-handed operation

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F without function failures. The RTC handles standard pressure and +P ammunition equally well, making it suitable for law enforcement duty carry, competitive shooting, and personal protection roles. Corrosion resistance testing shows the two-tone finish withstands 500+ hours of salt spray exposure without degradation.
