The Kimber 2K11 Independence delivers match-grade accuracy and reliability in a classic 1911 platform chambered in .45 ACP. This stainless steel pistol combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision for serious shooters who demand performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard production 1911s, the 2K11 Independence features Kimber's match-grade barrel and trigger system straight from the factory. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives while maintaining the tight tolerances that deliver consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards. Premium components and hand-fitted parts ensure reliable function with both ball and hollow point ammunition.
Key Features
- Match-grade stainless steel barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy

- Stainless steel frame and slide with satin finish

The 2K11 Independence excels in competitive shooting environments where precision matters most. The match-grade trigger breaks cleanly for accurate shot placement, while the full-size frame provides excellent control during rapid fire strings. Stainless steel construction resists environmental wear during extended outdoor use, making it suitable for both range training and field applications.
