The Kimber Camp Guard delivers serious stopping power in 10mm Auto with an 8+1 capacity for outdoor protection and hunting applications. This full-size 1911 combines match-grade accuracy with rugged construction designed for demanding field conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Camp Guard features a 5-inch stainless steel match-grade barrel that delivers consistent accuracy shot after shot. Unlike standard production pistols, this model includes a serrated slide for enhanced grip during rapid manipulation and a beavertail grip safety for improved hand positioning. The two-tone finish combines a matte black slide with satin silver stainless steel frame for both durability and distinctive appearance.

Field performance centers on the 10mm Auto cartridge's ability to handle everything from whitetail deer to black bear encounters.
