Kimber Rapide 10mm Pistol 5" Barrel 8+1 Capacity Gold TiN Finish

The Kimber Rapide 10mm delivers premium 1911 performance with modern manufacturing precision and enhanced features for serious shooters. This full-size pistol combines traditional 1911 reliability with contemporary materials and finishes designed for demanding applications.

What Makes This Different

The Rapide features Kimber's signature lightening cuts machined into the stainless steel slide, reducing reciprocating mass for faster cycling and improved balance. The gold Titanium Nitride barrel coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance and reduces friction compared to standard steel finishes. KimPro II coating on both slide and frame offers superior durability over traditional bluing or parkerizing.

Key Features

• 5-inch match-grade stainless steel barrel with gold TiN coating for enhanced performance
• Lightening cuts and serrations on stainless steel slide reduce weight and improve grip
• G10 grips provide superior texture and moisture resistance in all conditions
• Beavertail grip safety allows high grip positioning for better recoil control
• 8+1 capacity with flush-fitting magazine for concealed carry compatibility
• KimPro II black finish resists wear and corrosion better than standard coatings
• Full-size frame accommodates most standard 1911 holsters and accessories

The 10mm Auto cartridge delivers substantially more energy than .45 ACP while maintaining manageable recoil in the full-size platform. Law enforcement agencies and hunters appreciate the cartridge's ability to penetrate barriers and deliver stopping power at extended ranges. The 5-inch barrel maximizes velocity potential while maintaining accuracy standards expected from Kimber's manufacturing processes.
