The Kimber Rampart delivers exceptional performance in the classic 38 Super cartridge with modern engineering and premium materials. This full-size 1911 platform combines traditional reliability with contemporary enhancements for competitive shooting and serious applications.
What Makes This Different
The Rampart features a stainless steel slide with Cerakote finish that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes. The G10 grips offer enhanced texture and durability over traditional wood or plastic alternatives. At 5 inches, the barrel length maximizes the 38 Super's velocity potential while maintaining the proven 1911 manual of arms that shooters trust.
Key Features
- 38 Super chambering with 9+1 capacity for increased power over 9mm
- 5-inch stainless steel barrel and slide with Cerakote protective coating
- Aggressive G10 grips provide secure hold in all conditions
- Full-size 1911 frame accommodates most standard 1911 holsters

The 38 Super cartridge delivers approximately 200 fps more velocity than comparable 9mm loads while maintaining manageable recoil in the full-size frame. This combination excels in USPSA competition where power factor requirements favor the 38 Super's performance envelope. The Cerakote finish withstands extended range sessions and adverse weather conditions without degradation. Accuracy potential typically groups under 2.5 inches at 25 yards with quality ammunition.
