The Kimber Raptor II Ultra combines match-grade accuracy with tactical reliability in a full-size 1911 platform chambered in 45 ACP. This premium pistol delivers consistent sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards while maintaining the dependability required for serious applications.
What Makes This Different
The Raptor II Ultra features a match-grade stainless steel barrel with target crown, providing superior accuracy compared to standard production barrels. The matte black serrated steel slide reduces glare while offering positive grip surfaces for manipulation under stress. Unlike basic 1911 models, this pistol includes an aluminum frame with integral beavertail grip safety for enhanced control and reduced felt recoil.

- Match-grade 5" stainless steel barrel with target crown for precision accuracy
- 8+1 capacity with flush-fit magazine in powerful 45 ACP chambering

Range testing demonstrates consistent accuracy with various ammunition weights, from 185-grain target loads to 230-grain defensive rounds. The match-grade barrel and precision trigger make this pistol suitable for competitive shooting, while the robust construction handles extended range sessions without degradation. Weather-resistant finishes protect against corrosion in humid conditions or marine environments.
