The Kimber Rapide Dawn 10mm 1911 pistol features unique enhancements such as slide lightening cuts for faster locking times, stepped cocking serrations, a TiN coated barrel for long-lasting durability, and a V-cut match-grade trigger. The Rapide Dawn has a crisp 4-5 lb trigger pull and also features Tru-Glo TFX Pro Day/Night sights. The Rapide Dawn 1911 features Kimber Stiplex front strap texturing, as well as Grey/Black G10 Rapide grips, for maximum control of the firearm. The Dawn features a KimPro II Grip finish for additional resistance to corrosion in the harshest environments. As Part of the Kimber Custom line, the barrel is machined from stainless steel to critical match grade dimensions. A match grade chamber hand-fitted to the slide, frame, and bushings complete its true accuracy potential. In addition, the slide is lowered and the flared ejection port aids the brass extract during the ejection process. A match-grade trigger with a clean and crisp break inspires maximum confidence and accuracy while the commander style hammer was specifically designed to not snag.
