The CNC Firearms CNCELREY Kimber 1911 El Rey Full Size Frame in .38 Super represents a precision-engineered handgun built on the proven 1911 platform. This full-size frame pistol combines match-grade construction with custom cosmetics, delivering a firearm optimized for serious shooters who demand both performance and distinctive aesthetics. The 7+1 capacity pairs the single-stack reliability of the 1911 with caliber selection that offers a midpoint between 9mm velocity and .45 ACP power.
The 5-inch barrel delivers optimal velocity from the .38 Super cartridge while maintaining the handling characteristics shooters expect from a full-size 1911. Finished in blue PVD stainless steel, the barrel resists corrosion in demanding environments while offering a refined appearance. The rose gold PVD-coated serrated slide and frame combination balances visual distinction with functional edge grip, which aids positive manipulation during high-stress manipulations. Black Kirinite presentation grips provide ergonomic control and aesthetic contrast to the metal finishes. The overall weight of 3.94 lbs situates this firearm in the traditional 1911 full-size range, promoting manageable recoil impulse and shot-to-shot recovery while maintaining sufficient mass for smooth cycling.
This pistol is engineered for shooters pursuing competition use, personal defense with commercial ammunition, or dedicated range training where .38 Super ballistics and 1911-platform familiarity matter. The El Rey configuration targets operators who value hand-tuned reliability and custom finish work without sacrificing the modular ecosystem and aftermarket support the 1911 platform provides. CNC Firearms' manufacturing standard ensures tight tolerances and consistent quality across critical wear surfaces.
The .38 Super cartridge historically served law enforcement and competitive shooters where velocity and barrier penetration requirements favored a hotter cartridge. Today, it appeals to shooters who understand the ballistic profile and have developed the reloading or commercial ammunition sourcing infrastructure to support this caliber. The full-size 1911 remains a reference platform for ergonomic design, mechanical simplicity, and proven performance under sustained fire or tactical scenarios.
