Kimber Mfg.,inc 3000439 Rapide 9mm 5.5" 10-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol

The Kimber Mfg., Inc. 3000439 Rapide 9mm 5.5" 10-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol is purpose-built for shooters who demand reliability, accuracy, and ergonomic control in a modern 1911 platform. This stainless steel 1911 variant combines classic 1911 geometry with contemporary enhancements designed for tactical applications, law enforcement duty, and competitive shooting. The 5.5-inch barrel length and 10-round magazine capacity deliver a balance of concealability and firepower suited to both duty use and personal defense scenarios where capacity restrictions apply.

Built from stainless steel throughout, the Rapide resists corrosion and requires less frequent maintenance than blued alternatives—critical for field work and storage in variable conditions. The 5.5-inch barrel strikes an operational sweet spot: it maintains velocity and sight radius advantage over compact variants while remaining manageable in confined spaces and vehicle-based carry. The 10-round magazine reflects modern capacity standards while maintaining the slim, concealable profile the 1911 platform is known for. Kimber's manufacturing standards ensure tight tolerances, reliable feeding across quality ammunition brands, and consistent shot placement at tactical distances.

This model benefits law enforcement officers, military personnel, armed security professionals, and civilian shooters who prioritize proven 1911 ergonomics with modern capacity. The stainless construction suits duty carry and training environments where weather exposure is routine. Compatibility with standard 1911 aftermarket triggers, grips, and holster systems means you can customize fit and performance to your specific mission profile. At 4.52 lbs, the Rapide provides substantial weight for recoil management without sacrificing day-long carry comfort, making it equally at home in a duty belt, shoulder rig, or retention holster.
