Kimber Announces Release of New Next Generation of 1911

Kimber Mfg. has released four new models of the highly anticipated Next Generation of 1911.

Capitalizing on the remarkable success of the new 2K11, Kimber has integrated several of the key features from this platform into their Next Generation of 1911. The storied brand has also embarked on a new era of manufacturing and has elevated the expectations of performance handguns built one hundred percent in the USA. These new introductions are optics ready and feature an external extractor, different from the legacy internal design features on Kimber 1911’s for over 30 years. This, plus the clean and crisp GT Trigger found on the 2K11 delivers a new level of reliability and performance from the next generation of Kimber firearms. These additional features plus the multi faced top strap from the 2K11 enhance reliability and aesthetics.

Kimber utilized the latest CNC technology to create precise slide to frame fitment that help promote very clean and modern aesthetics and give buyers highly customized attributes on their handgun right out of the box. All of this comes together to promote a reliable shooting experience and provide peace of mind that your Kimber will perform when needed every single time. All models of the New Next Generation Kimber 1911 will ship with two magazines as well as a Trijicon RMR footprint optics plate. To highlight this exciting introduction, a first production limited edition of 500 pieces will be produced to commemorate this new lineup.

Pedi Gega – Director of Product Development and assembly and finishing stated: “The 2K11 has been so successful, that our customers have asked us to implement the same features into a family of Next Generation 1911’s, so we listened, and we answered. I am extremely excited about introducing this product because we are elevating our performance across two categories now creating a renaissance for Kimber. We believe that the 1911 family platform will continue to be an anchor within our industry, and we are happy to provide our next generation models of the 1911 to a new generation of marksman.”

The New Next Generation 1911 will be available in two finish options, Two-tone and Stainless. Both introductions are available in 9mm as well as .45 ACP. For more information on the Next Gen 1911, or other premium firearms, please visit kimberamerica.com.
