Introducing the Kimber Classic Model Custom, a semi-auto pistol that is both a collector's delight and an efficient tool for personal defense and target shooting. Manufactured in 1997, this .45 ACP caliber firearm is a testament to Kimber's enduring craftsmanship and quality. Despite showing signs of prior use and handling with some bluing loss, nicks, dings, and scratches, its mechanical condition remains in great shape. The slide is notably smooth, indicating the well-maintained operation of this firearm.
The pistol's bore condition is excellent, with a clean mirror finish and no signs of wear. The rifling is sharp, featuring distinctive lands and grooves. The action is SAO (Single Action Only) with a capacity of 8+1. The 5" barrel length, along with the barrel bushing feature, adds to the overall appeal of this classic firearm.
The sights, while a bit worn, consist of a front dovetail night sight and a rear dovetail iron sight with a square notch. Though the front night sight no longer functions, it does not compromise the firearm's performance in day shooting. The gun also comes with Gunsite wood grips, adding a touch of elegance and comfort.
Included in the sale is the original owner's manual, a single 8-round magazine, and the original case, making it an excellent purchase for collectors and enthusiasts. This Kimber classic model custom is a fine example of American firearm manufacturing and a testament to the quality and durability of the Kimber brand. It is a perfect blend of history, performance, and value.
