Produced by Kimber’s Custom Shop, this Ultra Eclipse II carries distinctive slide markings—“ULTRA ECLIPSE II,” “Kimber,” and “CUSTOM SHOP”—that verify its limited first-run pedigree.
The pistol features a two-tone brushed stainless and matte black oxide finish across the slide and stainless frame. Wide vertical rear serrations and the absence of front serrations maintain the clean Eclipse look.
A match-grade, fully ramped 3-inch bull barrel in stainless steel, cut with a 1:16 left-hand twist, promotes accuracy and durability. The three-hole aluminum trigger breaks at approximately 4.5 pounds, and the skeletonized Commander-style hammer speeds lock time.
Meprolight tritium 3-dot night sights, an ambidextrous thumb safety, beavertail grip safety, and Series II firing-pin safety add functional confidence. Gray/brown laminated hardwood grips in a double-diamond pattern complete the compact, 7+1-round .45 ACP platform.
