The Shadow Ghost package was offered for a limited time through major retailers, adding collectability to the proven Custom LW platform. A two-tone KimPro Gray frame and KimPro Black slide give the pistol a distinct, corrosion-resistant finish that stands out without abandoning traditional lines.
Weighing roughly 31 oz unloaded, the aluminum-alloy frame trims notable ounces compared with steel Government models, making this full-size 1911 easier to carry while retaining the long 5-inch sight radius.
A match-grade, bushing-supported stainless barrel with a 1-in-16 LH twist pairs with Kimber’s factory-tuned three-hole aluminum trigger to provide target-level mechanical accuracy. The Series-70 firing system omits a Swartz safety block, keeping the trigger pull clean and straightforward to service.
Sight acquisition is quick thanks to the red fiber-optic front blade and two-dot rear notch, and control surfaces include a beavertail grip safety, single extended thumb safety, and skeletonized rowel hammer—all familiar to 1911 enthusiasts.
