Kimber Classic Stainless Pre-Series II 1911 .45 ACP, 5" Match-Grade Barrel
This late-1990s Kimber Classic Stainless comes from the limited Yonkers, NY pre-Series II run, making it desirable to shooters who prefer a 1911 without a firing-pin block. A match-grade stainless barrel, clean 4-pound trigger, and bead-blasted finish combine modern performance with the traditional 1911 feel.

Built before Kimber adopted the Series II firing-pin safety, this pistol retains the Classic line’s original internals, valued for their simple, crisp trigger pull. The skeletonized three-hole trigger averages a clean 4-pound break.
A government-length 5" match-grade barrel and fitted bushing deliver tight lock-up and notable mechanical accuracy. Both are stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life.
The matte bead-blasted slide wears forward and rear cocking serrations, giving solid purchase for administrative checks. A skeletonized commander-style hammer and beavertail grip safety support reliable operation with a high, comfortable hold.
Fixed combat sights—dovetail front blade and low-mount rear notch—offer a clear, snag-free sight picture. Black synthetic double-diamond grip panels complete the classic 1911 profile while standing up to hard use.
