Kimber Custom Shop Pre-Series II Custom CDP .45 ACP 1911 Pistol – Two-Tone, Match-Grade 5” Barrel
This early-production Kimber Custom Shop Custom CDP is a pre-Series II full-size 1911 built for defensive carry and match-grade accuracy. It features Kimber’s Carry-Melt de-horn, a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, and a satin silver slide for a striking two-tone look. Factory night sights, premium checkering, and Wilson Combat double-diamond wood grips add performance and style that set this pistol apart from later Series II models.

The pre-Series II designation means this pistol lacks the later firing-pin safety, giving the trigger a clean, consistent break enhanced by Kimber’s skeletonized aluminum match trigger.
Kimber’s Carry-Melt treatment rounds every sharp edge for snag-free draw while preserving the classic 1911 profile. Combined with the 30 lpi frontstrap and under-trigger-guard checkering, the pistol offers secure control without discomfort.
A match-grade 5-inch stainless steel barrel and bushing, paired with a full-length guide rod, deliver tight lock-up and repeatable accuracy. The slide wears diagonal front and rear cocking serrations for reliable manipulation, and low-profile tritium 3-dot sights provide clear sight pictures in varied light.
The matte black aluminum alloy frame keeps weight to roughly 31 ounces unloaded, making this full-size .45 ACP easier to carry all day. Wilson Combat double-diamond checkered wood grip panels with gold medallions complete the package with a classic aesthetic and positive purchase.
