The slide is marked "CUSTOM TLE II" and the frame is marked "KIMBER YONKERS, NY USA," aligning with the model’s law-enforcement lineage. Its government-size configuration uses a 5-inch barrel with a traditional barrel bushing, delivering the classic 1911 format in a matte black finish.
Ergonomics are purpose-driven: 30 LPI front-strap checkering and a checkered mainspring housing provide a secure grip, while an extended beavertail grip safety with a raised memory pad supports a consistent high hold. Black synthetic double-diamond panels complete the grip setup.
The controls and sighting system are straightforward and duty-focused. It has fixed 3-dot sights (white-dot front and low-mount 2-dot rear) and both front and rear cocking serrations for positive slide manipulation.
The single-action, short-recoil, locked-breech system is paired with a match-grade aluminum 3-hole trigger featuring an over-travel screw, and a skeletonized commander-style hammer. Safety features include a manual thumb safety, grip safety, and a Swartz-type firing pin safety. Capacity is 7+1 with the included magazines.
