Kimber Gold Combat II Features

Construction

Made from stainless steel, the Gold Combat II is strong and resistant to rust. Kimber uses a specific blend with more carbon, so it is easier to machine but slightly less rust-resistant than brands like Colt or Springfield. Still, it’s durable enough for regular use, whether at the range or for self-defense.

Barrel

With a match-grade barrel, this pistol is all about accuracy. It’s built with tighter tolerances, meaning better shot consistency, especially at varying distances.

Sights

It comes with adjustable night sights, perfect for shooting in low-light situations. These sights help you quickly and accurately find your target, making it great for defense or competition.

Finish

The two-tone finish—a polished stainless slide with a matte frame—gives it a cool look. The matte finish helps reduce glare while aiming, while the polished parts offer extra rust protection if properly maintained.

Grip

The custom G10 grips are tough and provide excellent traction, giving you a solid hold even in tough conditions. They’re also ergonomically designed, so they feel comfortable even during long shooting sessions.

Trigger

Our favorite thing about the Gold Combat II is its match-grade trigger. It’s got a smooth pull and minimal creep. This makes shooting more precise and enjoyable, giving you better accuracy and control.

Conclusion

The Kimber Gold Combat II is a real treat for anyone who loves a finely tuned 1911. It’s got the accuracy and performance to impress on the range, and the looks to make it stand out in any collection. Sure, it comes with a higher price tag, but you’re getting a whole lot of bang for your buck, literally. It’s one of those pistols that just feels right in your hands, making it hard to put down!
