Kimber Rapide Dawn 9mm 5" 9rd CA Compliant 1911

Kimber designed the Rapide Dawn to deliver premium 1911 performance with California-compliant features and custom styling.

This full-size 1911 is chambered in 9mm and holds 9 rounds. It features a 5-inch match-grade barrel, a sleek two-tone finish, and aggressive slide cuts that enhance both performance and aesthetics. The Rapide Dawn blends function, reliability, and visual appeal into one ready-to-run pistol.

The slide wears a unique silver KimPro II finish with lightening cuts that reduce weight and speed up slide cycling. Deep front and rear serrations give you solid grip for press checks or slide manipulations. The frame features a matte black KimPro II finish and includes a beavertail grip safety for improved recoil control and comfort.

Kimber equips the Rapide Dawn with G10 grips that provide firm texture without being overly aggressive. The grip angle and checkering ensure a natural, locked-in feel. Whether you’re shooting at the range or running drills, this pistol stays planted in your hand.

The trigger is single action and breaks clean with a short, positive reset—ideal for accurate, repeatable shooting. TruGlo TFX Pro day/night sights give you clear visibility in all lighting conditions. The gun ships with one 9 round magazine and meets California DOJ compliance for those in restricted states.

With its bold looks and tuned internals, the Rapide Dawn gives you custom shop quality in a factory built platform. It’s the perfect choice for anyone in California who wants a reliable, competition style 1911 without sacrificing legal compliance.
