The Kimber Rampart 9mm is a compensated 1911 built on a stainless steel frame and slide finished in Custom OD Green Cerakote (brand part no. 3000467). A patent-pending toolless compensator and a ported channel on the top strap forward of the ejection port work together to reduce felt recoil, so the 9mm stays level through rapid strings. Slide lightening cuts and racing-style rear serrations give it a purposeful look, and HIVIZ sights make the front dot easy to find. It is a flat-shooting range pistol for shooters who want a 1911 with a modern recoil-control package. Kimber builds it with a match-grade stainless steel barrel.
