The Kimber 1911 Rapide Heat pistol in .45 ACP with a 5.5-inch threaded barrel and black finish (brand part no. 3000438) pairs a black DLC-coated threaded barrel with a 1/2×28 thread pitch, giving shooters suppressor compatibility on a performance-tuned 1911. Kimber finishes the slide in KimPro II black and makes it optics ready, and black and red pattern G10 grips pair with white dot sights for a confident, fast sight picture. A Picatinny rail, KimPro II red aluminum V-Cut trigger, and Stiplex front strap texturing round out the build, which ships with one 8-round magazine. Among threaded-barrel semi-auto handguns, this Rapide Heat configuration favors shooters who want suppressor-ready 1911 performance.
