The Kimber Custom LW is a lightweight 1911-style pistol chambered in 9mm with a 5-inch barrel and FDE finish (Kimber part no. 3000461). Kimber built the Custom LW on the classic 1911 platform, but engineered it with an aluminum frame for lighter, more comfortable all-day carry without sacrificing the crisp trigger and natural pointability 1911 shooters expect. With a 9+1 capacity and 3-dot sights, it delivers dependable performance for range work, competition, or daily defensive carry in a package that’s noticeably lighter than a traditional steel-frame 1911.
