The Kimber Custom LW 1911 9mm in FDE is a full-size, lightweight 1911 with a 5-inch match grade stainless barrel and an aluminum frame (brand part no. 3000461). Kimber designs the Custom LW to cut weight without giving up the 1911 layout. The 9mm version feeds from a nine-round magazine, so it combines light recoil with a classic single-action trigger. It is a good fit for range shooters, new 1911 owners and carry enthusiasts who want a lighter pistol than an all-steel gun.
