The Kimber Custom LW 1911 in 9mm is a lightweight, single-action 1911 with a 5-inch barrel and a Ranger Green finish (brand part no. 3000465). Its machined aluminum frame cuts carry weight compared with an all-steel 1911, so it weighs about 29 ounces. Fixed three-dot sights, a thumb safety and a grip safety give it the familiar 1911 controls. Black textured grip panels round out the two-tone look.
