The Kimber 1911 DS Warrior LW in 9mm (Kimber part no. 3600302) is the lightweight, high-capacity 1911 from Kimber, built around a 5-inch stainless barrel. Its aluminum sub-frame holds the weight to 28 ounces, and the optic-ready slide ships with a standard C&H RMR mounting plate. A night sight rides up front with a TAG cover plate and fixed rear sight. The 17/20-round capacity and carbon fiber grip module make this a fast, easy-handling pistol for range days and competition.
