The Kimber 1911 Stainless LW Arctic pistol in .45 ACP with a silver finish (brand part no. 3700593) is a limited-time special offering built on a weight-reducing aluminum frame with a match-grade stainless barrel. Kimber fits a white dot rear sight paired with a red fiber optic front sight, and gray laminate grips with a checkered gripping area provide a positive hold against the contrasting black small parts. The 5-inch match-grade stainless barrel is rifled at a 1-in-16 twist with a black match-grade bushing, and a 3-hole aluminum trigger breaks around 4 to 5 pounds. The pistol carries an 8-round capacity in .45 ACP. Among lightweight-frame semi-auto handguns, this Stainless LW Arctic configuration favors 1911 shooters who want reduced carry weight without giving up match-grade accuracy.
