The Kimber Custom LW Liberty in .45 ACP is a lightweight aluminum-frame 1911 finished in KimPro Black (brand part no. 3000500). It rides on a 5-inch stainless match grade barrel with a black match grade bushing, and Anka grips round out the look. The aluminum frame keeps weight down to 31.2 ounces empty, which helps on a long carry day. Kimber fits a 3-hole aluminum trigger with a 4 to 5 pound factory setting. It holds 7 rounds in the magazine and suits both range work and daily carry.
