The Kimber 1911 Independence pistol in .45 ACP with a custom flag-themed Cerakote finish and 5-inch barrel (brand part no. 3700840) is Kimber’s latest commemorative edition and the first compensated special edition, a testament to the July 4th holiday. Kimber builds the Independence with a patent-pending proprietary compensator, slide lightening cuts, and a port along the forward top strap to reduce muzzle rise. Racing serrations at the rear of the slide mimic the movement of the flag design that adorns the pistol, and front Hi-Viz single-dot and rear Hi-Viz 2-dot sights support fast target acquisition. An ambidextrous thumb safety and single-action trigger round out this limited-edition 1911. Among commemorative semi-auto handguns, this Independence configuration favors collectors and shooters who want a distinctive, compensated 1911.
