The Kimber 1911 Next Generation Two-Tone Model 3200400 is a full-size .45 Auto semi-automatic pistol that combines classic 1911 styling with several modern performance upgrades carried over from Kimber's 2K11 platform. It features a 5-inch barrel, 7+1 capacity, steel frame, stainless finish, matte-black KimPro II slide, optic-ready configuration, external extractor, GT Trigger, and premium black walnut grips with G10 inlays.
Kimber specifically designed this next-generation model to retain the traditional character of a full-size single-stack 1911 while incorporating features expected on a modern premium pistol. The optic-ready slide ships with an RMR adapter plate, giving shooters the flexibility to configure the pistol with a compatible red-dot optic while maintaining the classic 1911 platform.
The pistol uses a 5-inch rifled barrel with a 1:16 twist rate and feeds from traditional single-stack 7-round magazines. Davidson's lists the pistol with two magazines included, providing a factory capacity of 7+1 rounds of .45 Auto.
Internally, Kimber incorporates a sloped disconnector ramp and its performance-oriented GT Trigger system. According to Kimber's product description supplied through Davidson's, these changes are intended to provide match-grade performance while preserving the familiar operating characteristics of the 1911. The pistol uses an external hammer and traditional manual safety.
Model 3200400's two-tone appearance comes from its stainless-steel frame paired with a matte-black KimPro II slide. Front and rear slide serrations provide additional gripping surfaces for slide manipulation, while the black walnut grips with G10 inlays give the pistol a premium appearance that complements the contrasting slide and frame.
At 8.6 inches overall and 36.2 ounces, the Kimber 1911 Next Generation Two-Tone maintains the substantial feel and balance expected from a full-size steel-frame 1911. For shooters looking for traditional .45 Auto performance with modern optics capability and upgraded internal components, Model 3200400 offers a strong combination of classic design and contemporary features.
