The Kimber 2K11 OR Model 3500051 is a full-size, double-stack 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol built around Kimber’s performance-focused 2K11 platform. It features a 5-inch barrel, 17+1 / 20+1 capacity, stainless-steel frame, Black DLC finish, optics-ready configuration, match-grade trigger, Stan Chen Custom magwell, and three included magazines.
Designed as Kimber’s high-capacity evolution of the traditional 1911, the 2K11 incorporates an enhanced sub-frame engineered for improved magazine fit and shooter control. The double-stack magazine system substantially increases capacity while retaining the familiar single-action controls and ergonomics associated with the 1911 platform.
Model 3500051 is chambered in 9mm Luger and uses a 5-inch rifled barrel with a 1:10 twist. The full-size configuration measures 8.56 inches overall and weighs 40.9 ounces, providing the substantial, stable feel expected from a steel-frame competition-oriented pistol.
The pistol's stainless-steel frame receives a durable Black DLC finish, while Davidson's describes the slide as brush polished with DLC coating. Front and rear slide serrations provide additional gripping surfaces for slide manipulation, and an external extractor contributes to the 2K11's modernized design.
A major feature of the 2K11 is Kimber's patent-pending tool-less guide rod, designed to simplify disassembly and maintenance. The pistol also uses Kimber's precision-machined trigger system; Davidson's lists an average pull weight of approximately 3.5 pounds, while Kimber's product description specifies a 3–4 lb. range with a clean, crisp break.
Model 3500051 is equipped with a TAG Precision Fixed FiberLok 2 front sight and an optics-ready slide for configuring the pistol with a compatible red-dot sight. A full-length Picatinny accessory rail provides mounting capability for compatible lights and other accessories.
The pistol features matte anodized aluminum grips, an ambidextrous thumb safety, external hammer-fired operating system, and a premium Stan Chen Custom magwell for faster, more consistent reloads. It ships with three double-stack magazines and supports both 17+1 and 20+1 capacities.
With its combination of Black DLC construction, double-stack capacity, optics capability, tool-less guide rod, premium trigger and competition-oriented controls, the Kimber 2K11 OR 3500051 is a high-performance option for range use, competition and shooters looking for Kimber's modern interpretation of the double-stack 1911.
