The Kimber 2K11 Target OR Model 3500053 is a premium, competition-focused 9mm Luger double-stack 1911-style pistol built around Kimber's flagship 2K11 platform. It features a 5-inch barrel, 20+1 capacity, Coyote Brown PVD-coated stainless-steel frame, adjustable target sights, GT Trigger, Stan Chen Customs® magwell, aluminum grips, and three included magazines.
The Target OR configuration takes the standard 2K11 and adds several features aimed specifically at competition and precision shooting. Kimber equips the pistol with its enhanced sub-frame for improved magazine fit and control, a Stan Chen Customs magwell, Picatinny accessory rail, and the company's patent-pending tool-less guide rod system.
Model 3500053 is chambered in 9mm Luger and uses a 5-inch rifled barrel with a 1:10 twist. Overall length is 8.56 inches, while the substantial 42.3-ounce weight helps provide the stable shooting characteristics expected from a full-size steel-frame target pistol.
One of the most distinctive elements of this model is its finish. The stainless-steel frame receives a Coyote Brown PVD coating, while the slide uses a brush-polished PVD treatment. The resulting black-and-brown appearance sets the Target model apart from the standard Black DLC 2K11 configurations.
For sighting, Kimber pairs a TAG Precision Fixed FiberLok 2 front sight with an adjustable target rear sight. The Target OR configuration is designed for shooters who want to add their preferred compatible optic rather than purchasing the factory optic-included Target OI configuration.
The pistol uses Kimber's GT Trigger, with Davidson's listing an average trigger pull of approximately 3.5 pounds. Kimber describes the system as having a nominal 3–4 lb. pull and being precision-machined for a clean, crisp break.
Additional features include hardcoat-anodized aluminum grips, front and rear slide serrations, external extractor, ambidextrous thumb safety, external hammer-fired action, Picatinny accessory rail, and double-stack magazine system. Model 3500053 ships with three magazines and has a factory-listed 20+1 capacity.
With its combination of 20+1 capacity, adjustable target sights, Coyote Brown PVD finish, GT Trigger, Stan Chen magwell, and optics capability, the Kimber 2K11 Target OR 3500053 is one of the most competition-oriented configurations in the 2K11 lineup.
