KIMBER MICRO 9 RAPIDE DAWN 9MM 3.15" 7-RD SEMI-AUTO PISTOL

Description

The Kimber Micro 9 RAPIDE Dawn Model 3300230 is a premium compact 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol that combines Kimber’s lightweight Micro 9 platform with the performance-oriented features and distinctive styling of the RAPIDE series. It features a 3.15-inch barrel, 7+1 capacity, aluminum frame, KimPro II Silver finish, TiN-coated barrel, slide lightening cuts, TruGlo TFX Pro day/night sights, and gray/black G10 grips. Davidson’s identifies this exact firearm as 3300230 / UPC 669278332307.

The RAPIDE Dawn is distinguished from standard Micro 9 configurations by several functional and cosmetic upgrades. Kimber incorporates stepped cocking serrations and slide lightening cuts, which reduce slide mass while creating the distinctive RAPIDE appearance. A flush-fitting magwell and Kimber’s Stiplex front-strap pattern provide additional grip and handling enhancements.

Model 3300230 is chambered in 9mm Luger and uses a 3.15-inch rifled barrel with a 1:16 twist. The barrel receives a contrasting TiN coating, which Kimber highlights for increased durability while also giving the pistol its signature bronze/gold barrel appearance through the RAPIDE slide cuts.

The pistol uses a lightweight aluminum frame finished in KimPro II Silver with a matching silver-finished stainless-steel slide. Brushed/polished slide flats and strategically placed lightening cuts give the Dawn a premium two-tone metallic appearance. Kimber's current catalog confirms Model 3300230 as the Micro 9 RAPIDE Dawn with a 15.6-ounce listed factory weight.

For sighting, Kimber equips the RAPIDE Dawn with premium TruGlo TFX Pro day/night sights front and rear. These sights combine fiber-optic visibility in daylight with tritium illumination in low-light conditions, giving the pistol a versatile sighting system without requiring an electronic optic.

The pistol is fitted with distinctive gray-and-black RAPIDE G10 grips, complemented by the Stiplex-patterned front strap. Together with the flush-fitting magwell, these features provide additional texture and control while maintaining the Micro 9’s slim profile.

Like other Micro 9 pistols, the RAPIDE Dawn uses an external-hammer firing system, manual safety, and single-stack magazine. Capacity is 7+1 rounds, and Davidson’s lists one magazine with this configuration. Overall length is only 6.1 inches, keeping the pistol compact despite its extensive premium features.

The Kimber Micro 9 RAPIDE Dawn 3300230 stands out as one of the more visually distinctive Micro 9 configurations, combining a TiN-coated barrel, lightened RAPIDE slide, TruGlo TFX Pro sights, G10 grips, aluminum frame, and compact 7+1 format. Davidson’s currently lists an MSRP of $1,085.00.
