The Kimber Stainless Target 1911 Model 3000373 is a long-slide .45 ACP single-action pistol designed for target shooting and shooters who want the increased sight radius and balance of a 6-inch 1911. Davidson’s identifies this exact SKU as the Stainless Target 1911, chambered in .45 Auto with a 6-inch barrel and 7+1 capacity.
Model 3000373 is part of Kimber’s Stainless Target (LS) series, with “LS” denoting the long-slide configuration. Kimber introduced this version with a 6-inch barrel to provide increased inherent accuracy and a longer sight radius compared with a conventional 5-inch Government-size 1911. Kimber’s catalog lists the pistol at 42 ounces, giving it the substantial feel and stability expected from a steel target pistol.
At the heart of the pistol is a 6-inch match-grade stainless-steel barrel. Kimber states that the chamber and barrel are machined from solid stainless steel to critical match-grade dimensions. The additional barrel and slide length contribute to the pistol’s target-oriented configuration.
The Stainless Target LS is built around stainless-steel construction, giving the pistol a classic satin-stainless appearance while providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Kimber specifically distinguishes its full-size Stainless models as being built entirely from stainless steel, unlike the lightweight aluminum frames used on its Pro and Ultra variants.
For sighting, the Stainless Target LS features a fiber-optic front sight for fast sight acquisition. Its long-slide configuration provides an extended sight radius, making the pistol particularly well suited for deliberate target shooting and range use.
Kimber equips the pistol with its match-grade trigger, which the company's catalog specifies as breaking cleanly at approximately 4–5 pounds. Traditional rosewood grips featuring the Kimber logo complement the stainless finish and maintain the classic appearance expected from a premium 1911.
With its combination of a 6-inch match-grade barrel, all-stainless construction, 42-ounce weight, fiber-optic sight and match-grade trigger, the Kimber Stainless Target LS 3000373 is a distinctive long-slide .45 ACP designed primarily around accuracy and range performance. Davidson's currently lists an MSRP of $1,259.00.
