KIMBER 1911 Next Gen Custom 9mm 5in 9rd Black Semi-Automatic Pistol (3500401)

The Kimber 1911 Next Gen ships optic-ready with a red dot front sight and a black serrated rear sight, giving shooters a fast-acquiring sight picture whether running the irons alone or adding a compatible red dot to the slide without gunsmithing. An external hammer firing system preserves the traditional 1911 manual of arms, letting experienced shooters thumb-cock or decock the pistol by feel the same way they would on any classic single-action 1911. The skeletonized GT trigger cuts unnecessary mass from the trigger blade while delivering a factory-set pull averaging 4.50 pounds, giving the Next Gen a crisp, consistent break that rewards precise trigger control.

The DLC deep-crown barrel features a diamond-like carbon coating that adds significant surface hardness and wear resistance beyond what a standard stainless or blued barrel offers, while the deep crown protects the rifling at the muzzle from the dings and dents that can degrade accuracy over time. A 1:16 twist rate stabilizes 9mm projectiles through the single, rifled barrel configuration, and the matte black finish across the steel frame and slide gives the Next Gen a uniform, low-glare appearance suited to both daily carry and low-light training. At 36.2 ounces, the pistol carries the substantial steel-frame heft that helps tame recoil and keep the sights on target through repeated strings of fire.

Custom red and black G-10 grips add a distinctive visual accent against the all-black metalwork while providing the aggressive texture and moisture resistance that G-10 composite is known for, giving shooters a secure hold regardless of range conditions. Two included magazines give owners a second single-stack magazine right out of the box, reducing the need for an immediate aftermarket purchase to get a backup on hand
