Kimber Rapide

The Kimber Rapide is a 1911-family, full-size semi-automatic pistol line from Kimber. Verified factory literature and catalogs describe the Rapide family as featuring stepped cocking serrations, slide lightening cuts, match-grade stainless steel barrels, V-Cut match triggers, Rapide G-10 grip panels and Kimber’s Stiplex front-strap texturing. Rapide models are offered across multiple chamberings (9mm, 10mm and .45 ACP) and, depending on the specific Rapide variant, include features such as flush-fitting extended magwells, full-length guide rods and TruGlo TFX Pro day/night sights. The Rapide series is presented by Kimber and dealers as a target/sport-oriented 1911 platform suitable for range and recreational shooting.
