Gold Match models are the finest production 1911 pistols available today. Each wears a classic high polish finish and is fitted with select hand-checkered double diamond rosewood grip panels. Intended for competition as well as carry, they have the Kimber adjustable sight riding low on the slide. The sight blade itself has angled and beveled serrations to deflect glare, and edges are beveled to prevent snags on clothing and holsters.

Premium Aluminum Triggers are set to break clean at 3.5-4 pounds without creep or overtravel. Gold Match pistols have the features of the Custom II models along with a match grade barrel that is carefully machined from a stainless steel forging. Air gauging verifies end-to-end consistency within .001 inch, a final assurance of accuracy.

Following final assembly that includes barrel fitting by hand in the Custom Shop, each pistol is mounted on a special machine that simulates the firing of hundreds of rounds. A Quality Assurance Inspector then measures critical dimensions to ensure everything meets exacting Kimber standards.

Gold Match pistols rival those made by America’s finest pistolsmiths – at about half the price and without waiting a year for delivery.
