Kimber 2k11 Stainless Target *10 Round* 9mm Luger (9x19 Para) 5.0" Barrel 10 Rounds Custom

About this product

Kimber's 2K11 is the company's entry into the double-stack 1911 category, and this listing is the Stainless Target model with a 5-inch barrel in the 10-round magazine configuration built for magazine-capacity-restricted states like California. Priced at $1,789.19, it pairs a full-size target-ready 1911 platform with the higher-capacity magazine well the 2K11 line is built around.

What sets the 2K11 apart from a standard single-stack 1911?

The 2K11 combines a 7075-aluminum alloy grip module, hard-anodized and fitted to a CNC-machined, DLC-coated stainless steel subframe, with a stainless slide, frame, and barrel on this Stainless Target model. That grip module design is what allows the double-stack magazine capacity while keeping the 1911's single-action trigger feel and ergonomics largely intact — a genuine engineering departure from a traditional 1911 frame rather than just a wider single-stack.

What's included for sights and trigger?

This model ships with a TAG FiberLok 2 red fiber-optic front sight paired with an adjustable rear sight, useful for quickly acquiring the sight picture at speed while still allowing precise zero adjustments for different loads or distances. The trigger is Kimber's GT 3-4 lb. adjustable unit — genuinely target/competition grade, and adjustable within that range without needing a gunsmith. The frame also includes an extended beavertail, ambidextrous thumb safety, and a full-length accessory rail for a light or laser.

Why does this listing specify a 10-round configuration?

Kimber's 2K11 Stainless Target normally ships with a 20+1 capacity using 17- and 20-round magazines, but this listing is specifically the 10-round-magazine version Kimber sells for states with magazine capacity limits, including California. That configuration difference is also why this is listed as a distinct SKU from the standard-capacity 2K11 Stainless Target.

What does the subframe design mean for long-term maintenance?

The 2K11's CNC-machined, DLC-coated stainless steel subframe sits inside the aluminum grip module rather than the grip module itself bearing the slide rails and locking surfaces, which is the design choice that lets Kimber offer a double-stack magazine well without sacrificing the durability of a steel-on-steel slide/frame interface. That subframe approach is also what allows for the extended beavertail and ambidextrous thumb safety to be fitted cleanly, giving left-handed shooters full manual-of-arms parity rather than an add-on safety that feels like an afterthought.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Because handgun roster approval in California is model- and configuration-specific, confirm with your FFL that this exact 2K11 Stainless Target 10-round configuration is currently approved for sale to California residents before completing your order. As a firearm, it transfers through your chosen licensed FFL dealer rather than shipping to your home, along with the standard background check and any required waiting period.

For a shooter who wants a genuine competition-grade 1911 trigger with more rounds on tap than a traditional single-stack, the 2K11 Stainless Target is one of the more complete factory packages in this category — provided the roster and magazine details line up for your state. The included accessory rail also means a duty or home-defense light mounts without needing an aftermarket dust-cover swap, something a number of competing 1911-pattern pistols still don't offer from the factory. Owners already invested in 9mm magazines from other Kimber double-stack models should still confirm magazine cross-compatibility before assuming spares interchange, since Kimber has introduced more than one double-stack magazine pattern across the 2K11 line's development.
