Long-slide 1911s are a specialist’s choice for controlled, accurate shooting at the range. Their extended sight radius and added mass produce a stable platform for precision work, and the right build quality makes all the difference for competitive and serious recreational shooters.

KIMBER TARGET

The KIMBER TARGET is a purpose-built stainless long-slide 1911 chambered in .45ACP and finished in Satin Silver. Kimber’s reputation for high-end 1911 manufacturing carries through here: the 6-inch slide and barrel are milled from solid stainless steel to critical match-grade dimensions, delivering consistent barrel lockup and repeatable shot placement.

Design and Key Features

Kimber selected components on the KIMBER TARGET to prioritize precision. The 6-inch match-grade barrel and slide machining reduce variances associated with accuracy. Adjustable fiber-optic sights provide vivid front sight acquisition in daylight, and the aluminum trigger is tuned to a crisp 4.0–5.0 pound pull for controlled breaks. Classic checkered rosewood grips add an elegant tactile interface while the Satin Silver finish resists corrosion and looks refined on the line.

Why .45ACP Works Here

.45ACP remains prized for its balance of momentum and manageable recoil when paired with a long-slide 1911. The added weight and longer barrel of the KIMBER TARGET soften muzzle rise and improve sight recovery between shots—ideal for precision drills, bullseye, and slow-fire competitive stages.

Range Performance

The extended sight radius is the single biggest advantage for target work: small sighting errors translate to smaller point-of-impact shifts at common target distances. The match-grade barrel mills and stainless construction contribute to consistent chambering and extraction, while the tuned 4.0–5.0 lb trigger promotes tighter groups without excessive trigger stacking. For shooters prioritizing deliberate, accurate fire, this configuration performs well during extended range sessions.
