KIMBER 1911 EL PATRON

Design and build quality

The KIMBER 1911 EL PATRON is a modern take on the classic 1911, offered in the Semi Auto category. Its 5″ barrel and traditional frame geometry deliver the sight radius and stability that shooters expect from a defensive-grade 1911. Kimber’s machining and fitting standards are evident in the tight slide-to-frame fit and crisp single-action trigger break—attributes that translate directly into practical accuracy and controllable follow-up shots.

Key features and tactical considerations

Caliber and capacity

This model is chambered in .38 Super and ships with a 9-round capacity—combining a potent defensive cartridge with above-average magazine capacity for the 1911 platform. The .38 Super offers higher velocity compared to standard .38 ACP-era rounds, providing flatter trajectories and solid terminal performance when paired with quality defensive ammunition.

Finish and presentation

The rose gold engraved finish is more than cosmetic; it reflects Kimber’s premium finishing process and attention to detail. For operators who want a blend of ceremony and function, the engraved surfaces resist corrosion and add resale value while preserving the pistol’s tactical functionality.

At a price of $2,074.99, this handgun sits in Kimber’s premium tier—priced for shooters who prioritize fit, finish, and refined ergonomics.
