What comes in the box and why it matters

This Certified Used package includes three 9-round magazines, the original box, soft case, and owner’s manual — a complete kit for a new owner who wants a turnkey carry platform. The presence of three 9-round magazines supports immediate training sessions and daily carry rotation without additional purchases. The pistol is offered as a Semi Auto in a Certified Used condition, priced at $1,699.99 and backed by a ‘no questions asked’ return policy that adds confidence to the purchase.

Sighting, aiming, and laser integration

The KIMBER RAPIDE ICE OR arrives optics-ready with a threaded barrel and co-witness night sights — a combination that supports both iron-sight redundancy and modern optic solutions. Co-witness night sights allow a red dot (or iron zero) to be used without sacrificing sight picture in low light. The Crimson Trace green laser grips included in the package give a fast, instinctive aiming reference in high-stress or low-visibility scenarios; green lasers retain visibility at longer ranges compared to red in daylight and are favored by many instructors for target acquisition.

Threaded barrel and practical use

A threaded barrel on a compact 1911 platform offers flexibility for suppressor use or the attachment of compensators to manage recoil and muzzle rise. Whether for evolution-style training on the range or mold-specific duty builds, the threaded barrel broadens the pistol’s capability set.

As a Kimber offering, this model sits within a respected lineage of precision-fitted pistols known for good triggers and tight tolerances. The listing notes the Model as Various, indicating possible small configuration differences across inventory; buyers should verify the exact setup on the product page.
