Why the KIMBER CUSTOM CDP II *CA COMPLIANT* stands out

The CDP label means Kimber integrated high-value carry features during production, reducing aftermarket costs by over $600 versus adding upgrades later. That built-in value delivers a pistol ready for service use out of the box while keeping retail pricing competitive at $1,128.99.

Frame, finish, and build quality

The aluminum frame lightens carry weight without sacrificing rigidity. The two-tone black and satin stainless finish is corrosion-resistant and provides an understated tactical appearance that reduces glare while preserving durability for daily carry and range use.

Night sights and aiming systems

Equipped with Meprolight 3-dot tritium night sights, the pistol is optimized for low-light target acquisition. Tritium sights provide a self-luminous aiming reference without batteries, making them ideal for home defense or professional use where lighting conditions can change rapidly.

.45 ACP: performance and applications

Chambered in .45 ACP, this model balances stopping power with manageable recoil when paired with proper grip and training. The caliber favors close-quarters defensive scenarios and controlled follow-up shots, especially when paired with the CDP’s ergonomic controls and sighting package.

As a Semi Auto designated firearm in Kimber’s lineup (Model: Various), the CUSTOM CDP II offers proven reliability in a configuration tuned for defensive roles.
