Key Features
- Optics-Ready Slide with RMR Footprint — WHY IT MATTERS: Mount your favorite micro red dot directly without adapter plates, giving you faster target acquisition and a lower bore axis for better recoil control.
- Fluted and Crowned 4.25-Inch Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Fluting reduces weight and aids cooling during extended strings, while the crown protects the rifling and improves accuracy shot after shot.
- Kimber GT Match Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: A crisp, clean 3.5–4.0 lb break (verified by multiple shooters) lets you call your shots precisely, whether you’re running drills or competing.
- Toolless Guide Rod Design — WHY IT MATTERS: Field stripping for cleaning or spring swaps takes seconds, no tools needed — less downtime, more shooting.
- Ambidextrous Controls — WHY IT MATTERS: Left-handed or right-handed, you get a thumb safety and slide release that work for you, making this pistol truly ambi-ready out of the box.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for the shooter who wants a high-capacity 1911 that runs optics, without sacrificing the classic feel or reliability. It fits competition shooters in USPSA or IDPA, serious range enthusiasts who demand accuracy, and anyone who appreciates a modernized 1911 platform with a 19+1 capacity. If you’re looking for a suppressor-ready host, the 4.25-inch barrel and 1/2×28 threads (per Kimber specs) make it ready for your favorite can.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: High capacity (19+1), optics-ready out of the box, match-grade trigger, tool-less maintenance, ambi controls, coyote Cerakote finish resists wear.
- Cons: The grip safety can feel stiff for some shooters during initial break-in (a common 1911 trait). Also, the price point puts it in premium territory, but you get a pistol that’s ready to compete without aftermarket work.

| Caliber | 9mm | 9mm | 9mm |
| Capacity | 19+1 | 18+1 | 15+1 |

Compared to the Zev OZ9c, the Kimber offers a traditional 1911 grip angle and a higher capacity. The Agency AOS Glock 19 is a proven platform, but the Kimber gives you a metal frame and a match trigger that most Glocks need aftermarket work to match. All three are premium options, but the Kimber’s 19+1 capacity and toolless design stand out.
FAQ
Does the Kimber 2K11 Pro Coyote come with optics mounting plates?
No, the slide is cut directly for the RMR footprint (Trijicon RMR, SRO, Holosun 407C/507C, etc.). You do not need adapter plates. If your optic uses a different footprint, you may need a separate adapter plate or a custom mill.
What magazines are included, and are they interchangeable with other 1911s?
The pistol includes two 19-round steel magazines. These are Kimber-specific 2K11 magazines and are not interchangeable with standard 1911 mags due to the double-stack design. Extra mags can be purchased from Kimber or aftermarket sources like Checkmate.
Can I use a suppressor with the Kimber 2K11 Pro Coyote?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 1/2×28 (per Kimber specs). Use a suppressor-rated piston and your 9mm can. The 4.25-inch barrel length keeps the overall package manageable with a suppressor attached.
Is the trigger adjustable?
The Kimber GT Match trigger is not user-adjustable. It is set at the factory to a 3.5–4.0 lb pull weight. Many shooters find it crisp and clean out of the box. If you need adjustment, a qualified gunsmith can modify it.
What is the warranty on the Kimber 2K11 Pro Coyote?
Kimber provides a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty details are included in the box; register your firearm on Kimber’s website for full coverage.
