KIMBER RAPIDE SCORPIUS .45 ACP

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 578154



The Kimber Rapide Scorpius is a modern, semi-custom interpretation of the classic 1911 platform, engineered for the discerning shooter who demands both exceptional performance and bold, distinctive aesthetics. This firearm integrates a suite of competition-grade features into a visually striking package, creating a tool that is as well-suited for defensive carry as it is for being a standout piece in a collection. Chambered in the authoritative .45 ACP, the Rapide Scorpius is a definitive statement in the world of modern 1911 pistols.

Key Design & Performance Features:
Aggressive Slide Machining: The stainless steel slide features stepped cocking serrations and strategically placed lightening cuts. These intricate cuts reduce slide mass, which can contribute to a faster cycling action and reduced muzzle flip, while also providing a positive gripping surface.

Premium Two-Tone Finish: The pistol showcases a durable, self-lubricating black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating on the frame and slide, providing exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion. This is dramatically contrasted by a gold/bronze TiN (Titanium Nitride) coated, match-grade barrel.

Enhanced Ergonomics & Grip: For a superior hold, the pistol features Kimber’s unique Stiplex front strap texturing, which is complemented by aggressively textured, custom Black/Bronze G10 grips. An extended magwell is also included to facilitate faster and more positive magazine changes.


Match-Grade Components: The 5-inch barrel is precision-machined from stainless steel to match-grade tolerances for enhanced accuracy. The V-Cut aluminum trigger is factory-set for a crisp, clean break at approximately 4-5 pounds.

Advanced Sighting System: This model comes standard with Tru-Glo® TFX™ Pro Day/Night Sights. This top-tier sighting system combines bright fiber-optic elements for daylight use with encapsulated tritium vials for visibility in low-light and no-light conditions, offering a 24/7 sight picture.

Ambidextrous Controls: A thumb safety is present on both sides of the frame, providing intuitive and safe operation for all shooters.

Ideal Applications:
This pistol is an excellent choice for the individual seeking a high-performance handgun for concealed carry (CCW), home defense, or as a competitive firearm for Single Stack division shooting events. Its unique styling also makes it highly desirable for the 1911 collector and enthusiast.
