Frequently Asked Questions

How do you field strip the Kimber 2K11 pistol?

To field strip the Kimber 2K11, first ensure it's unloaded. Remove the magazine, rack the slide, and align the disassembly notch with the slide stop pin. Push the pin out from the left, remove the slide stop lever from the right, and then slide the slide off the frame. Finally, remove the recoil spring, guide rod, and barrel from the slide. Reassembly is the reverse process.

What is unique about the Kimber 2K11's recoil spring system?

The Kimber 2K11 features a proprietary, tool-less recoil spring guide rod system. The guide rod can be pushed forward and rotated downwards to disengage, allowing for easy removal and installation without the need for additional tools, simplifying maintenance.

What kind of extractor does the Kimber 2K11 use?

The Kimber 2K11 utilizes an external extractor, which differs from the internal leaf-spring extractor found on many traditional 1911 pistols. This external system uses a pin and spring, offering a maintenance advantage as it does not require periodic tensioning adjustments.

How is an optic mounted on the Kimber 2K11?

The Kimber 2K11 features a removable rear sight plate that allows for the installation of an RMR-cut optic. The mounting plate uses threaded steel bushings for the optic screws, ensuring durability, and has a slight angle to assist with zeroing the optic.
