Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Kimber Rampart a soft-shooting .45 ACP?

The Kimber Rampart is designed to be a soft-shooting .45 ACP primarily due to its integrated compensator. This device redirects propellant gases upwards, effectively counteracting muzzle rise and reducing felt recoil for the shooter.

How do you remove the compensator from the Kimber Rampart?

To remove the compensator, first field strip the pistol. Then, push down on the spring-loaded piece on the compensator. This releases the spring cap, allowing you to unscrew the compensator from the barrel by turning it counter-clockwise.

What are the key features of the Kimber Rampart?

The Kimber Rampart features an OD green Cerakote finish, G10 grips with aggressive texturing, High Viz fiber optic sights, an ambidextrous thumb safety, and a 5-inch barrel with a recoil-reducing compensator. It also includes accessories for using it without the compensator.

What is the price range for the Kimber Rampart?

The Kimber Rampart has an approximate MSRP around $1,500. It is positioned as a more affordable option compared to other premium 1911 models from Kimber, such as the Independence 1911, often available for a couple of hundred dollars less.
