Description

Experience the perfect blend of heritage, performance, and modern design with the Kimber 1911 Custom LW Shadow Ghost.

Whether you’re heading to the range, training for defense, or simply appreciating a finely tuned handgun, the Shadow Ghost delivers precision and style in a lightweight configuration.

Product Overview

The Kimber Custom LW Shadow Ghost is built on a lightweight aluminum frame, finished in a rugged KimPro II gray for improved wear resistance. This makes it lighter than traditional steel-frame 1911s, enhancing comfort for extended carry without compromising durability. The steel slide is finished in matte black for a sleek, low-profile look and features precision serrations for superior grip during slide manipulation.

The 5-inch match-grade barrel and match-grade trigger ensure superior accuracy right out of the box, while the fiber optic front sight and white dot rear sight provide rapid target acquisition in all lighting conditions. Designed with ergonomics and control in mind, the pistol is equipped with rubber grips featuring aggressive diamond texturing that offer a firm and comfortable hold during rapid or prolonged shooting.
