Leave nothing to chance. Kimber CDP—Custom Defense Package—pistols combine the most popular carry features into a package that gives them their name. Adding these features while the pistols are being built in the Custom Shop reduces their price by over $500 and gives them their incredible value.

CDP pistols have it all. Night sights, ambidextrous thumb safety and 30-lines-per-inch checkering on the front strap and under the trigger guard. Match grade barrel, stainless steel slide and double diamond rosewood grips. They even have a 7075-T7 aluminum frame with KimPro II finish and Carry melt treatment for rounded and blended edges that will not snag.

Kimber makes the finest 1911 pistols manufactured today, and nowhere is quality more important than in a pistol carried for personal defense.
