About the Kimber KHX Custom
The Kimber KHX Custom is a full-size, single-action, hammer-fired semi-automatic pistol built on the classic 1911 platform. Part of Kimber's KHX series introduced in 2018, the Custom features a 5-inch match-grade barrel, a stainless steel frame and slide with a DLC/KimPro II finish, a stippled and laser-engraved G10 grip set, a frame-mounted accessory rail, distinctive stepped cocking and flat-top slide serrations, and TruGlo TFX Pro day/night sights. It is offered in 9mm and .45 ACP, with optics-ready (OI) configurations available.
The KHX series debuted in 2018 as Kimber's modern, full-featured take on the 1911, distinguished by its stippled G10 grips, stepped slide serrations and integrated accessory rail aimed at the competition and tactical carry market.
