The Kimber Aegis is a series of M1911 pistols chambered in 9mm Luger as well as .45 ACP and is manufactured by Kimber Manufacturing.It includes the subcompact Ultra Aegis II, the compact Pro Aegis II, and the full-sized Custom Aegis II. The Aegis has an aluminum frame, a black steel slide with a flat top, fluted rosewood grips or crimson trace laser grips, and tritium night sights.
Kimber was founded with the singular purpose of building fine sporting firearms, better even than classics from the golden age of American gunmaking. Modern manufacturing techniques would be embraced and used to advantage; but assembly, fit and finish could only depend on practiced hands. There would be no compromise in features, materials or performance.
