Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black – Superb Compensated Competition Pistol

Description

The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black pairs a short 4.25 inch compensated barrel with a fully adjustable rear sight, which is the combination for a shooter who wants speed between targets and a real iron sight system behind the optic. Two nineteen round magazines, a three to four pound match trigger and DLC finishes throughout complete the package. MAG5 Firearms stocks the Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black for competitors who want both options open.

Adjustable Irons Behind The Dot

The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black adjustable rear is what separates it from the fixed sight version of the same pistol. A shooter who wants to zero irons independently of the optic, or who competes in a division that occasionally requires them, gets a full sighting system rather than a cover plate with a fiber insert.

Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black flexibility costs a little height and adds a moving part, which is why the fixed version exists alongside it. Neither choice is wrong. It depends entirely on whether the irons are a genuine backup that gets used or a formality behind a dot that never comes off.

The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black front sight works with either rear. Red and black fiber inserts ship with the pistol so a shooter can match the front sight color to the range lighting and to their own eyes, which matters more than most shooters expect once they try it.

Compensator, Barrel And Trigger

The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black forward port vents roughly sixteen hundredths of a square inch of gas upward against muzzle rise. On a short slide that effect matters even more than on a five inch gun, because there is less reciprocating mass to absorb the impulse and more of it would otherwise reach the shooter as muzzle flip.

The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black barrel is fluted, ramped and coated in black DLC with 5R rifling at a one in ten twist. Fluting removes weight from the assembly and adds cooling surface, and the ramped chamber handles a wide range of bullet profiles without the feeding fussiness that plagues some 2011 builds.

The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black trigger uses an aluminum shoe and breaks between three and four pounds with a short take up and a fast reset. At 33.4 ounces the pistol still has enough mass to settle quickly while staying light enough to transition fast between widely spaced targets.

Deciding between the barrel lengths and sight options in this family is easier than it looks. A shorter double stack 2011 pistol transitions faster and holsters more easily; the five inch holds steadier. An adjustable sight competition pistol gives a full iron backup; a fixed rear is simpler and lower. What does not change is the arithmetic against a build: assembling a comparable compensated competition pistol from parts costs more than a finished double stack 2011 pistol and delivers in pieces over months, which is why a factory adjustable sight competition pistol usually wins on both price and warranty.

Why Buyers Choose The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black

Two nineteen round Checkmate magazines ship with the pistol. These are purpose built high capacity units for the platform, and spares should be ordered directly rather than sourced from a general parts shelf.

DLC is a hard low friction coating rather than a paint or bluing. It resists wear at the rails and the barrel where a competition pistol takes the most cycles, and it holds up across a high round count season better than most alternatives.

Two honest caveats. A three to four pound trigger and a compensator make this unsuitable for concealed carry or home defense, where a heavier press and less blast are advantages. Compensators are also loud and direct gas back toward the shooter and anyone standing beside them on the line.

Who Should Buy The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black

This pistol suits competitors in divisions that permit a compensator and an optic, particularly those who want functional iron sights behind the dot, and high volume range shooters who prefer a finished gun to a build project. It is not a defensive pistol. For a shooter who transitions often and wants a full sighting system, the Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Black covers both requirements.
