Description
The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless is the bright finished short slide member of Kimber compensated 2011 family. A 4.25 inch fluted barrel with an integral forward port, an adjustable rear sight, a three to four pound match trigger and two nineteen round magazines make it quick between targets without giving up the flat recoil the line is known for. MAG5 Firearms stocks the Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless for competitors who prefer a bright gun and a shorter slide.
Short Slide, Bright Finish
Shortening the Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless slide to 4.25 inches takes reciprocating mass out of the system and brings overall length down to 7.79 inches. On stages with widely separated targets that shows up on the timer directly, because there is less weight to swing and the pistol arrives on each new target sooner.
The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless compensator does not change with barrel length. Roughly sixteen hundredths of a square inch of forward port vents gas upward against muzzle rise, and on a lighter slide that effect matters more rather than less, because there is less mass to absorb the impulse on its own.
The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless finish is the practical argument for this version over the black one. A scratch through a coated slide exposes a different colored substrate underneath, while a scratch on stainless is still stainless. Across a season of holster draws that difference becomes visible.
Barrel, Sights And Trigger
The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless barrel is fluted, ramped and finished with 5R rifling at a one in ten twist. Fluting removes weight from the reciprocating assembly and adds surface area for cooling during a high volume practice day, while the ramped chamber feeds a wide range of bullet profiles without the fussiness some 2011 builds develop.
Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless sights pair a TAG FiberLok 2 front with an adjustable rear that accepts red or black fiber inserts. Being able to tune both elevation and insert color to the shooter eyes and the range lighting is a genuine advantage, and an RMR adapter plate ships in the box for anyone mounting a dot.
The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless 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 keeps enough mass to settle quickly while staying light enough to move between targets at speed.

Building an equivalent gun from parts is the alternative most shooters consider, and the numbers rarely favor it. A double stack 2011 pistol assembled from a base gun, a compensator, a match barrel, a trigger job and adjustable sights typically exceeds the price of a finished compensated competition pistol, and the components arrive over months rather than together. A complete double stack 2011 pistol also carries one warranty, while a compensated competition pistol built from several vendors carries several conversations when something needs attention.
Why Buyers Choose The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless
Two nineteen round Checkmate magazines ship with the pistol. These are purpose built high capacity units for the platform, so plan on ordering spares directly rather than expecting to find 2011 pattern magazines on a general shelf.
A stainless finish suits shooters who prefer a bright pistol and who value a surface that cannot wear through to a different colored layer underneath. On a competition gun that lives in and out of a holster, that is a practical consideration as much as an aesthetic one.
Two honest caveats. A three to four pound trigger and a compensator make this a poor choice for concealed carry or home defense, where a heavier press and less muzzle blast are advantages. Compensators are also loud and direct gas back toward the shooter and anyone on the line beside them.
Who Should Buy The Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless
This pistol is built for competitors in divisions that permit a compensator and an optic, especially those shooting stages with frequent transitions, and for high volume range shooters who want a finished gun instead of a build project. It is not a defensive pistol. For a shooter who wants the shorter slide in a bright finish, the Kimber 2K11 Pro Comp 9mm Stainless is the direct answer.
Pair it, feed it, or compare it
The rest of the family is worth a look before you commit. The 2K11 Comp in stainless is this same gun with the full-length slide, which buys sight radius and a little more settle at the cost of transition speed. Prefer a darker gun? The Pro Comp in black and the full-size Comp in black are the same two builds in the other finish.
Two magazines in the box is enough to shoot a match and not much more. Spares are the first thing most owners buy: the factory 26-round 2K11 magazine gets you through a long stage without a reload, and the 19-round UHC magazine matches what ships with the pistol. For practice volume, CCI Blazer Brass 115gr is clean, cheap by the case and entirely adequate for working transitions.
