Description
The Kimber DS Warrior Boot Campaign 9mm is the optics-ready 1911 DS Warrior with a Boot Campaign engraved slide, a 5 inch barrel and two magazines that hold 17 and 20 rounds of 9mm.
Kimber DS Warrior Boot Campaign 9mm Overview
Kimber’s DS Warrior brings the 1911 grip angle and single-action trigger to a double-stack 9mm, and this version (model 3700895) is cut for an RMR footprint optic. The slide is finished in KimPro black and engraved to honor Boot Campaign, the nonprofit that supports veterans and military families. Lipsey’s lists a 5 inch barrel, 8.7 inch overall length, about 33 ounces of weight and an aluminum frame; some retailers describe the frame as steel, so confirm with Kimber if frame material matters to you.
Double-Stack Capacity in a 1911
A traditional 1911 holds 8 or 9 rounds of 9mm. The DS Warrior uses a wider grip module and double-stack magazines, so you get 20+1 with the long magazine and 17+1 with the shorter one. The grip is thicker than a single-stack 1911 but still feels familiar, and the magazine well is beveled for reloads.
Optics Cut and Sights
The slide is milled for the RMR footprint, the most common pattern for duty-grade dots, so you can mount many popular optics directly. The night sight front and TAG rear give you a usable backup. Use proper screws and thread locker, and check torque after your first few hundred rounds.
Trigger and Controls
The match-grade single-action trigger breaks clean and resets short, which is the main reason people choose a 1911. The ambidextrous thumb safety suits left-handed shooters and anyone who trains one-handed. Carry it cocked and locked only after plenty of practice sweeping the safety on the draw.
Boot Campaign Edition
The engraving is the visual difference from a standard DS Warrior OR. It makes the pistol a good choice for veterans, collectors and anyone who wants a gun that shows support for military families. Because it is a special edition, it may hold interest with buyers later, but it is still meant to be shot.
What to Know Before You Buy
Double-stack 1911 magazines are model specific and cost more than common polymer-pistol magazines. Holster choice is narrower than for a single-stack 1911, especially with an optic mounted. A 1911 rewards regular cleaning and lubrication, and the long slide and steel parts make it heavier to carry than a compact striker gun.
State Laws and Ownership
Pennsylvania has no magazine-capacity limit, but many states cap magazines at 10 or 15 rounds, and states with handgun rosters may not list this model. Check your state and local rules before ordering, and ask your receiving FFL if you are unsure.

Before You Buy
Federal law requires handgun buyers to be at least 21 years old when buying from a licensed dealer, and every sale goes through an FFL with a completed Form 4473 and background check. Plan on a holster cut for a double-stack 1911 and your optic, spare Kimber DS magazines, and 9mm practice ammunition. If you mount a dot, zero it and recheck screw torque after the first range trip.
Who It Is For
The Kimber DS Warrior Boot Campaign 9mm is a great fit for 1911 fans who want double-stack capacity and a red-dot cut, and for veterans and supporters who want a pistol tied to a cause.
