In celebration of the 100th birthday of the 1911, the Kimber® Custom Shop™ has created the Centennial Edition™ .45 ACP. The finest limited edition pistol ever made by Kimber, only 250 will be produced. Special features include an elegant finish by Turnbull Restoration which includes color case hardened frame, charcoal blued slide and barrel, and nitre blue pins and trigger. Smooth grip panels are solid ivory and fine scroll engraving covers the slide flats. The special serial number sequence of MMXI001-MMXI250 has been assigned, and each pistol rests in a fine wood and leather presentation case with brass plate on the outer lid and a maker’s label inside. Additional special features include solid trigger and narrow slide serrations. Like all Kimber pistols, the Centennial Edition features a match grade barrel, chamber and trigger. Made entirely in America, it pays fitting tribute to the greatest fighting pistol ever designed.
Slides wear deep charcoal blue and frames have striking color case hardening. Both trigger and pins are brilliant nitre blue. These Turnbull Restoration finishes perfectly complement the elegant scroll engraving on the slide flats.


Solid ivory grips provide the ideal finishing touch. The Centennial Edition is limited to just 250 pistols, with special serial number sequence of MMXXI001–MMXI250. Built in the Kimber Custom Shop,™ it is the finest .45 ACP ever offered.


Centennial Edition pistols rest in a lockable wood and leather presentation case with brass plate and maker’s label. The interior is carefully fitted, then finished with rich green velvet.
