Valuing the Kimber Desert Warrior

Kimber’s Desert Warrior line takes cues from the Warrior but applies a tan/dark earth finish to better suit arid or tactical settings. Aggressive G10 grips, extended controls, and night sights round out the package.

These 5-inch pistols often come with integral rails for weapon lights. Built to function reliably in sandier conditions, the Desert Warrior merges form and function for those wanting a distinctive, duty-ready 1911.
