Our Assessment: For 40 years, Kimber has been producing some of the finest 1911-style pistols in America and this is no exception. The Gold Match II comes from Kimber packed with features such as front and rear slide serrations, extended beavertail grip safety, full-length stainless guide-rod, extended ambidextrous thumb-safeties, skeletonized hammer and match grade trigger, target sights, and of course, Kimber quality. This example is in Fine condition showing signs of standard use. This is a fantastic gun in high condition and would make an excellent addition to any collection, but where it will really shine is in competition shooting such as single-stack division in USPSA or your local bowling pin matches.
