Kimber Introduces New 1911 DS Warrior

At its core, the 1911 DS Warrior pairs a traditional Kimber single-action 1911 slide with a modern double-stack subframe and grip module to deliver increased magazine capacity without sacrificing the familiarity or shootability that 1911 enthusiasts demand. The slide features Kimber’s legacy internal extractor, a bushing system barrel, and a mil-spec guide rod, maintaining the time-tested operating system that has defined Kimber 1911 pistols for decades. All models are optics-ready, allowing shooters to easily mount today’s most popular red dot sights. The 1911 DS Warrior will launch in four calibers—9mm, .45 ACP, 10mm, and .38 Super—giving consumers a broad range of options for personal defense, duty use, hunting, and competition. The guns are offered in standard full-size, 5” configuration, except for the 10mm model being offered in both 5” and a 6” long slide option.

Pedi Gega Director of product development, assembly and finishing stated: “With the 1911 DS Warrior, we listened to shooters who wanted a true Kimber 1911 experience in a high-capacity, value-driven package. This is an entirely new platform that keeps our traditional 1911 DNA—internal extractor, bushing barrel, and crisp trigger—while delivering the magazine capacity and optic-ready features today’s shooters expect. It’s built here in the United States for those who prefer a domestic, quality-made option over imported, budget High Capacity 1911-style pistols.”

Alongside the 2K11 platform, Next Generation 1911 line, and CDS9 series, the DS Warrior reinforces Kimber’s strategy of delivering innovative, American-made pistols across multiple segments and price points.
