Kimber Rapide Scorpius | 9mm | 1911 | 9rd Pistol

The Kimber Rapide Scorpius (SKU: 3000421) is a truly unique addition to the 1911 market, designed for shooters who demand a high-performance target pistol with a custom-shop aesthetic. Part of the elite RAPIDE series, the Scorpius combines functional enhancements like slide lightening cuts with premium materials to deliver a shooting experience that is as smooth as it is accurate.

Signature RAPIDE Engineering

The Scorpius slide is immediately recognizable by its stepped cocking serrations and functional lightening cuts. These features aren't just for looks; they reduce the reciprocating mass of the slide, resulting in a faster cycle time and a quicker slide lock-up. This allows for flatter shooting and faster follow-up shots in competitive or defensive scenarios.

Elite Finishes & Durability

The Scorpius features a Stainless Steel frame and slide finished in Black KimPro II, with the flats of the slide and frame brush-polished to a high sheen. This creates a sophisticated two-tone black-on-steel look that is exceptionally resistant to the elements. To ensure maximum longevity, the 5-inch Match Grade Barrel is finished in Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), providing a self-lubricating, ultra-hard surface that minimizes friction and wear.
