Kimber Compact CDP II .45 ACP

CDP II Family

The Kimber Custom Defense Package.

A handgun used for personal protection is not a good place to compromise quality. If needed, it must perform with flawless precision. Until that time, it must be easy to carry and inspire confidence during practice. There can be no justification for anything less than the best.

Made entirely in the Custom Shop, CDP pistols combine Kimber's most popular concealed carry features into the package that gave them their name. Adding these features during the manufacturing process reduces their retail cost by over $500, giving CDP pistols their incredible value.

CDP pistols are easy to carry because their 7075-T7 aluminum frames are lightweight, up to seven ounces less than steel frames but every bit as strong and dependable. Slides are machined from solid stainless steel and given a satin finish that will not reflect light.

Possibly the best feature is the carry bevel treatment. All edges of the pistol are rounded and blended by hand, leaving no sharp corners to catch clothing or dig into a holster.

All CDP barrels and chambers are match grade for accuracy. Breech faces are polished and ejection ports are lowered and flared for reliable function. Magazine wells are beveled and magazine release buttons extended for fast reloading. Low profile three dot (green) night sights are quick to target even in dim light. Positive 30 lines-per-inch checkering on the frontstrap and trigger guard belly lock the pistol in your hand. Extended ambidextrous thumb safety, checkered flat mainspring housing, and match grade Premium Aluminum Trigger are all included.

CDP pistols are available in three barrel lengths, and with either a compact or full-size frame. They look good too, the matte black frame complimenting the satin silver of the slide. Hand-checkered double diamond rosewood grips and satin silver small parts add the finishing touch.

The 1911 .45 ACP has proven itself over several generations as being the best choice for serious carry and defense. Its reliability, accuracy and authority are legendary. Hands down, Kimber makes the best 1911 pistols available today, so choosing a Kimber CDP is easy. Choosing which CDP to carry is another story.
