Key Features
- Optics-Ready Slide – WHY IT MATTERS: You can mount your preferred red dot sight without sending the slide to a gunsmith, saving time and money while getting on target faster.
- 3x10R Magazine Capacity – WHY IT MATTERS: Three magazines give you 30 rounds on the clock for competition stages or range sessions, reducing reloads and keeping you in the zone.
- Target-Grade Barrel and Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: A match-grade barrel and crisp trigger pull help you shoot tighter groups at 25 yards, which is exactly what you need for bullseye or steel challenge.
- Stainless Steel Construction – WHY IT MATTERS: Stainless steel resists corrosion better than blued carbon steel, so this pistol holds up to humidity and sweat during long range days.
Who It’s For
This Kimber is built for target shooters who want a factory-ready 9mm that can hang with custom builds. If you compete in USPSA, Steel Challenge, or just like punching tight groups at the local range, you’ll appreciate the fit, trigger, and optic compatibility. New shooters will also find it easy to shoot well thanks to the manageable recoil and adjustable sights.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Optics-ready slide saves you a gunsmith trip — just bolt on your favorite dot and go.
- Pro: Three 10-round magazines included, so you’ve got plenty of firepower for practice or competition.
- Pro: Kimber’s fit and finish is top-tier for a production pistol; the slide-to-frame fit is tight and smooth.
- Con: The price tag is higher than many entry-level target 9mms, so it’s an investment for serious shooters rather than a budget pick.

FAQ
Does this Kimber come with mounting plates for red dot sights?
Yes, the 2K11 Target OR includes mounting plates for popular red dot footprints like RMR, Docter, and Shield. You’ll need to check the included plate kit or Kimber’s website for the exact list, but it covers the most common optics.
What is the trigger pull weight on the Kimber 3500057?
Per Kimber specs, the trigger pull is factory-set at approximately 4-5 pounds. It’s a clean, single-action break with minimal creep, which is ideal for target shooting and competition.
Can I use this pistol for concealed carry?
While it’s possible, the 2K11 Target OR is a full-size target pistol with a 5-inch barrel and a heavier frame. It’s better suited for range use, competition, and home defense than daily concealed carry. For carry, you’d want a more compact model.
Does the Kimber 3500057 have a threaded barrel?
No, this model comes with a standard, non-threaded barrel. If you need a suppressor-ready barrel, you’ll want to look at Kimber’s tactical or custom shop models.
