Key Features
- Stainless steel slide and frame: Why it matters — resists rust and wear in humid or coastal environments, keeping this pistol running longer without refinishing.
- 5” match-grade barrel: Why it matters — delivers the extra sight radius and velocity that 10mm needs for flat trajectories and tight groups at 25 yards.
- Front serrations: Why it matters — gives you a positive purchase for press checks or one-handed slide manipulation without slipping on the satin silver finish.
- Double-diamond checkered grip: Why it matters — provides a locked-in hand position even with wet hands or heavy recoil, reducing muzzle flip during rapid fire.
- CA-compliant features: Why it matters — includes a loaded chamber indicator and magazine disconnect, so you stay legal in California without sacrificing the Kimber trigger feel.
Who It’s For
This Stainless Target II is for the California shooter who wants a 10mm that pulls double duty: a range pistol for punching paper and a woods gun for hiking where two-legged or four-legged threats show up. It also fits the reloader who wants the durability of stainless steel without paying custom-shop prices.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Stainless construction handles sweat and rain better than blued or nitrided slides. Con: The satin finish shows holster wear more visibly than matte coatings.
- Pro: Out-of-box accuracy with the 5” barrel beats most compact 10mm options. Con: At 38 oz unloaded, it’s heavier than polymer-frame 10mm pistols like the Glock 20.
- Pro: The double-diamond checkering gives a secure grip without being as aggressive as stippled frames. Con: Some shooters prefer the texture of a rubber wrap-around grip for recoil management.

FAQ
Is this the same as the standard Stainless Target II?
Yes, mechanically it’s identical to the standard Stainless Target II. The “(CA)” suffix means Kimber added a loaded chamber indicator and magazine disconnect to meet California’s handgun roster requirements. The barrel, trigger, and slide serrations are the same.
Can I use high-pressure 10mm loads in this pistol?
Yes. The stainless steel slide and frame handle full-power 10mm loads like Buffalo Bore or Underwood without issue. Per Kimber specs, the barrel is rated for SAAMI-spec 10mm ammunition. Always follow your owner’s manual for load data.
Does the satin silver finish require special maintenance?
No. Clean it with standard gun solvents and a cloth. The satin finish is brushed stainless steel, so it doesn’t need oil to prevent rust the way blued steel does, but a light coat of CLP on the slide rails keeps the action smooth.
What holsters fit this pistol?
Any holster made for a 5” 1911-pattern pistol in 10mm will work, as long as it accommodates the full-length dust cover. Brands like Galco, Safariland, and Kramer Leather offer options. Avoid compact 1911 holsters—the barrel length won’t fit.
