Kimber Eclipes...This ones Special

[Ding126]

Just got her out of jail. Do you see why this is a special model to me?

10mm?

Hole for a lanyard?

This one comes from the Custom Shop, Ambi safety and ajustable night sights..I know you can't tell from the single photo. But I have never seen an Eclipes with these markings. This is my 2nd Eclipes. the pistol is about 10yrs old and was never fired. Must of been some of the 1st models before they became production guns.

Very nice!

I can tell from the photo those are not the factory sights, and obviously the "Custom" marking sets it apart. I own the 10mm version and I love that gun. It's become my hunting sidearm, and I intend to take a pig or two with it this winter.

Ive got one, but its a 10mm and has nightsights, non-adjustable. Your gonna love that gun. The finish is awesome as you already know

The Custom Shop marked Eclipse with the ambi safety were the first ones produced in 2001 and are considered a Kimber Limited Edition gun. When they became a standard production gun, the ambi safety was dropped. The gun looks to be completely stock including the sights.

Some info on the gun:

4522 produced. Stainless slide and frame, 5” barrel, black oxide finish brush polished on the flats, 30 LPI front strap checkering, ambidextrous safety, adjustable night sights, laminated gray grips. Serial sequence begins with KEL. 38 oz. MSR: $1121

Now they also have checkering under the trigger guard in case you come across a block of cheese that needs grating.

I know when I want some Parmesan on my salad what gun I'm using

Thanks for the info and confirming the sights are factory..Purchased the pistol from a family member who only fondled it and was the original purchaser. Thanks again

Now I wish I still had the 10mm I sold 2 yrs ago...maybe my next Kimber

Hey Ding,
