Kimber Custom TLE II (Ver 1)

Kimber Custom TLE II (10mm AUTO)

If John Browning was still alive today... he probably couldn't do much considering he'd be l58 years old. But he would have that satisfaction of creating the most successful handgun platforms of all time, I mean bigger than Glock, and as good as the AR and AK platform (granted, those are rifles). The design itself popped up during 1910 and the original handgun was called the M1911. The slightly upgraded version named M1911A1 is still being used today by certain special forces groups.

   This is not that gun, technically. The Kimber has a full length guide rod and adjustable trigger, hammer, and sights. Most modern 1911's do. Also this is the Kimber TLE (Tactical Law Enforcement), originally designed for LAPD S.W.A.T teams. The original Colt's came in .45 ACP, these days however, other versions of the 1911 have been chambered for many other cartridges, such as: .22 LR, .380 ACP, .38 Super, 9x19mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, 10mm Auto, and .45 GAP

Big name companies such as Smith and Wesson, SIG Sauer, Taurus, and even Remington make 1911s. I didn't put down Norinco because it's not a surprise that they'd make a 1911 variant (they've done so with Remington 870, M14, AK, RPG, AR-15, Winchester 1897, TT-33, SKS, SVD, and some others...)

  Because of it's popularity, I just had to model a 1911. Thing is, everyone has done the M1911 or M1911A1, that and full size guide rods are more aesthetic than the ones that original 1911's have (except for the GSG 1911, a .22 LR version. The guide rod is thin and short.). I also gave the handgun wooden grips for design reasons, add some color to the otherwise monochromatic item.
