The Kimber 2K11 Comp is a full-size, single-action, double-stack 1911-style pistol chambered in 9mm Luger. It has a 5-inch stainless steel barrel with an integrated compensator and an optics-ready slide with an RMR-footprint mounting plate. The frame and slide are stainless steel with a black finish, and the grip module is built with a magwell for faster reloads.

Owners of the 2K11 Comp tend to describe fit and finish as tight for a production double-stack 1911, with the compensated barrel doing a noticeable job of flattening recoil compared to a standard slide. The grip module gets consistent praise for filling the hand well without feeling bulky, and the integrated magwell speeds up reloads under a timer. A few owners note that a compensated 1911 needs a clean, hot-loaded diet of ammunition to run the comp ports as intended, and some report a break-in period before the action smooths out.

On the range and in competition use, shooters like how flat the gun stays shot to shot, which they credit to the compensator and the double-stack frame's weight. The optics-ready cut and RMR adapter plate make red dot setup straightforward, and the sights are seen as a sensible fixed backup for a dot-equipped gun. Some carry-focused buyers find the comp system adds bulk and weight that they would not want on a daily-carry gun, positioning this more as a range or competition pistol than an everyday carry piece.

On value, buyers weigh the 2K11 Comp against other double-stack 1911 competition guns and generally see the included magazines and factory optics cut as helping offset the cost of building a similar gun from parts. Aftermarket support for 1911-pattern doublestacks is smaller than for standard single-stack 1911s, so some owners mention it takes more searching to find drop-in parts.
