Shooters who move to a double-stack 1911 like the 2K11 Pro Comp often come from a single-stack gun and notice the wider grip right away, which some find harder to get a full hand around while others prefer it for control. Build quality on Kimber's higher-end lines tends to draw praise, with owners commenting on a crisp single-action trigger and tight slide-to-frame fit typical of a 1911-pattern gun.

For competition and range use, the built-in compensator is the feature people talk about most, since it visibly settles muzzle rise between shots once a shooter gets used to the different recoil impulse it produces. The optics-ready cut gets steady approval from owners running a red dot, and the aluminum grip panels are generally described as secure even with sweaty hands, though a few shooters swap them for something more aggressive.

Value opinions split along the usual line for a double-stack 1911: it costs more than a polymer-framed pistol in the same caliber, and owners weighing it against that competition justify the price by the fit, finish, and compensator work that comes standard. Holster and aftermarket parts selection is narrower than for a mainstream single-stack 1911, so buyers coming from that world sometimes have to search harder for accessories.
