The Kimber Target II is a 1911-style handgun chambered in 9mm Luger (9x19 Para), built from stainless steel with a satin silver finish. It's aimed at competitive shooters and anyone who wants a full-size pistol that earns its accuracy on the range rather than just at the counter.

Detailed Features 

 
The barrel is match-grade steel with a left-hand 1:16 twist, which is tight enough to keep groups honest at distance. Adjustable Kimber sights let you dial in elevation and windage for different loads without drifting the rear sight with a punch. A full-length guide rod smooths out the recoil stroke and keeps the muzzle from dipping as much between shots. Rosewood grips carry the Kimber logo and give a firm purchase without being harsh on the hand during a long session. 
 
At 38 ounces empty the gun is on the heavier end for a 9mm, which does cut felt recoil noticeably. Single-action trigger means you cock once and break cleanly, good for shooters who've put time into trigger discipline, though it does require learning the manual of arms. 
 

Usage 

The Target II is well-suited to USPSA and bullseye competition where consistent trigger pull matters, and it works fine for home defense if you're comfortable with a cocked-and-locked 1911 platform. It's less practical as a carry gun given the weight and size.

Owners of the Kimber Target II 9mm generally like the stainless finish and rosewood grips, which hold up well over time and look good doing it. Accuracy gets consistent praise. Most shooters report tight groups once they've found a load the barrel likes, and the adjustable sights make zeroing straightforward.

Price is the most common friction point. Some buyers feel it's steep relative to other 9mm 1911s, though most who shoot it regularly consider the quality adequate justification. Occasional complaints about reliability tend to be tied to specific ammunition or the break-in period rather than persistent mechanical problems.

Overall, the sentiment is positive on fit, finish, and shooting feel. Those shopping on a tight budget or wanting a carry-weight gun usually look elsewhere.
