Precision Engineering Meets Aesthetic Brilliance

The Aegis Elite Pro 9mm embodies Kimber’s commitment to both form and function. Its eye-catching two-tone styling is not merely cosmetic; it complements a host of practical features designed to enhance the shooting experience.

Key Features and Their Benefits:

• Two-tone Styling with KimPro® II Gray Finish on Slide: This distinctive aesthetic not only makes the Aegis Elite Pro a standout visually but the KimPro® II finish itself provides an incredibly durable, self-lubricating, and corrosion-resistant surface. This means your firearm maintains its striking appearance and operates smoothly even in challenging environments, resisting wear and tear over time.
• G-10 Cyclone Patterned Grips: The green, black, and grey G10 grips are a hallmark of ergonomic design. G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate, offering exceptional durability and resistance to moisture, solvents, and temperature fluctuations. The "Cyclone" pattern is not just for looks; its aggressive yet comfortable texture provides a remarkably secure and consistent purchase, whether your hands are dry, wet, or gloved. This translates directly to improved control, reduced muzzle flip, and faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
• AEX Pattern Rear Slide Serrations: The distinctive Aegis Elite X (AEX) serrations are a masterclass in combining style with practicality. These aggressive, yet aesthetically pleasing, cuts on the rear of the slide provide an unparalleled grip surface. This is critical for reliable slide manipulation during reloads, press checks, or clearing malfunctions, especially under stressful conditions or when hands are sweaty. Their unique design sets the Aegis Elite Pro apart from conventional firearms.
• Fiber Optic Sights (Green Rear, Red Front): Achieving a fast and clear sight picture is paramount for accuracy. The Aegis Elite Pro features highly visible fiber optic sights with a green rear and a red front. These sights gather ambient light, creating bright, contrasting dots that are incredibly easy to pick up, even in challenging lighting conditions. This allows for rapid target acquisition and improved accuracy, whether at the range or in a critical self-defense scenario. The sight radius of 4.8" further aids in precise aiming.
• Rounded Heel Frame: A subtle yet significant ergonomic enhancement, the rounded heel frame contributes significantly to the pistol's comfort, particularly for concealed carry. This contoured design eliminates sharp edges, preventing "printing" against clothing and reducing discomfort when carried inside the waistband. It also facilitates a smoother, snag-free draw, allowing for quicker presentation of the firearm when needed most.
• 24 LPI Front Strap Checkering: The finely cut 24 lines per inch (LPI) checkering on the front strap of the frame provides an additional layer of grip security. This texture locks the shooter's hand firmly onto the pistol, preventing slippage, especially during rapid fire or when hands are wet or oily. This translates to enhanced control and consistent shot placement, contributing to the overall confidence a shooter feels with this firearm.
• Premium Aluminum Trigger: The Aegis Elite Pro is equipped with a premium aluminum trigger, factory set to a crisp 4.0-5.0 lbs. pull. The material choice ensures durability and a consistent feel. A light, clean, and predictable trigger break is crucial for accuracy, minimizing "flinching" and allowing shooters to precisely control their shots. This feature elevates the shooting experience, making precise shot placement more attainable.

Beyond Features: The Kimber Advantage

Kimber's reputation is built on a foundation of precision manufacturing, high-quality materials, and a deep understanding of what shooters demand. The Aegis Elite Pro 9mm epitomizes this philosophy.

• Stainless Steel Construction: Both the barrel and frame are crafted from high-grade stainless steel. This material is renowned for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity. The stainless steel frame provides a robust, stable platform for the reciprocating slide, contributing to reduced felt recoil and superior durability. The stainless steel barrel ensures consistent accuracy and a long service life.
• Optimized Recoil Management: With a 14.0 lb. recoil spring and the inherent mass of its stainless steel frame, the Aegis Elite Pro is designed to effectively manage the recoil of the 9mm Luger cartridge. This translates to a more comfortable shooting experience, especially during extended range sessions, and allows for quicker recovery between shots.
• Practical Magazine Capacity: The 9-round magazine capacity strikes an excellent balance between a compact profile and sufficient firepower for self-defense or competitive shooting. Multiple magazines are readily available from DEGuns to ensure ample ammunition for any scenario.
