Hi Adam, while the looks of the gun make it unique, Kimber has added an additional twist and chambered the gun in .38 Super. This round has been around since the 1920s and is impressive. With 500-foot pounds of muzzle energy, and muzzle velocity beyond 1,300 feet per second with an FMJ bullet, it easily works in the personal defense world. It also produces recoil that is comparable to a 9mm making it a perfect round for shooting on the range or carrying concealed. Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Adam and welcome. There are plenty of .38 Super die-hards that Kimber and other manufactures decided also need love. .38 Super has a decent following in the 1911 platform. I agree, this is a fantastic looking pistol. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
