The Pro-sized model comes with a rounded heel frame.

  

Non-optics-ready models are available in Custom (left), Pro (right) and Ultra (3") (below) sizes and contain green and red fiber optic sights, Hogue Laser Enhanced MagGrip G10 grips and matching mainspring housings. Both the Pro and Ultra size models have rounded heel frames.

The Stainless 1911 Long Slide features a 6" barrel and slide hand-fitted to the frame, dovetail mounted rear adjustable target sight and front red fiber optic sight, a beveled magazine well, match-grade trigger, and refined scallop/checkered rosewood grips with the Kimber logo.
