KIMBER CUSTOM TLE/RL II .45 ACP 5IN BARREL 7RD 3200139CA

Kimber's Custom TLE/RL II is a full-size 1911 in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel, 7-round capacity, and factory night sights — a configuration that draws buyers who want a duty-grade 1911 without sourcing aftermarket sighting upgrades. TacticCAL carries it as a DOJ Roster listed handgun, making it a straightforward California purchase.

Choosing a Full-Size 1911 with Night Sights Already Installed

The buyer who lands on the Custom TLE/RL II typically already knows the 1911 platform — they've shot one, trained on one, or own one — and they're looking for a serious working configuration rather than a range-only piece. The 5-inch barrel and .45 ACP chambering make this a home defense or range-primary candidate. The factory night sights are the practical differentiator here: buyers who've priced out a quality night sight installation on a base 1911 understand the value of having them from the factory. Manual safety operation suits shooters who train with a consistent draw and prefer that mechanical layer. Pairing with a Safariland or Galco holster sized for a 5-inch 1911 is the logical next accessory step. See our California compliant handguns catalog.

Frequently asked questions

Are the night sights on the Custom TLE/RL II factory-installed or aftermarket?

They are factory-installed. Verified specs confirm night sights as a standard feature of this model — not an upgrade or add-on. No additional sighting work is needed before the gun goes into service.

What should I plan for during the 10-day wait after purchasing this at TacticCAL?

Source .45 ACP ammunition before pickup, locate a holster compatible with a 5-inch 1911 frame, and arrange a CA-compliant locked transport container for the drive home. If you store at home with children present, have a lockbox or safe ready before pickup day.

Does the manual safety on this 1911 affect how I should train before picking it up?

Consistent manual safety manipulation is a trained skill. Use the 10-day wait to review the owner's manual, mentally rehearse the draw and safety sweep, and consider booking a session with a local instructor if you're new to single-action 1911 operation.
