Overview
Being a full-fledged member of the cult of the 10mm, this was an excellent SHOT Show for me. New from Kimber this year is the Super Jagare. “Jagare” is German for hunter, and this new model should excel at that. Chambered in 10mm, it features a full 6-inch barrel to really exploit the velocity capability of this round. The barrel is also factory ported, which helps keep the gun controllable during recoil.
The new Super Jagare is a long-slide, ported and optics-ready 10mm 1911 from Kimber.

Impression
This is one you really have to shoot to believe. It shoots smoother than any other 10mm I have played with. This is also one of the first 1911 pistols I have shot cut for a red dot optic; the Super Jagare comes equipped with a Leupold Delta Point Pro. That red dot, combined with a 1911 trigger, is absolutely lethal. As red dot pistols become more accepted and mainstream, I think we will see a lot more of this. It is a wonderful experience to shoot.
The rest of the gun is all Kimber 1911, which has set a high bar since the company’s inception. The butt of the pistol has been rounded. Front- and backstraps of the grip feature scale type texturing. The micarta grips are a work of art, and feature just enough checkering to hold the pistol firmly in hand. For the handgun hunter, or just a back country insurance gun, this is a must have.
Price & Availability
Keep an eye out in the coming months for a full review on this exciting new pistol. The MSRP is $2,688, which is pretty good considering it comes with the optic and has all the enhancements and amenities you would want.
