Just over one year after introducing the 2K11 platform in November 2024, Kimber has expanded the family with multiple line extensions. Among the most frequently requested additions to the platform has been a compensated model, now realized with the launch of the 2K11 Comp lineup.
Debuting in January 2026, the new 2K11 Comp series is offered in both black and stainless finishes, with full-size (5-inch barrel) and Pro-size (4.25-inch barrel) configurations available in each color. All models feature an integrated compensator forward of the front sight and Kimber’s new carbon fiber grip module. Select variants are available with a Stan Chen Customs magwell and TAG Precision steel optic adapter plates. The 2K11 Comp models retain the hallmark features of the existing 2K11 line, including a toolless guide rod system, external extractor, and crowned, fluted barrel. Chambered in 9mm, the 2K11 Comp series is available for immediate shipment and will begin appearing in stores as early as January.
Pedi Gega Director of product development, assembly and finishing stated:
“The 2K11 Comp is the culmination of years of preparation and hundreds of thousands of rounds of testing to deliver the most fully featured comprehensive handgun we have ever produced. The new 2K11 family of compensated models creates the highest class of firearms for the discerning enthusiast and competitive shooter.”

Over the past year, Kimber has remained committed to incorporating consumer and influencer feedback into the evolution of the 2K11 platform. Updates across the series include smoothing the ambidextrous safety “hot spot,” shortening the trigger for improved comfort, and partnering with TAG Precision to deliver durable steel optic mounting plates.

The stainless finish with the carbon fiber grip sounds like a premium choice. Wonder how the compensator affects recoil reduction.
Finally a compensator for the 2K11! Gonna have to check out how accurate this model is at the range.
Great to see Kimber adding more variants. Hope they keep improving the ergonomics with future releases.
Interesting upgrade to the 2K11 platform. Kimber seems to be listening to customer feedback with the compensated model.
First look is promising. Can’t wait to see real-world performance reviews on this model.
The 2K11 Comp looks sleek. How does it compare to other pistols in its class with similar features?
The Pro-size with the 4.25-inch barrel could be a great concealed carry option. Any experience with this?
Kimber is really expanding their 2K11 line quickly. Thoughts on whether this will be a hit among competitive shooters?
Compensators aren’t for everyone, but this seems like a solid option for those who prefer them. Will it impact reliability?
Compensated pistols are a niche market. Does this make financial sense for Kimber, or is it just catering to a small group?
