The Kimber Custom TLE/RL II is a full-size 1911-style pistol built on a steel frame with service-oriented features for duty use and personal protection. Identical to the pistol carried by LAPD® SWAT, plus the integral Kimber Tactical Rail™, the TLE (Tactical Law Enforcement) is widely regarded as the ideal 1911 for duty carry and personal protection. This semi-auto powerhouse is chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch match-grade barrel and a full-length guide rod, delivering proven stopping power and reliable performance in critical situations.
Purpose-built for professionals and serious shooters, the Custom TLE/RL II features Meprolight Tritium 3-dot night sight (fixed) for rapid target acquisition in low-light conditions. Its matte black finish and steel construction prioritize durability and serviceability. The pistol is equipped with G-10 grips and fixed low-profile 3-dot night sights, along with an under barrel Picatinny rail for mounting tactical accessories. Barrels, barrel bushings, chambers and triggers are all machined to exacting match grade dimensions.
The Custom TLE/RL II carries a seven-round magazine and features an aluminum match-grade trigger with a factory setting of approximately 4.0–5.0 pounds. At approximately 39 ounces with an empty magazine, this pistol balances substantial firepower with manageable weight for all-day carry. The model includes the Kimber Firing Pin Safety, designated by “II” in the model name, along with rounded and blended edges for comfortable carry. Built by a manufacturer trusted by law enforcement and armed professionals, the Kimber Custom TLE/RL II delivers the accuracy, reliability, and tactical features demanded by those who depend on their sidearm.
