The Super Jägare is a dedicated hunting pistol chambered for the powerful 10mm round. It’s built on a 1911 frame and comes stock with a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro reflex sight. And Kimber committed completely to the optic style and did not include any other traditional sights on the gun. While some in the gun world prefer a more “utilitarian” gun, Kimber has gone full hunting with the Super Jägare.

The gun has a 6-inch barrel which gives us an extra inch in which to gain a breath more muzzle velocity. The barrel and slide are also ported to help reduce muzzle rise from 10mm rounds, which isn’t as much of an issue as it may seem. The gun is pure Kimber, and it’s easy to shoot. Coming in at a comfortable 42 ounces unloaded, it absorbs recoil very well. Containing this powerful round is a stainless steel slide and frame. This not only makes it beefy and strong, but it also helps it withstand harsh weather.

This gun wasn’t built to simply occupy space in a safe. Kimber wants it to stand up to conditions hunters will face in the field. That’s why the slide has a diamond-like carbon (DLC) finish, which helps resist corrosion. The frame has Kimber’s popular KimPro finish, with a gray color here that looks great and offers a nice contrast. The grip panels are made of Micarta, another tough material.

The Super Jägare is also designed so it’s easy to use and run during a hunt, especially in terms of its controls. It has a good-sized ambidextrous thumb safety as well as a checkered magazine release. The slide’s fish-scale-like serrations provide plenty of surface area for easy racking and press-checks, and the beavertail grip safety is smooth yet easy to activate. So, as you can see, from barrel to backstrap, the gun is well designed and built.
