Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is proud to present a once-in-a-generation offering direct from the legendary Kimber Vault—an extraordinary collection of firearms that have never before been released to the public. These remarkable pieces include Serial Number One examples, rare prototypes, and factory display & salesman samples, ALL of which were retained internally for decades by Kimber's Founder, Owner, & CEO, Leslie Edelman.
Until now, these firearms have remained unseen outside of the company’s inner circle, making this a truly unprecedented opportunity for collectors. Each firearm will be accompanied by an official Kimber Factory Certificate of Authenticity, further solidifying its provenance and historical significance.
As the exclusive outlet entrusted with their release, Bryant Ridge Co. offers collectors a unique chance to acquire historically significant Kimber firearms with unmatched provenance and desirability.
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction; this is the Kimber SIS Custom Pistol with Serial Number #KSIS001!
The Kimber Factory Letter confirms that this firearm is a Kimber SIS Custom, bearing the significant serial number KSIS001. Chambered in .45 ACP, this model features a 5-inch barrel, a Gray KimPro II finish, and wood grips. As the very first serialized unit produced within its standard production line, the document highlights its historical importance to the company. According to the remarks, the firearm was originally held in the private collection of Kimber’s founder and owner, Leslie Edelman, before being released from the Kimber Vault. The letter was officially issued on February 6, 2026, marking its delivery to Bryant Ridge Co. in Liberty, Kentucky.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber SIS Custom is one of the most distinctive and purpose-driven 1911 pistols ever produced by Kimber, developed in collaboration with the Los Angeles Police Department’s elite SIS (Special Investigation Section) unit. Built as a duty-grade firearm, the SIS Custom was designed for real-world use, emphasizing reliability, durability, and rapid deployment under stress. Its most recognizable feature is the unique “SIS” slide serration pattern, which not only provides enhanced grip for manipulation but also serves as a direct nod to the unit for which it was created. From a performance standpoint, the SIS Custom incorporates many of Kimber’s high-end features, including front strap checkering for improved control, night sights for low-light engagements, and a match-grade barrel for consistent accuracy. Finished in a matte black treatment for reduced glare and increased durability, the pistol reflects a no-nonsense, duty-oriented philosophy that separates it from more presentation-focused 1911 variants. From a collector’s perspective, the SIS Custom has become increasingly desirable due to its unique origin and relatively limited production window. Kimber discontinued the SIS line, and its direct association with a specialized law enforcement unit gives it a level of authenticity that resonates with collectors. As a result, well-preserved examples—especially those retaining original configuration and packaging—are sought after as both functional firearms and historically significant modern 1911s.
