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 II (LAPD) Serial Number #KSIS200!
This Kimber Factory Letter documents an SIS Custom II pistol, identified by the serial number KSIS200. This specific firearm is chambered in .45 ACP and is configured with a 5-inch barrel, a Kim Pro Gray finish, and Wood grips. According to the remarks, this example represents the first serialized firearm produced within its production model line, marking the official beginning of that model's manufacturing history. As with many inaugural examples, firearms bearing Serial Number One were retained within the personal collection of Leslie Edelman, founder and owner of Kimber. The document, signed by Leslie Edelman, states that the pistol was released from the Kimber Vault on February 6, 2026, and delivered to Bryant Ridge Co. in Liberty, Kentucky.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Developed in direct collaboration with the elite officers of the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Investigation Section (SIS), the Kimber SIS series remains one of the most iconic and highly coveted tactical 1911 lines ever created. Built for heavy-duty operational use, the SIS Custom II features a full-size Government 5-inch match-grade barrel, dark non-reflective KimPro Gray finish, custom-milled "SIS" slide cocking serrations, tactical wedge tritium night sights, flat mainspring housing, and a solid tactical trigger. Discontinued after a brief production run, clean SIS models represent premier grails in the 1911 collecting community. What elevates this particular SIS Custom II (LAPD) into the absolute crown jewel of the entire SIS series is its inaugural serial number and executive vault provenance. As verified by the included official Kimber Factory Certificate of Authenticity signed directly by Kimber Owner and President Leslie Edelman, serial number KSIS200 represents the very first serialized firearm produced in this entire full-size model line, marking the official beginning of its production history. Retained directly within Leslie Edelman's personal collection and preserved in the executive Kimber Vault until its release on February 6, 2026, this Serial Number One / Pre-Production Inaugural Release is accompanied by its factory labeled hard case, factory magazine, chamber flag, and signed COA letter. An irreplaceable, museum-tier treasure for any advanced 1911, LAPD, or Serial Number One collector!
