Mrgunsngear Kimber DS Warrior Review: Budget American-Made 2011?

Is an American-made double-stack 1911 the budget 2011 people keep hunting for, or just another box with a good sticker? Mrgunsngear takes the Kimber DS Warrior to the range, walks the features, and gives his overall take.

What they cover: the Kimber DS Warrior as an American-made 2011-style pistol, a features walkthrough, live range time, and his overall opinion. Specs, group calls, and reliability notes in the video are his, not ours.

Here’s our take. Buy the DS Warrior if you want a Kimber double-stack 1911-pattern gun with American manufacture and optics-ready hardware without stepping into 2K11 money. Skip it if you need a long track record of high round counts in the wild, or if a traditional single-stack 1911 already does the job. Watch his feature and range notes before you treat “best on a budget” as automatic.

We stock the Kimber DS Warrior he is talking about. On the shelf: the 1911 DS Warrior 9mm (20+1). Related: the 9mm 10+1 and the .45 ACP 13+1. Complete firearm. Indiana FFL transfer through Wulfy’s. Ask us for current fees.
