TAG Precision optic plates

TAG Precision is now offering RMR-footprint optics plates directly compatible with Kimber 2K11 and 1911 factory slide optics cuts, manufactured in Dallas, TX. The units are machined from sturdy 4140 steel and finished with a durable black nitride QPQ finish. Each TAG Precision Trijicon RMR unit includes a Torx driver and all the relevant mounting hardware and screws for added convenience.  

The Trijicon RMR optics-mounting footprint is one of the most significant footprints industry wide. This pattern obviously fits all of Trijicon’s micro-red-dot sights including the RMR itself and models like the SRO and RCR. Beyond that, the RMR pattern accommodates a wide variety of other optics currently available across several brands. Notably, this includes Holosun’s optics such as the 407 and 507 series.

Jordon Musser, COO of TAG Precision, stated, “Our goal was to build an optic mounting solution that reflects the standards of shooters who depend on their equipment. By machining these plates in Dallas from American steel, we can guarantee the strength, precision, and consistency required for both training and real-world use. This plate allows the Kimber 2K11 and 1911 platforms to fully benefit from modern optics technology.”

The Kimber 2K11 is designed from end to end to incorporate elements many consumers have asked for in a double-stack 1911 pistol. Kimber 2K11s feature an external extractor for increased reliability and durability and a type III hard anodized aluminum grip module. The 2K11 also has improved internal geometry that enhances the reliability of feeding the high-capacity magazines. Finally, the Kimber signature GT Trigger inside the 2K11 breaks at a consistent 3.5 pounds with a sharp wall, crisp break and performance that sets a new standard for production double-stack 1911 pistols. This, combined with the patent pending tool-less guide rod for ease of disassembly and cleaning are just some unique attributes which sets the Kimber 2K11 apart from the crowd.
