Kimber has announced that several of its pistols are now available for purchase in Massachusetts after receiving approval for the state's General Roster. The company shared the news in a March 20, 2025 release, which you can read in full at Kimber's press release.
What Was Announced
Kimber says the approved models are the only Kimber firearms that the Massachusetts Gun Control Board has listed on the General Roster as of March 1, 2025. The company also states that no other Kimber firearms have been approved. The release frames the move as a way to bring Kimber products to buyers in states with capacity limits, pointing to the KDS9 as the company's high-capacity concealed carry option.
Key Details
- Rapide Dawn, 9mm and .45 ACP (listed as new)
- Custom LW Shadow Ghost, 9mm and .45 ACP (listed as new)
- Super Match II, .45 ACP
- Stainless Target, 10mm and .45 ACP
- Stainless Target II, 9mm and .45 ACP
- KDS9c 10-round Black, 9mm
- Micro 9 Stainless Rosewood, 9mm
- Micro 9 Stainless Rosewood RTC Bundle, 9mm
The release says it includes item numbers and UPC codes for ordering, but those details are not reproduced in the announcement text we have, so buyers should check Kimber's site or their dealer for exact ordering information.
What It Means for Gun Owners
For Massachusetts buyers, the list narrows the options to the specific models above. Kimber states that resellers are expected to follow all applicable federal and state laws when selling its firearms in Massachusetts and elsewhere. Anyone shopping for a Kimber in the state should confirm that a model appears on the General Roster before buying.
Bottom Line
Kimber has made eight models available in Massachusetts, all of which are on the state's approved list as of March 1, 2025. Everything else in the Kimber lineup remains unapproved for sale there, according to the company.
