Features
The Kimber Eclipse has a bi-tone (polished) stainless/black finish, tritium dot front and rear underline night sights, a lightweight aluminum trigger, a commander style hammer, and a beavertail grip safety. It has front and back strap checkering, and rear and forward cocking serrations on the slide.
The stainless steel slide and frame are finished in a matte black oxide, then all flat surfaces are brush polished, leaving the recessed and curved surfaces dark and contrasting.
The series II designation indicates that the pistol has an internal firing pin block that is disengaged by depressing the grip safety.
In 2002 the Kimber Eclipse won Shooting Industry magazine's "Academy of Excellence" award for Handgun of the Year.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
