Kimber Manufacturing has once again expanded its renowned KDS9c family of semi-automatic handguns with the introduction of the CDS9. This new model is specifically designed for everyday concealed carry (EDC) and offers a compelling combination of size, capacity, and features.

As a micro-compact handgun, the CDS9 prioritizes concealability without sacrificing performance. Its all-metal frame provides a robust platform, while the optics-ready accessory rail allows for easy mounting of red dot sights and other accessories. The CDS9 also features ambidextrous controls, making it suitable for shooters of all skill levels.

Kimber has incorporated several innovative features into the CDS9, such as a dual recoil spring assembly that reduces felt recoil and a flat-faced trigger with straight-pull characteristics, reminiscent of the company's popular 1911 models. These design elements enhance the shooting experience and make the CDS9 a joy to handle.

In terms of capacity, the CDS9 offers multiple magazine options to suit different carry preferences. The standard package includes two high-capacity magazines: a 13-round and a 15-round. For those seeking a more compact profile, a flush-fit 10-round magazine is also available. Kimber has also announced plans to release an extended 10-round magazine for regions with capacity restrictions.

The CDS9 is equipped with premium components, including TAG fiber optic front sights and tactical rear sights, ensuring accurate target acquisition. The handgun is also available in a threaded barrel version, the TFS model, which is compatible with suppressors for quieter shooting experiences.
