Kimber CDS9 9mm Red/Grey 3.64" Optic Ready Pistol 15+1

Kimber builds the CDS9 as a compact, carry-ready 9mm that blends modern ergonomics with purposeful features. The pistol features an optic-ready, serrated black slide over a gray KimPro frame and ships with both 13- and 15-round magazines to fit duty, carry, or range needs. Kimber engineers the CDS9 for shooters who want a slim defensive pistol with a full accessory rail and positive control from red G10 grips. The CDS9 delivers straightforward command in a compact package. Kimber fits a 3.16-inch stainless barrel to keep sight radius and concealability in balance, then trims weight without sacrificing reliability. The optic-ready slide accepts popular micro red dots so you can mount a reflex sight and maintain co-witness with the steel sights, while forward serrations speed manipulations. Kimber installs a full-length accessory rail so shooters can attach lights or lasers for low-light defensive use. The textured red G10 grips provide a positive purchase for fast follow ups and consistent shot placement. Kimber includes a 13-round magazine for a lower-profile carry and a 15-round magazine when you want extra capacity at the range or duty use. The CDS9 uses a striker fired system tuned for a consistent trigger break and short reset, giving shooters a confident, repeatable platform for everyday carry and training.
