The Kimber CDS9 delivers precision engineering in a compact striker-fired platform designed for concealed carry and duty applications. This 9mm pistol combines Kimber's renowned craftsmanship with modern features that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard polymer striker-fired pistols, the CDS9 features Kimber's proprietary trigger system with a crisp break and short reset. The pistol incorporates a match-grade barrel and enhanced grip texture that provides superior control compared to competitors. Factory testing demonstrates consistent 2.5-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition.
