The Kimber CDS9 delivers striker-fired reliability with the precision engineering Kimber built its reputation on. This compact duty pistol combines a stainless steel slide with advanced KimPro II coating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic polymer pistols, the CDS9 features a precision-machined stainless steel slide with factory optic cuts for direct red dot mounting. The KimPro II finish provides superior wear resistance compared to standard Cerakote or Nitride treatments. G10 grip panels offer aggressive texture without the brittleness of polymer, maintaining consistent grip in wet conditions.
Key Features
- Factory optic-ready slide accepts popular red dot sights without adapter plates
- Stainless steel slide with black KimPro II coating for corrosion resistance

The CDS9 performs reliably across temperature extremes and adverse conditions. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the consistent accuracy potential, while competitive shooters benefit from the optic-ready platform. The compact dimensions make it suitable for concealed carry without sacrificing shootability. KimPro II coating resists salt spray and humidity better than standard finishes.
