The Kimber CDS9 9mm Pistol in Black (brand part no. 3600018) is a Covert Double Stack carry pistol that pulls design cues from Kimber’s Micro 1911 and KDS9c platforms into a compact, modern package. Kimber arms the CDS9 with a 3.18-inch match-grade stainless steel barrel using 5R rifling, and a slide cut optics-ready for any RMSc-footprint red dot, so shooters can add a reflex sight without a separate milling job. A hammer-fired, 1911-style single-action trigger gives a crisp, consistent pull that carries over Kimber’s decades of 1911 refinement into a compact double-stack 9mm, and a stacked recoil spring assembly is rated for up to 10,000 rounds of service life. Among our semi-auto handguns, the CDS9 suits concealed carriers who want a genuine 1911 trigger feel in a compact, optics-ready 9mm.
