Kimber CDS9 OR 9mm 3.18" 15rd Pistol

The Kimber CDS9 OR is a compact 9mm that punches above its size class. The 3.18 inch barrel keeps overall length short enough for comfortable concealment, but the aluminum frame gives it a planted feel in the hand that polymer guns in this size range cannot match. The optics ready slide is factory milled for direct mounting of popular micro red dots, and the low profile iron sights provide a clean co-witness through a mounted optic. An ambidextrous thumb safety gives left and right hand shooters the same manual of arms, which is a real advantage for southpaws who have been forced into right hand only controls for years.The integrated accessory rail up front accepts compact weapon lights and lasers without adapter plates. Two magazines come in the box: a 13 round flush fit for maximum concealability and a 15 round magazine when you want the extra capacity. The single action trigger pulls clean with a short reset that rewards quick follow up shots. Kimber machined the slide from stainless steel and the barrel locks up tight on a full length guide rod for consistent accuracy. The grip texture is aggressive enough to hold during rapid fire without tearing up a shirt during appendix carry. If polymer striker guns have never felt right in your hand, the CDS9 OR is worth a serious look. The aluminum frame and manual safety put it in a different category from the usual plastic nine millimeter options.
