Kimber KDS9C 3100010 | 9mm | 4.09″ | 15+1

The Kimber KDS9C (MFG# 3100010) is a full-size, 1911-pattern semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm with a 4.09-inch fluted, crowned, and ramped barrel. It pairs a 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum frame and gray-and-black G10 crosshatch grips with a KimPro Black stainless steel slide that has front and rear cocking serrations. The slide is optic-ready with a removable cover plate and ships with two 15-round magazines and adjustable rear and green fiber optic front sights. For a compact red dot that complements the slide’s micro-optic capability while staying well under $1000, consider the Holosun 507K micro red dot for a low-profile sighting solution.
