The Kimber KDS9c marks a turning point for the Kimber brand. For over 45 years Kimber has produced some of the most sought-after Firearms in the outdoor industry. During that time Kimber has established a name for itself in the realm of quality, functionality, superior craftsmanship and overwhelming attention to detail.
Over the last two decades Kimber has particularly cornered the market on the high end 1911 category. From high polish slides, to custom DLC finishes and the development of its own durable “KIM PRO” finish. Kimber has become synonymous with products that standout not only for their superior accuracy but for their collectability.
Fast forward to 2023 and Kimber introduces its first high capacity 1911 variant in the KDS9c. Debuting at the Houston NRA Show in the spring of 2023, the Kimber KDS9c immediately began to turn heads and garner strict attention from even the most discerning enthusiasts.
Kimber had embarked on this project through popular customer demand looking for a high capacity firearm that featured the highly desirable trigger from the traditional 1911 style while delivering the capacity modern firearms owners had requested. The resulting KDS9c is a collection of everything a 21st century firearms owner is looking for chambered in the popular 9mm luger.
The KDS9c from Kimber was different because it featured a reversable magazine release, fully fluted and crowned 4 inch barrel, optics ready capability as well as a proprietary magazine that holds 15 rounds. This plus the slim profile, spectacular ergonomics and external extractor delivered on all of the enhancements requested by people looking for a premium personal protection firearm.
The KDS9c soon was popular enough to warrant a quick line extension with a railed variant that featured an accessory rail, and ambidextrous safety. Since its inception it has garnered a strong following who rely on it for their EDC (Every Day Carry) firearm.
