These days, more shooters are interested in double-stack, M1911-style handguns for self-defense. Trouble is that the double-stack 1911 in its "original" form isn't always the easiest to conceal on your body. That's why Kimber recently introduced the KDS9c, and unlike many similar firearms, this one was purpose-built for concealed carry (CCW).
"We've seen all sizes, shapes and variations of the M1911 from Kimber, including Micros, which aren't really 1911s, per se, but they're 1911-ish. And one of the steps that Kimber's taken recently, still in the 1911-ish vein, is with its KDS9c," American Rifleman Executive Editor Evan Brune said. "What makes this gun stand out and makes it a little different is that this is a double-stack M1911-style handgun chambered in 9 mm Luger. And when you start taking a closer look at the KDS9c, you start noticing that they've actually changed quite a lot on this 1911-ish platform."
This great video from our friends at American Rifleman illustrates all the points of interest on the KDS9c! There are currently four models of Kimber KDS9c: Black, Stainless Steel, Rail, and TFS. MSRPs range from $1,615-$1,695 depending upon model chosen. KimberAmerica.com.
