Kimber Mfg. has released two new models of the highly successful CDS9.

The CDS9 was an immediate success for Kimber following its debut in 2024. The handgun combines all desirable features from consumers into a micro-sized package. The remarkable ways in which the 3-inch barreled CDS9 handles like a full-sized gun quickly grabbed the attention of enthusiasts around the nation.

Featuring optics cuts, accessory rail and shipping with 13 and 15 round magazines, the CDS9 created the perfect storm for a concealed-carry platform. Now, in the summer of 2025, Kimber has announced the all-new CDS9 Classic.

The Classic comes in two models: the CDS9 Classic and the CDS9 Classic OR. The purpose behind these models is to provide consumers with the same great ability in a refined profile with no optics rail that provides cost savings in a challenging economy. The New CDS9 Classic will be available in two finish options, Black/Brushed and solid Gray both featuring black injection molded grips and chambered in 9mm.

“Kimber is excited to roll out yet another exciting new product this summer,” said Mountie Mizer, Kimber VP of Sales. “After a successful launch of the CDS9 micro series earlier this year, we are now extending the family of high-capacity micro pistols by announcing the CDS9 Classic Series. Offered in both an Optics Ready and Night Sight versions, the ‘Covert Double Stack 9mm’ micro pistol is the latest in high-capacity micro pistols available from Kimber America. These pistols include both a 13 round and 15 round high-capacity magazine, ambidextrous controls, reversible magazine release, and ships range ready in our signature Kimber branded range bag.”
