I Was Wrong About The Kimber CDS9 & Here's Why

About this video

Colion reviews the Kimber CDS 9, a micro double-stack single-action hammer-fired pistol he initially dismissed after shooting Kimber’s 2K11. After spending dedicated time with the CDS 9, Colion argues it excels as a deep concealment carry gun, praising its crisp trigger, natural point ability, and exceptional capacity-to-size ratio. He demonstrates its performance through close-range drills and explains how his first impression was unfairly influenced by having just shot a premium full-size pistol.

Key takeaways

  • Colion teaches that first impressions can be misleading when testing firearms back-to-back without proper mental reset between evaluations
  • According to Colion, the CDS 9’s standout features are its crisp single-action trigger, intuitive pointing characteristics with fiber optic sights, and surprising 10-15 round capacity in a micro frame
  • Colion demonstrates that while the CDS 9 performs excellently in rapid 4-7 round strings and self-defense distances, shooters may notice size limitations during longer mag dumps compared to full-size pistols
