Colt Pocket Nine Series 90 9mm DAO Micro Pistol, 3 in Barrel, Stainless Slide/Alloy Frame, 6+1 (1999)
This Colt Pocket Nine Series 90 is a compact, double-action-only 9mm pistol produced in 1999. It pairs a stainless-steel slide with a matte silver aluminum-alloy frame and features a bushingless bull-profile muzzle. With short-lived production of approximately 5,000 units, U.S. manufacture, and the factory CP9000 model code, it stands out as a scarce late-1990s Colt micro 9mm.

The Pocket Nine is a micro-size, single-stack 9mm Luger with a 6+1 capacity and a double-action-only, hammer-fired system. It uses a spurless external hammer within the Series 90 design, offering a consistent DAO trigger stroke.
Construction details include a stainless-steel slide with brushed flats and matte rounds over a matte silver aluminum-alloy frame. The slide is cut with rear-only, slanted cocking serrations, and the barrel presents a bushingless, bull-profile muzzle.
Dimensions and handling remain truly compact: a 3 in barrel, approximately 5.5 in overall length, and about 17 oz unloaded. Controls and ergonomics are straightforward, featuring a smooth curved trigger face and black wraparound rubber grips with Pachmayr medallions. Sights are fixed and low-profile.
Factory markings include the slide legend "POCKET NINE" over "SERIES 90" with Colt pony logos, plus an ejection port marking "CAL. 9MM LUGER 'PARABELLUM'." The model aligns with Colt’s CP9000 factory code. Produced in the United States circa 1999 with an estimated 5,000 made, this model represents a concise period in Colt’s late-1990s micro 9mm development.
