The Pocket Nine stands out for its short, documented production run in 1999—approximately 5,000 units—making it a notable entry in Colt's Series 90 lineup. Built in the United States, it delivers a micro 9mm package with a 2.75 inch barrel, about 5.5 inch overall length, and an approximate weight of 17 oz.
Its double-action-only, hammer-fired mechanism features a spurless/bobbed hammer for snag-resistant carry. The design omits a manual safety and decocker, and uses a left-side magazine release. Capacity is a slim, single-stack 6+1.
Construction is two-tone, combining a stainless slide with a matte anodized aluminum-alloy frame. This pairing keeps weight low while maintaining a clean, functional look that aligns with the model's concealed-carry purpose.
Sights are fixed and low-profile. The wraparound black rubber grips with finger grooves provide a secure hold on the compact frame.
