The Classic Carry configuration pairs a black slide with a gray 7075 aluminum alloy frame for a purposeful two-tone look. The frame incorporates machined grip panels with longitudinal serrations, a flared magwell for smooth reloads, and a rounded bobtail-style heel that trims the profile without adding bulk.
The 4.25 in stainless steel bull barrel is bushingless and finished with a deep recessed crown and flush muzzle. Slide features include front and rear serrations and an external extractor. Sights are all-steel and dovetailed: a front blade and a ledge-style rear notch for a crisp, durable sight picture.
This locked-breech, single-action-only design omits the traditional 1911 grip safety and uses an ambidextrous thumb safety. The left-side magazine release and a skeletonized trigger with an overtravel adjustment screw round out the controls. The non-railed, non-threaded Classic Carry setup keeps the profile clean and focused on concealed carry use.
Capacity is 18+1 using double-stack magazines. This pistol ships with two 18-round and two 15-round steel magazines, shown with both flush-fit and extended basepads. Made in the USA, the KDS9c Classic Carry launched with a $1,499 MSRP and delivers modern capacity and features within a compact 1911 platform.
