The Rail TFS configuration adds a factory-threaded 4.6-inch barrel with a 1/2x28 pattern, a bushingless cone profile, a fluted hood, and a fitted thread protector. This setup provides ready compatibility with common 9mm muzzle devices while maintaining a compact overall package.
The slide is tri-top with forward and rear wrap-over serrations for confident manipulation. Top lightening/inspection windows and an external extractor are integrated, and the slide is optic cut with a cover plate. The rear-of-slide optics interface supports RMSc/Holosun-K and RMR footprints via plates. Sights include a green fiber-optic front and a drift-adjustable rear.
The frame is machined from 7075 aluminum alloy and finished in FDE anodize, pairing with the black slide for a clean two-tone look. Controls include an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, a flat-faced trigger with a relief window, and a rowel-style skeletonized hammer. Grip panels feature a cross-hatch/X pattern, while the frontstrap has square block/checkering and the backstrap/mainspring housing uses vertical serrations—consistent with factory KDS9c patterning.
Capacity is 18+1 rounds, and this pistol includes both an 18-round and a 15-round KDS9c-pattern double-stack steel magazine with appropriate basepads. Baseline dimensions from the factory manual list a length of 7.8 inches, a height of 5.3 inches, and an empty weight of 25.3 ounces.
A Picatinny accessory rail is integrated into the dustcover for light or laser mounting. Markings include "KDS9c" on the slide and "KIMBER TROY AL USA" on the frame, underscoring its U.S. manufacture.
