The Kimber CDS9 Shadow Ghost is a compact single action pistol built around Kimber’s Covert Double Stack (CDS) platform. Chambered in 9x19, the pistol combines a double column magazine system with a compact aluminum frame and stainless steel slide finished in a gray and black KimPro finish. The slide is cut to accept micro pistol optics using the Shield RMSc footprint and is paired with a TAG fiber optic front sight and a serrated rear sight. Controls include ambidextrous thumb safeties and slide stops, and the pistol uses an external extractor and flat faced trigger.

The CDS9 platform was designed as a concealed carry oriented pistol that maintains the trigger characteristics of a single action handgun while offering modern double stack capacity. The pistol uses a 3.18 inch match grade stainless steel barrel with a dual recoil spring system designed to improve durability and recoil management in a compact slide. The aluminum frame incorporates molded grip texturing and a subtle undercut trigger guard, while the slim overall width maintains a carry focused profile.
