Anderson Manufacturing provides details of the pistol:
Built on an original polymer frame, with over-molded front and rear slide rails, the Anderson KIGER-9c is a striker-fired handgun with strong lines from its serrated stainless steel, DLC-coated slide and barrel to its aggressive grip texturing and extended beavertail. Thumb and forefinger texturing has also been mirrored on each side of the frame and the trigger guard undercut for enhanced handling and ergonomics. A short, crisp trigger pull allows for confident, quick and accurate shots on target while an integrated, beveled magazine well with improved channel allows for reliable magazine changes. Under the barrel, a forward Picatinny rail provides easy mounting of weapon lights and accessories.
Designed for modern versatility, the Anderson KIGER-9c is compatible with most GLOCK 19 Gen3 aftermarket components, providing unlimited opportunities to customize the KIGER-9c to fit the needs of any gun owner. Its popular and familiar profile also affords the shooter a discreet, every day carry while maintaining 15+1 rounds in one compact package.
Features of the gun include:
- Exceptional Value—The Kiger 9c is based on a classic, however, the Kiger comes with lots of performance and style upgrades.
- Accuracy—The enhanced frame combined with the generation 5 barrel geometry and the crowned barrel, provides the shooter with improved muzzle velocity and accuracy.
- Durability—The Kiger slide and barrel are manufactured from 416R stainless steel. This steel chemistry combined with the DLC coating ensures a firearm that is strong, heat resistant, and durable.
- Style—Aggressive grip texturing provides a confident grip in any condition. User can further customize their Kiger 9c with available aftermarket accessories.
The Kiger-9c has forward and rearward slide serrations, as well as grooves, cut into the face of the trigger guard. To provide an even better hold on the gun, the grip is textured as are areas on the upper portion of the frame. Raised ridges on the backstrap and frontstrap also provide a positive grip. The gun ships with one Magpul GL9 15-round magazine.
