Kimber CDS9 with Viridian CTL Light IWB Holster

The Kimber CDS9 IWB Holster with Viridian CTL Light is designed for comfortable, dependable everyday concealed carry. Built specifically around the Kimber CDS9 and Viridian CTL light combination, this custom Kydex-style holster provides a precise fit while addressing one of the biggest challenges of carrying a short-barrel handgun: keeping the grip close to your body for better concealment.

The compact size of the CDS9 makes it an excellent everyday carry handgun. However, shorter-barrel pistols can sometimes tip outward when carried inside the waistband. Our molded-in Tuck n Roll feature and attached Concealment Wing work together to improve stability, reduce grip printing, and create a more comfortable carry position.

Whether you prefer appendix carry or carrying behind the hip, this Kimber CDS9 holster is designed to provide a comfortable, secure fit throughout your day.

Designed for Comfort and Better Concealment

Shorter handguns can present unique challenges when it comes to concealed carry. With less barrel length extending below the beltline, the grip can have a tendency to tip away from the body. This can make concealment more difficult, especially when sitting, bending, or moving throughout the day.

We designed this Kimber CDS9 light-bearing IWB holster to address that issue.

The attached Concealment Wing uses belt pressure to help pull the grip inward toward your body, reducing printing under clothing. Combined with our molded-in Tuck n Roll feature, the holster helps maintain a comfortable position while improving concealment.

The Viridian CTL light also provides a broader contact area below the handgun, helping create a more balanced platform for this compact pistol. The result is a carry setup that works well for a wide range of body types and carry preferences.

Precision Designed and Manufactured In-House

At MK-Tek Holsters, we believe a properly fitting holster starts with accurate measurements and careful design. We use 3D scans of the Kimber CDS9 and Viridian CTL light to develop the correct geometry in our CAD software.

This allows us to design the holster around the actual handgun and light combination rather than relying on approximate dimensions or generic patterns.

Our manufacturing process goes beyond simply forming a piece of Boltaron around a mold. We develop dedicated tooling for each holster design, including:

• Precision Molds: Developed using our 3D scan data and CAD designs to provide proper clearances and consistent fitment.
• Custom Trim Fixtures: Help us maintain repeatable trimming and consistent holster profiles.
• Folding Jigs: Allow us to form each holster shell to the intended specifications.
• Test Fitting: Every design goes through a fitting process to verify proper fit and function.

We manufacture our holsters in-house in Rockland, Massachusetts, giving us control over the design, production, and quality of the finished product.

Frequently Asked Questions – Kimber CDS9 Viridian CTL IWB Holster

Does this holster fit the Kimber CDS9 without the Viridian CTL light?

No. This holster is specifically designed around the Kimber CDS9 equipped with the Viridian CTL light. The light is an integral part of the holster’s fit and retention system. A different holster configuration is required if you carry the CDS9 without the light.

Is the Kimber CDS9 Viridian CTL holster compatible with red dot optics?

Yes. This IWB holster includes an optics cut to accommodate compatible slide-mounted red dot sights. You can carry your Kimber CDS9 with an installed optic without sacrificing the convenience of a custom-fitted light-bearing holster.

Can I use this Kimber CDS9 holster for appendix carry?

Absolutely. This holster is designed to work well for appendix carry, as well as behind-the-hip carry. The molded-in Tuck n Roll feature and Concealment Wing work together to improve concealment and help keep the grip closer to your body.

What is the purpose of the Concealment Wing?

The Concealment Wing uses pressure from your belt to help pull the handgun grip inward toward your body. This helps reduce printing under clothing, making your Kimber CDS9 easier to conceal. It is particularly helpful with shorter-barrel handguns that can have a tendency to tip outward.

What is the Tuck n Roll feature?

Tuck n Roll is a molded-in design feature that helps position the handgun grip closer to your body. By improving the relationship between the holster and handgun, it helps reduce the outward tipping that can occur with compact, short-barrel pistols. It also contributes to a more comfortable carry position, by pushing the muzzle out and the top of the grip back in towards the body.

Is the retention adjustable on this light-bearing holster?

Yes. Retention is adjustable and is based on the Viridian CTL light unit. The holster is designed around the handgun and attached light, with the light serving as the primary retention point.

Can I adjust the ride height of the holster?

Yes. The holster offers adjustable ride height so you can fine-tune its position to your preferred carry location and personal comfort.
