The slide and barrel are made from 416R stainless steel with a DLC coating.

The beavertail is extended, as are the slide release and magazine release.<\/p>\n<p>The slide includes three ports on either side and a window cut on top. The barrel is not ported but is fluted for weight reduction. It has a 1:10 twist rate, recessed crown, and measures 3.91 inches long. The slide includes an RMR pattern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/parts-and-accessories\/scopes-and-optics\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=full-feature-anderson-manufacturing-kiger-9c-pro-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">optics<\/a> cut and a set of blacked out suppressor height sights. There is also a chamber-loaded indicator on the right side of the slide that is a pop out extension of the extractor.<\/p>\n<p>The sights are a bit of overkill because the gun does not have a threaded barrel. There is a suppressor-ready version of this pistol called Kiger 9C Pro SR that comes with a non-fluted, 1\/2\u00d728 threaded barrel and tuned recoil spring.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"541\" alt=\"Anderson Kiger 9C Pro gun in a DeSantis M71 Vanquisher IWB holster\" class=\"wp-image-87404 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?resize=300%2C254&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?resize=150%2C127&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?resize=640%2C541&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?resize=640%2C541&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Anderson Kiger 9C Pro gun in a DeSantis M71 Vanquisher IWB holster\" class=\"wp-image-87404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?resize=300%2C254&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-7.jpg?resize=150%2C127&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The DeSantis M71 Vanquisher IWB holster works well if there is no red dot sight mounted.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>I have a Swamp Fox red dot sight installed on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/springfield-armory-hellcat-9mm-luger-pistol--9319b\/FC-706397929466.html?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=full-feature-anderson-manufacturing-kiger-9c-pro-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hellcat<\/a> and I like it. It is one of the red dot sights that utilizes the RMR mounting platform. I ordered a newer version of the Swamp Fox called the Kingslayer to put on the Kiger.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, once I got a red dot installed and aligned, the suppressor height sight aiming point is superimposed over the red dot aiming point. If for some reason my red dot doesn\u2019t come on, the sights are useful through the red dot window. If you don\u2019t add a red dot or suppressor and want to change the sights, the sights on the Kiger pistols utilize the Glock standard for mounting which means any aftermarket sight designed for a Glock will fit the Kiger.<\/p>\n<p>When entering the incredibly crowded market of polymer-framed 9mm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/firearms\/handguns\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=full-feature-anderson-manufacturing-kiger-9c-pro-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">handguns<\/a>, being successful requires building a gun with features that set it apart. In the case of the Kiger, the first thing that makes it unique is the Anderson name. These folks are incredibly well known for the ARs they build and for good reason. Anderson offers super quality at affordable prices. We\u2019re looking for that in any handgun Anderson builds, and from what I see, it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"520\" alt=\"field stripped Anderson Kiger 9C Pro 9mm gun\" class=\"wp-image-87403 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?resize=300%2C244&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?resize=150%2C122&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?resize=640%2C520&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?resize=640%2C520&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"field stripped Anderson Kiger 9C Pro 9mm gun\" class=\"wp-image-87403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?resize=300%2C244&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-6.jpg?resize=150%2C122&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Takedown for cleaning copies the method Glock made popular utilizing two small push down tabs above the trigger guard, moving the trigger rearward and pushing the slide off the front.

Right away several things speak to me of excellent engineering. The ports on the top and sides of the slide not only lighten the gun, but look really cool. So many carry guns round the top edges of the slide to assist in holstering to make them a little easier to hide, but the flat top and square edges on the Kiger offer a solid sighting platform. They also look really cool without hindering the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/draw-stroke-quickly-present-pistol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">draw<\/a> or concealability in any way I can detect.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, having this gun in an IWB <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/parts-and-accessories\/holsters\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=full-feature-anderson-manufacturing-kiger-9c-pro-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">holster<\/a> and drawing feels so natural I can see this easily becoming one of my favorite carry guns. Its appearance reminds me of some of the race guns competitors use. However, this one comes without a race gun price.<\/p>\n<p>I really like the texture and angle of the grip. It\u2019s the popular 1911-inspired 18-degree grip angle with a texture on the side that offers excellent purchase without being painful. Both the front strap and back strap have small ribs that give your hand the feel of secure purchase, and again without hurting. The size of the grip is optimized so it will fit most hands without the need for various replaceable backstraps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" alt=\"Anderson Kiger 9C Pro 9mm with a Swampfox Kingslayer red dot sight\" class=\"wp-image-87406 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Anderson Kiger 9C Pro 9mm with a Swampfox Kingslayer red dot sight\" class=\"wp-image-87406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-9.jpg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The author installed a Swamp Fox Kingslayer on the Kiger.

The magazine was relatively easy to top off at 15 rounds.

They were especially helpful when the Swamp Fox red dot sight was mounted.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to some 115-grain American Eagle range <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ammunition\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=full-feature-anderson-manufacturing-kiger-9c-pro-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ammo<\/a>, I took JHP rounds in all three of the common 9mm weights \u2014 115, 124, and 147-grain. The Kiger not only eagerly digested the different weights, but it also performed well with all three.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"576\" alt=\"red dot sight superimposed over the suppressor height front blade sight\" class=\"wp-image-87407 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?resize=260%2C300&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?resize=150%2C173&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?resize=500%2C576&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?resize=500%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"red dot sight superimposed over the suppressor height front blade sight\" class=\"wp-image-87407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?resize=260%2C300&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-10.jpg?resize=150%2C173&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>When properly aligned, the red dot from the Kingslayer superimposes over the elevated front sight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>As I suspected when mounting and sighting in the red dot sight at home, when adjusted properly the dot superimposes itself over the tip of the front sight. I shot the gun with and without the red dot sight and found it quite easy to keep my shot groups within a 5-inch circle from 10 to 14 yards. Because I was shooting freehand, any grouping would be subject to my slight hand movements between shots.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I still was consistently producing shot groups clustered around the center of the 5-inch target with a flyer or two here and there. Before shooting the gun, I toyed with the idea of replacing the sights with a set of standard height 3-dot night sights. However, after shooting it with and without the red dot sight mounted, I\u2019m happy with the all-black suppressor-height sights.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"576\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Fiocchi Defense Dynamics ammunition with a Anderson Kiger 9C Pro handgun on a yellow paper bullseye target with bullet holes\" class=\"wp-image-87408 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?w=576&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=576%2C576&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"576\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=576%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fiocchi Defense Dynamics ammunition with a Anderson Kiger 9C Pro handgun on a yellow paper bullseye target with bullet holes\" class=\"wp-image-87408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?w=576&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Kiger-9C-Pro-11.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>This is a typical target fired freehand with Fiocchi 124-grain Jacketed Hollow Point bullets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>One thing you have to be careful of when you have elevated sights on a carry gun is making sure you have a holster you can draw from without the sights hanging up in the holster. I found two holsters that work well with the Kiger. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/desantis\/parts-and-accessories\/holsters\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=full-feature-anderson-manufacturing-kiger-9c-pro-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DeSantis<\/a> M71 Vanquisher IWB holster worked well without the red dot sight mounted.

All in all, I think Anderson did a good job with the Kiger. There are little touches in various places on the gun that give it a rugged look and feel. The Kiger 9C Pro was designed for serious use in a variety of environmental conditions and it does not disappoint.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Kiger 9C Pro is a departure from the ARs Anderson is known for. However, new does not mean, especially when as much attention to detail has been observed during the design and manufacturing process. How does the Kiger 9C Pro compare to your carry gun?
