Kimber Mfg.,inc 4200422 KDS9C Dovetail Rear Sight Optic Plates Kit Black/Blank Rear Sight

The Kimber Mfg., Inc. 4200422 KDS9C Dovetail Rear Sight Optic Plates Kit is a precision-engineered mounting solution designed for shooters who demand modular optic flexibility on their Kimber 9mm compact pistols. This dovetail-mounted plate system allows rapid transition between traditional iron sights and modern optic-ready configurations, making it an essential upgrade for duty, competitive, and defensive pistol platforms. Built for professionals who rely on adaptability in the field, the KDS9C delivers the mounting precision required for accurate sight picture and zero retention across multiple optic types.

Engineered with dovetail indexing, the Kimber KDS9C plates ensure repeatable mounting geometry that maintains zero when optics are swapped or reinstalled—critical for law enforcement and military applications where equipment changes must not compromise accuracy. The blank rear sight design eliminates traditional notch interference, providing an unobstructed sight picture when optics are mounted. Manufactured to Kimber's exacting tolerances, the kit's black finish resists corrosion and glare, while the compact form factor (4 × 0.25 × 4 inches) adds minimal weight (0.13 lbs) without sacrificing structural rigidity required for 9mm recoil management.

This optic plate kit benefits Kimber Mfg., Inc. KDS9C pistol owners—including tactical professionals, armed security personnel, and recreational shooters upgrading to micro red dot or reflex sights. Installation requires no gunsmithing when the dovetail is factory-cut; users simply seat the plate into the existing dovetail, ensuring alignment with the slide's centerline. The blank rear sight configuration provides iron sight backup capability when paired with co-witnessed optic mounts, delivering the redundancy demanded in high-stakes environments. Compatibility is precise to Kimber KDS9C platforms, making this an OEM-grade solution for shooters prioritizing reliability and precision mounting in one compact package.
