At SHOT they announced the new, Kiger-9c Pro model with upgrades like suppressor height sights and an optic-ready skeletonized slide, among other details.
Here’s their press release . . .

The Kiger-9c Pro was developed with consumer feedback in mind. This pistol features the Kiger-9c Polymer Frame with an optimized beaver tail, aggressive texturing, undercut trigger guard and forward-underbarrel picatinny rail. The updates on the frame come in the form of enhanced controls, the Pro features an extended magazine and slide release.
The Kiger-9c Pro’s billet slide is manufactured from 416 stainless steel and is Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated. The slide is skeletonized for weight reduction via three ports on either side and one on top, all frontside. The rear sides of the slide feature serrations to optimize handling.
Atop the Kiger-9c Pro’s slide are the steel, blacked out, suppressor-height front and dovetail rear sight flanking the Ruggedized Miniature Reflex (RMR) pattern optic cut.
