From Anderson Manufacturing . . .
Anderson Manufacturing, the leading producer of AR-15 lower receivers, has put decades of experience in precision firearms manufacturing into their first handgun, the new, 100% American-made Anderson Kiger 9c. Inspired by the wild mustangs of southeast Oregon, the Kiger is an independent, bold and powerful take on a compact, 15+1 capacity, 9mm semi-auto 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.
“For almost 70 years, Anderson Manufacturing has been a leader in precision manufacturing and innovation,” said Anderson Manufacturing VP, Charles Anderson. “While known for our lower receivers and rifles, we saw an opportunity to apply our unrivaled engineering and technology to a new design and deliver a high-quality, ultra-reliable and value-priced handgun to the market. The Kiger is the next step in our continued commitment to developing exceptional firearms at an affordable price, and we’re proud to offer gun owners a handgun that is 100% American made and 100% Anderson.”
The Anderson KIGER-9c carries an MSRP of $429 and ships with one magazine. To view a full list of firearm specifications, please visit andersonmanufacturing.com/kiger.

Mossberg also started making a handgun as well. And it makes perfect sense for these long gun companies to do so. There aren’t as many people hunting anymore. So the demand for long guns is going down. But the demand for self-defense handguns is going up.
Yep, most of my hunting rifles have turned into keep sake grandpa hads.
I’m debating with myself right now if I’m done hunting. Age has caught up, big time.
The long guns that are still being made are AR’s. Lots and lots of AR’s.
“ Inspired by the wild mustangs of southeast Oregon…”
More like inspired by Glock.
The phrase your looking for is, the handgun market is less saturated.
You’re welcome. There is too much gunfire during hunting season for no one to be hunting.
Anderson? Thanks but no thanks.
Why? Whats wrong with Anderson, or is it that its a first outing for a pistol for them?
I’ve got several of their lowers and uppers, never had a moments problem with them
Once they dropped out of the 80% market there was no reason to grab one. Oh, and their forgings were almost always out of spec. Not to mention shipping bent drill bits, they have no qc and it’s dangerous to their customers.
Anderson is literally the go to of value and comparison. They are the standard of the industry.
If it’s a complaint about a rifle company making pistols, that’s a P80 Glock pistol. They didn’t create anything new, just something else with their name stamped on it.

PSA sells a $300 dollar Glock clone :

Anderson is the go-to of the ultra cheap. It’s for people who cannot afford trash tier factory guns and instead have to build trash tier guns for themselves. This, costing significantly more than Palmetto’s offering of the same thing, will go nowhere.
Kimber + Rugger = Kiger
A swing and a miss, huh?
The Anderson Kiger 9C, its a Glock 19 Gen 3 platform.
You can see a ‘testing’ review of it here > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQoN6UNDS60
Now that’s just to neat. A polymer framed striker fired pistol with high capacity.
And all that for only $500.
$300

I already have my g19. One of this type is all I need.
If I need another Glock 19 size gat I’ll buy another Taurus G3 for under 300bucks. Mine’s been perfect. With 2 mags too. I’d perhaps get an Anderson complete AR lower…
made here.
checks one box.
“Original polymer frame” my ass… that’s 100% a Strike80 lower and a PSA Dagger slide with a poverty pony rollmark.
Sorry Anderson, Palmetto already out-Andersoned you with their poverty pistol and they did it better and cheaper. Too slow.
The straight backstrap improves the GLOCK Imperfection.
Looks good but that white lettering on the slide has to go.
there are two flavors in that lettering aspect, without the white, just the engraving sorta like the view in the first top pic with the article, and with the white like the other pic.
Oh thank goodness, another uninspiring polymer 9mm. Our lives are now complete…
I would buy a PSA Glock 19 clone over an Anderson Glock 19 clone; at any price.
This one just happens to cost $100 more than the PSA clone; with less features.
I purchased a G3C from psa and received good service, etc. Sold the firearm in a day because mods are limited on such a what it is-it is firearm.
Based on the good service I returned to psa for a LR .308 receiver set. Since detailed .308 receiver photos are not on their site I emailed tech some simple questions. I must have got a hold of stupid because multiple e-mail exchanges turned into a who’s on first skit concluded by the receiver photo I supplied per psa request showed a crack and for me to return the rifle…WTF.
Well WTF turned into me purchasing an Aero Precision receiver set on sale from Primary Arms for around a $100.00 less. All thanks to a stupid psa guy whose now appreciated incompetence save me money, etc. As far as I am concerned if you want beef, fit, etc. in .308 receivers shop around and go with Aero Precision.
My G3C:
– Lakeline ported barrel
– KeepTinkering trigger – great
– SS Guide rod
– SS Striker guide
Solid, 100% ignition and ejection on all types of 9mm, accurate, fun to shoot.
it’s actually built on SCT manufacturing lower which I just purchased which was originally manufactured by strike Industries. I’m assuming strike Industries gave SCT rights to manufacture the lower or perhaps sold them the molds. there is very few minor differences between SCT and strike Industries. strike Industries actually makes a Magwell that’s compatible 100% with SCT and Anderson. I’m assuming Anderson has a deal with SCT they just put Anderson logo on it. the lower just came out about 3 weeks ago and Brownells had a sale for $45! that is dirt cheap that’s why I bought one but it is however phenomenal lower.
