Kimber Micro 9

The Kimber Manufacturing is one of the most successful American firearm producer that is specializing in manufacturing, design and also distribution of various small arms such as the Solo pistols, M1911 pistols and rifles. The Kimber company has been producing firearms since the 1979, when this company was known as “Kimber of Oregon” and focused in accurate .22 rifles.

Kimber Micro 9 is a single-action, recoil-operated semi automatic pistol. The model Micro 9 was introduced back in 2016 and it currently ranks among the most popular handguns developed by Kimber Manufacturing. Due to its compact size, the Kimber Micro-9 is also considered one of the best choices for everyday concealed carry and the pistol is a popular go-to carry gun especially in the states with stricter CCW laws. This tiny wonder by Kimber is based on the design of the most popular pistol ever produced - the M1911. As full size 1911 pistols are rather difficult to conceal, the Kimber Micro-9 might serve as an excellent alternative for everyone who is a fan of America’s best renowned handgun. The Kimber Micro-9 is chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum. However, in 2017, Kimber Manufacturing also released a second variant of the Kimber Micro pistol, chambered for the .380 ACP. The .380 caliber version is even more compact and it can serve as an excellent pocket backup gun.

Just like mentioned above, the Kimber Micro-9 relies on the use of the 9mm cartridge (Luger or Parabellum), one of the most popular and budget-friendly service and self-defense pistol calibers. The Micro 9 can store up to 6 rounds of ammo in its single-stack magazine. The overall capacity of 6+1 rounds might not satisfy those who prefer competition and range shooting, but it’s more than enough for everyday carry purposes, which this pistol was originally designed for. Kimber has also recently introduced a 7+1 rounds extended magazine, so that the Micro 9 stands a better chance against its main CCW competitors such as the Glock 43X, SIG P365, or Springfield Hellcat, or even the SIG P320 Compact.

Just like its name suggests, the Kimber Micro-9 is a micro-compact 9mm pistol. And it really belongs to the smallest and most compact guns available in the concealed carry market.

These compact dimensions make the model Micro 9 one of the best choices for everyday concealed carry.

The frame of this pistol is made of aluminum and it features a stainless steel slide. While these materials make the Kimber Micro-9 slightly heavier, it’s much more durable and less prone to malfunction than its main polymer-framed competitors. The default version of Micro-9 pistol features beautiful checkered rosewood grips, stamped with Kimber’s logo. If the pistol is combined with a well-made Kimber Micro 9 leather holster, it becomes a real treat for the eyes.
