![]() ![]() Kimber officials told me that the company has stopped production of the striker- fired Solo Carry pistol to devote more production time to the Micro 9 and all of its variations. Micro 9 PopularityĪpparently I am not alone in my praise of the gun. In short, I found the Micro 9 to be an extremely well-made gun capable of excellent accuracy and flawless reliability. Kimber also offers a slightly extended seven-round magazine for the gun that will allow the shooter to place all three fingers on the frontstrap. With its flush-fitting magazine, the Micro 9 has a capacity of 6+1 rounds. Running this drill over and over again, trying to increase my speed each time, I felt like it was nearly impossible to miss with the little gun. The Micro 9’s sights are big enough to present a very bold sight picture, and the trigger, while a bit heavy at 6.75 pounds, is crisp and manageable with a firm reset. I set up a paper USPSA target at 7 yards and ran failure drills, firing a double-tap to the body with a quick follow-up shot to the head. Though it is not a miniature 1911 internally, the gun is intuitive for its fans to use without packing the size and weight of “Old Slabsides.” My test sample produced groups around 1.25 inches wide at 10 yards and was 100-percent reliable with all of the high-performance defensive loads I used.īut what made me a fan of the Micro 9 is just how well it shot during field exercises. Weighing less than a pound and chambered for the 9mm cartridge, the gun’s manual safety, magazine release and slide stop are all located in the Browning-inspired locations. Kimber introduced the Micro 9 in 2016, and it became an immediate hit with the concealed-carry crowd. The smallest of the rigs covered here, the Vedder LightTuck IWB rig is made of Kydex and has an innovative J-hook for maximum flexibility. ![]()
