I was just getting to know my Micro 9 and was loving it. But the P365 came out it just made more sense for the small 9mm I was looking for. So no long term experience with the Micro 9 but I have no plans to sell/trade, it's a sweet piece.




Set the controls for the heart of the Sun.

Don’t tell my pair of P365’s this, but I end up carrying my Micro 9 more than them.
It’s slightly smaller, thinner and since I’ve mounted optics on my 365’s more pocketable for when I need that sort of concealment.
Less rounds? Yes, but I’m as accurate with it as the 365 at reasonable defensive distances. I will admit that I shoot either 365 better, but there may be a slight advantage with the sight.
I bought my 2 tone new, cleaned it thoroughly, polished the feed ramp, oiled liberally and racked the slide about 200 times before ever firing a shot. I’ve had no malfunctions with the exception that my 8 round mags when loaded with 147 HST rounds do not like to load the first round easily, but run like a top after I smack the back of the slide to get it started. I suppose I should change rounds, but I’ve got a supply of them and when it’s firing, there are no issues. I’m keeping mine, but also the 365’s.

My wife and I got a set of matching two-tone Micro 9's shortly after they came out. Function has always been perfect and they carry nice. I know Kimber has earned its spotty reliability reputation, but somehow they got the Micro 9 right. I'd have no second thoughts about buying another.



Hater of fun since 2001!

Micro 9 simply runs well.
Mine shoots accurately as mentioned above.
However the size makes it a defensive tool only.
It is not the enjoyable shoot of the 365 and especially does not compare to the 365 XL.


Too many SIGs .. ... Nah not really
