Thanks for the comment. Yes, you are correct. if you have one of the early units you may have the round headed guide rod which is known to be problematic and which Kimber will replace along with the spring. A good illustration of the old and new can be found at the Kimber web site on this topic at store.kimberamerica.com/guide-rod-and-flat-spring-kit-380-acp

Thanks for the info. I just might order extra parts anyway. I have an early model Ruger LCP that had an issue with the guide rod and fixed it with a stainless steel guide rod and heavier recoil spring from Galloway Precision. Something like this could turn into a safety issue real quick if your weapon fails in the middle of a problem with a bad guy.

Thank you for this comment ill be looking into it since I have this very pistol... Ive fired 300 rounds thru it already and its only jammed maybe 3 or 4 times out of 300 rounds so its not too bad

Thanks for the comment. Yep, without a doubt this is great little pistol. By the way, stay tuned for my review of the 9 MM version of Kimber Micro Carry coming soon.

I agree with the reference to Hornady ammo. I'm a believer. I've not personally experienced ammo feed problems with my Kimber Micro 380 or my SIG P238. However, I have found that Critical Defense rounds serve better overall for shot placement. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment.

Yep, this is a very, very popular gun. Thanks for the comment.

That is one of the biggest reasons I bought it. I use 1911's as a carry gun, cocked, locked and one in the pipe. The mouse gun is the same thing, except on a lot smaller scale.

Fairly reliable , I want 100 % .

this is not a 1911 and should not be carryed cocked and locked, there is no grip saftey

Excellent choice. Although I really like my SIG P28, between the two, it's my Kimber Micro 380 that I actually carry. For some reason I'm also a better shot with it. Your reasoning for choosing the Kimber certainly makes sense. Enjoy. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

The Springfield 911, kimber micro and sig p238 can all use the same mags. Springfield’s are only 25 USD each.

The red dot was added to remind my wife when the safety was off. She hates safeties. It was a dot of Bright Sights from Lake Oswego, OR. Good stuff. Very durable. Thanks for watching. If you haven't already, I hope you'll subscribe and check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on KZfaq.

Didn't he say he put the red dot on the safety after he bought it?

You are welcome. This was one of my very first videos and it amazes me that it is still the most viewed of the more than 50 reviews I've made.

I have both and from what I can tell they are about equal on pull with the hammer back or down. Of course the slide is easier on both if the hammer is back. My wife and daughter like both of these guns, but prefer the Kimber - mainly for its looks I think. Hope this helped. Thanks for watching and thanks for the question.

I have the Cadet size Urban Carry G3 holster (their smallest). Great concept, but to be honest, I haven't used it for more than a year. Even though it's their smallest holster, I found it to be just too uncomfortable when sitting and difficult to draw from a sitting position. The same goes for my pocket holsters, which I've used for years. So mostly I carry in conventional OWB and IWB holsters worn at 4:00 or in a cross-draw position. Thanks for the question.

Thanks for the comment. I can relate to the bullet problems you mention. Although I've had no problems with either my 380 or 9mm Kimber Micros, I did have a similar problem with my Kimber Custom 1911. Given what I paid for it, I was really unhappy. It was a friend of mine in law enforcement who suggested a Wilson Combat magazine and that did indeed totally solved the problem. On the other hand, I also had a similar problem with my Walther PPK 380 early on. It was my primary carry weapon at the time and without reliability, as you say, what's the point. In that case I had to experiment with different ammo until I found something that never failed. For me and my particular PPK I found either Hornady Critical Defense or Federal Personal Defense HST rounds were best. I've stuck with Hornady rounds when i was carrying the PPK, because it's never failed and they're easier to find in my location. Hope this helps. Also, excellent choice on the Walther PPQ. An truly outstanding firearm. If you haven't already, you might enjoy my review of the PPQ at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLGTkpWY25uzdoE.html Best Wishes, Mick Mac

From everything that I hear....it is a magazine issue.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 Can you leave a link for the Wilson combat magazine?

Wilson Combat can be found at shopwilsoncombat.com/Magazines-_-Magazine-Accessories/departments/1/

Indeed, I would agree with your recommendations, especially regarding ammo.

Got the belair edition for the wife. Hopefully she will love it!

No problem. I paid $379. Today, the Kimber Mirco Carry has a value of $625.57 new and $533.25 used with a trade-in value of abut $350 according to TrueGunValue.com. Yes, most manufacturers do not honor warranties beyond the first owner although many will try to work with you on repairs. Taurus is the only one that I know of that actually has a real lifetime warranty even if you're not the original owner. Thanks for the questions. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

Depends on the pocket, of course. The Kimber Micro Carry isn't "Vest Pocket" size, but yes, typically it would fit into the front pocket of most blue jeans, for example. However, I wouldn't recommend it without a holster. It's less safe to carry without a holster (especially cocked & locked), it'll be more difficult to draw and it's more likely to "print" without a holster. An inexpensive, soft, lightweight pocket holster (like Sticky size SM-3) would solve all those problems -- and it's more comfortable overall. It's the way I pocket carry my Kimber 380. Works well.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 Thank you for the very helpful and informative answer!

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Stay tuned for my review of the SIG P238 coming soon.

I heard that.

Without the hammer back, I'd say just slightly heavier than my Ruger LCP. With the hammer back, very light. Thanks for watching and thanks for the complement.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 thanks for the reply! And quick reply; at that!!! Impressive! I very much appreciate such things. I just came from a Ruger LCP2; so I can understand exactly the pull you’re referring to. Thanks again, man! Keep it up; you earned a new internet friend today! :)

Kimber America has been headquartered in Troy, Alabama since 2018. The history of Kimber is an interesting one that started back in 1979 in the small town of Clackamas, Oregon. 1989 financial struggles led to the sale of the company, bankruptcy and the sale of Kimber assets. In the mid 1990’s, a Kimber employee (Greg Warne) along with a financial backer (Les Edelman) were able to regain some of the original Kimber tooling and began Kimber America. Eventually Edelman would force Warne out and gain control of Kimber. As Edelman grew the company and its reputation, it was moved from Oregon to New York. However, Kimber was back in the public eye in 2004 when a federal grand jury indicted the Kimber CFO of embezzling $10 million from the company. Later, Kimber Arms would be forced to move from its New York and New Jersey locations due to political opposition and relocate its manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in Troy, Alabama which is where the are today.

I guess that would be a matter of opinion. I think it's reasonable. Lighter than a Ruger LCP, more than a SIG P232. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 Noted thank you. I’ll also check out Sig P232 then. 😁

That's true when compared to even Kimber's Micro 9, but it also appears to me that the smaller the gun (pocket size vs compact or full size), the fewer the aftermarket options for most makes of guns. Beyond holsters, I see that Crimson Trace still makes a grip activated laser unit for the Micro 380 and there are trigger and spring upgrades out there, but that's about it. Still, I love this pistol. It's one of my favorites. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.
