Steel sights are mounted in machined dovetails rather than plastic inserts, which gives them long-term durability and allows for aftermarket sight swaps. A beveled magazine well aids reloads under pressure. At 1.06 inches wide and 15.6 oz empty, the Micro 9 is genuinely thin for a 9mm. It carries flat in a holster or pocket without printing much. The Crimson Trace Lasergrips integrate into the grip panels and activate with a natural firing grip, adding a targeting option without requiring a rail-mounted device. Single-action operation produces a light, short trigger pull, which aids accuracy but means the gun must be carried with the hammer down on an empty chamber or with the safety engaged. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the Kimber Micro 9?** A: The Kimber Micro 9 is chambered in 9mm. **Q: Who makes the Micro 9?** A: The Micro 9 is made by Kimber. **Q: What type of firearm is the Kimber Micro 9?** A: It is a compact single-action semi-automatic pistol. **Q: What is the barrel length of the Kimber Micro 9?** A: The Kimber Micro 9 has a 3.15-inch barrel. **Q: How many rounds does the Kimber Micro 9 hold?** A: It has a 6-round capacity. **Q: Does the Kimber Micro 9 come with a laser?** A: This model includes Crimson Trace Lasergrips, which integrate into the grip panels and activate with a natural firing grip. **Q: Where can I buy the Kimber Micro 9?** A: Compare current vendor offers on this page. ## What Reviewers Say *Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > You have to have a good strong solid grip on this gun so if you grip it real hard the little knee in your grip right here will switch the actual laser off. > > — [Rasta Arms](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4tM9rhpGEc&t=366s) > The Glock fits I mean just perfect. That little pinky extension definitely makes a difference. > > — [Outdoors Actual](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttwX0I6ylJU&t=134s) > Warranty process no hassles no nothing they fixed it and shoot great now. > > — [Rasta Arms](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4tM9rhpGEc&t=692s) > The problem with the Sig I thought was it was real boxy so if you carried it in your pocket the corners of it would kind of dig into you a little bit. > > — [Outdoors Actual](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttwX0I6ylJU&t=167s) > I will say which one would I honestly carry more? It's probably the 43. > > — [Outdoors Actual](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttwX0I6ylJU&t=219s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* Owners who carry the Micro 9 daily tend to be its strongest advocates. The slim profile and FDE color scheme come up regularly as selling points. Build quality is consistently praised. Kimber's machining tolerances and finish quality are perceived as premium for the class. The Crimson Trace laser receives specific positive feedback for practical usefulness, especially in low-light situations where aligning iron sights is difficult. The recurring criticisms are recoil and capacity. At 15.6 oz with a 3.15-inch barrel, 9mm recoil is more noticeable than in heavier or longer guns, which affects follow-up shot accuracy for less experienced shooters. A 6-round magazine is below average for 9mm pistols of similar price, and that gap gets noted in comparisons. Price is also discussed. The Micro 9 sits at the higher end of compact 9mm pricing, and potential buyers weigh whether the Kimber name and build quality justify the cost difference versus alternatives. ## Pricing **1 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Guns Com | $853.99 | ## Similar Products - [Kimber Micro 9 Two Tone LG 9mm Pistol w/ Crimson Trace Laser Grips](https://gunsnation.com/p/kimber-micro-9-two-tone-lg-9mm-pistol-w-crimson-trace-laser-grips/UCBmXvft3) - [Kimber Micro 9 Stainless Lasergrip - Compact 9mm Personal Defense Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/kimber-micro-9-stainless-lasergrip-compact-9mm-personal-defense-pistol/UCBmXvqzC) - [Kimber Micro 9 Rapide Dawn: Silver 9mm Compact Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/kimber-micro-9-rapide-dawn-silver-9mm-compact-pistol/UCBmXvfvP) - [Kimber Micro 9: Compact OD Green LaserGrip Pistol - 9mm Luger](https://gunsnation.com/p/kimber-micro-9-compact-od-green-lasergrip-pistol-9mm-luger/UCBmXvfmw) - [Kimber Micro 9 Triari - Lightweight Compact 9mm Pistol, 7-Round](https://gunsnation.com/p/kimber-micro-9-triari-lightweight-compact-9mm-pistol-7-round/UCBmXvfsR) - [Kimber Micro 9 Sapphire - Compact 9mm Pistol with Blue PVD Finish](https://gunsnation.com/p/kimber-micro-9-sapphire-compact-9mm-pistol-with-blue-pvd-finish/UCBmXvfcF) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
