The Kimber Micro 9 Stainless is a compact semi-automatic pistol in 9mm Luger, designed for concealed carry. The aluminum frame keeps weight at 15.6 oz, and the 3.15-inch barrel keeps overall length to 6.1 inches, dimensions that work for IWB or pocket carry without printing badly under light clothing.

Features 

The match-grade aluminum trigger is factory set around 7 lbs, heavier than a competition gun, but appropriate for a carry pistol. Crimson Trace Lasergrips are built into the rosewood grips and activate on grip, giving you an aiming reference in low-light without fumbling for a separate activation switch. The green fiber optic front sight and white dot rear work well in daylight. The 1.06-inch width is notably thin for a pistol with a 7-round magazine.

The Kimber Micro 9 Stainless Lasergrip draws consistent praise for its size and build, with a few reliability caveats that come up regularly.

The compact dimensions are the main selling point, and owners confirm that it carries as well as advertised. The stainless finish and Kimber fit-and-finish quality get positive marks. It feels like a quality piece, not a budget carry gun. Trigger feel is generally well-received: smooth pull, consistent reset. The integrated Crimson Trace laser is genuinely useful for low-light situations, though a few owners note the battery needs periodic replacement and the zero can shift if the grips take a hard impact.

Reliability is the most discussed concern. Some owners report occasional jams or feeding issues during the break-in period, particularly with certain hollow-point loads. Most find this resolves after a few hundred rounds of ball ammo; others find it persists and requires a trip back to Kimber. At the price point Kimber commands, this generates frustration. A few owners feel a $700+ carry gun should run clean out of the box. The 7-round capacity is on the lower end for a single-stack 9mm in this size class, though most accept it as a tradeoff for the slim profile.

Pleasant to shoot, though my trigger finger can block the laser.
