Kimber Micro 9 1911 Review 

Soitch00--Excellent review and I'm glad that you have your kids involved. Kimber dropped their solo due to unspecified problems so if you have a reliable one keep it!-lol My grandson and I bought a Sig p238 "black pearl" that has been flawless like my shields and lcp's. A family member and I do things in 2's-ha..Always look at the kimbers but remember the owners that are dissatisfied..I demand 100% reliability in my pistols and would kick myself if I bought one and had problems even though I was warned. I've finally got my .25 colt "mighty mouse" running 100% but it has been not a hobby but a mission! I haven't seen a mouse in years and feed squirrels so haven't decided what to use it for--lol

I got into handguns some 48 years ago because I love shooting and the aesthetics of the gun. It’s like owning a Rolex watch that can protect your life and look good at doing that. Perfect machinery! What holds companies like Kimber and others to that standard are honest reviews like this one being broadcasted over the Internet and consumers insisting on quality products and services. I purchased a Kimber and I had a problem with the safety which they rectified without question. It’s good to see Kimber stand behind its reputation and products. It’s also good to see reviews like this one keeping us all abreast of what’s going on in the market. Thanks!

This maybe the most American channel on all of RU-vid. Terrific and detailed review !

I've had a micro 9 for about two years and love it. Also have and love the ultra carry 45. Even tho my edc is a G26 I still carry them once in a while. My dad pocket carries his micro every day. Hey Sootch.....your kids inspired my daughter to ask for some range time tomorrow! Thanks brother!

Just purchased a Kimber Micro 9 and took it to the range without first cleaning it (I’ve never done this before) . 50 flawless rounds of 115 grain, zero malfunctions and very accurate with manageable recoil. Impressive right out of the box.

This is one of the most beautiful guns I own. Love mine. Easy to carry and super acurate. Your kids looked like they enjoyed shooting it. Great video brother !

Enjoyed all the great and honest info. Thanks so much. I just bought the micro 9 in the Raptor. It does have all the bells and whistles. A very accurate and superbly made 1911 micro. I love the gun.

A well done review, I always enjoy your videos Based on your review of the Kimber Micro 9 I'm going to purchase a new Kimber tomorrow, thank's so much.

I use one of these for my carry. I enjoy shooting it. The grip angle and sights make bringing up an excellent sight picture right away each time. No regrets purchasing this little guy. Great review as always!

Glad I watched this before picking up a micro 9 for edc. Really am loving it, it’s a well crafted firearm indeed.

cool little pistol...glad you didn't have any issues with it...Kimber makes great pistols despite what some folks think 😎

Just wanted to drop you a line to applaud you for your muzzle control, (safety wise & control while firing), constructive criticisms, and honest opinions on this firearm. Will be checking out your other videos. Thanks! (Btw, I don't work for Kimber, although I'm sure they pay better than my day job! ;)

you make the best videos. I bought the TP9SF Elite after watching your video on it

Great video. I bought a Micro 9 CDP three days before you posted the video. I waited until after my 1st range trip to watch; glad I waited. Front strap serrations are beneficial and mine fed, fired, and ejected all the ammo I fed it; including Winchester White Box. Flush fit mags had no issues but I had the same issues with the 7-round mags. Also, my trigger is definitely heavier than yours.

Ha an "older" video but very informative, thanks Sir! Love to see them kids enjoying sootch00. God Bless and Support from the Netherlands 🇱🇺😊❤👍🏻

I got one this week and shot it for the first time yesterday. I love it!

The best micro 9 review I’ve seen. Thanks

For sure the Kimber micro nine is a gorgeous , well made gun and a lot of fun to shoot. I use mine as one of my every day carry pieces. Just. wished it came with more than one mag.

I have this pistol in two tone and absolutely love mine yes the recoil is snappy but not uncontrollable I mean your not sharp shooting with but 10-15 yards very accurate . And man the action the action is smooth and to me the best trigger for the category 1000 rounds of federal so far no issues great little pistol

I really like mine its my daily carry and very accurate it even has crimson trace grips which were spot on out of the box

Loved the review. I've had a Micro-9 for 8 months now, in fact the same you reviewed. The reliability issues I experiences were due to break in, specifically the magazine causing a failure to feed. It took almost 300 rounds to get everything broken in and feeling comfortable, in its reliability, to use as a full time CCW. Also, Kimber states that the micro-9 was designed for 124 gr premium loads. I haven't run into any issues running my 147 gr Speer lawman for practice and HST LE for carry but an interesting note. All and all, over 1000 rounds through it and I'm confident in with it and its reliability. I'm happy I chose this and not my usual Sig, I went in looking for a P938 and got a better deal on the Kimber.

Got my micro 9 on sale at Cabelas for $439.00. Great deal for a great gun!

I kept thinking this review was too long but it had so much good material. Great review!

Sootch thanks for your wonderful videos and firearm reviews !!

WOW! That is a beautiful little handgun. NICE.

Great review. Great gun too. Kimber firearms are just top quality.

another excellent review. It’s always good when your gun “nestles in your hand“. Kimber is a nice looking pistol. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the review - everything about this pistol is attractive. Of course, prices here in Q2 2021 COVID-19 are 50% higher.

Excellent review ! I held one for the first time and loved the feel. It’s just a matter of time!

Great review. I'm getting one in two days. I have the 380 micro and loved it so now......:)

Very nice review, thanks for taking the time.

Love your channel your very informative. Get as lot if helpful info from you. From my newly purchased kimber to my glock 19 gen

These little pistols are cool. Good review as usual. Love the music soundtrack during the first part.

I'm not much of a Kimber firearms fan, but I will say this little guy is pretty darn cool! Seems to be a really awesome carry concealed weapon that I will definitely look at or into next time I'm at the gun shop or range. Thanks Sootch🙏🏼🇺🇸

been so curious why no major youtubers except Nutnfancy have videos about the Kimber Micro 9. thanks for making this!

I’m a 76Yr old male and I just bought one for pocket Cary now . Did Cary a S ad Weston 38Spl. Thank you for the great review. Take care and God Bless

Kimber hit it out of the park with K6S Love that gun!

You are dead on on the recoil. Very snappy. Love this gun.

I own both the micro 380 and the micro 9 . I extended that slide release and raised and extended the mag releases on both. Now I can operate both slide and mag releases without changing hand position. Mag changes can be done in less than half the time. Safety, mag and slide release all in one place.

Best review of the Kimber Micro 9 that I have seen.

Enjoyed your video a great deal, very thorough! Bought the same model you have about a month ago, shot it about 8 times at an indoor range in the Richmond area, really enjoy this pistol! Shout out to Dominion Shooting Range! I did have some failure to eject problems with 118 grain ammo, Armscor 124 grain solved this, I did become aware that I might have been limp wristing the pistol so I fixed that. I did buy some Truglo Tfx pro sights that no one wants to install! I did put in a M*Carbo spring set that really helps an already awesome trigger pull! I think this is a great choice EDC along with a Crossbreed AIWB holster! Just need to put some defense rounds through it feel good about proper cycling with them. Sounds odd but I love cleaning this pistol!

Seems like a nice addition to the current crop of 9mm sub-compacts/mini-1911s. Had I not already own a SA EMP, this would be on my consideration list.

I've worked my way through multiple CC pistols (including the HK VP9SK) before settling on the Micro 9 as my daily carry. It's size and quality being it's strongest selling points. No where near as comfortable or accurate as my VP9SK, but again, it's size (for OWB conceal carry) is ideal.

Super nice review! Thanks so much. BTW I subscribed

I have this in 380 and love it.

I remember back when Para Ordnance released the Warthog 45 and I bought & carried one for many years before switching to a Kimber Pro Covert 2.

Kimber is a well built firearm...right here in the USA. As my father would say "Hell for Stout"

Always cool to see the sootch00 kids in the vids

Just bought mine today very happy with it.

I own the micro 9 and love it. 0 problems. It is snappy and you have to grip it hard.

I've got one of my own and it's a great little pistol

Thanks sootch. Most of the kimbers ive owned have suffered from problems when my friends/family shoot them and ride the recoil. I never had a problem myself, but if you dont hold them on target firmly, they will jam more frequently. Just what ive noticed.

Missed you at the Greenville show! Great video!

I’m getting this in one week. It will be my first ever gun. And i’ve only ever fired a pistol once before this. I’m excited

Another great vid!!!

I love your videos!

His smile is so wholesome

Solid vid. Count me in the camp that purchased a Micro 9, and experienced horrific results. Mag would not load with ammo without manipulating. FTF, FTE. Made it through 20 rounds before declaring health and safety risk to continue. Cabela’s indicates “normal” and to either stick with it for 500 rounds or return to Kimber.

Sootch-meister, thanks for the review. I have a Micro9 with Crimson Trace laser grips. Those grips eat batteries like crazy ! Just ordered some nice, VZ GRIPS to replace those CT grips. One thing though, the Micro9 kicks pretty good. However, I use it as a BUG. So the recoil isn't a big issue. Eats any ammo I give it.

Wow cool, a non~plastic pistol review!

I'm about to pull the trigger, pun intended...on buying this exact one off gunbroker. Thanks for confirming its beauty in design and firing. I also own the Springfield 1911 10mm long slide too. Excellent review!

Great review. Thank you

Thanks for an honest review

@sootch tell gunbuyer.com that you were the reason I bought my Walther PPQ SC from them. And I'm likely to buy a PPS or a micro 9 from them. Dot-dot. And you mentioned them in your video and that's a huge boost of confidence for any Customer because your videos are top-notch. I'm thrilled with my gunbuyer.com purchases of my PPQ, additional magazines, Etc.

Seth looked like a straight up gangster one handing it in the intro, with a mean mug!

Being a lefty, I can say that in my case, I've learned to adapt to the controls on a firearm. So, not having a safety or mag release on the right side of the grip is not a big deal.

My edc is a Colt Mustang XSP in same segment but preferred over this Micro, P238 or 911 but all are fantastic really.

I love the lines of the 1911, so of course I love the look of the Micro 9. It does look like it could get uncomfortable to do extended shooting sessions with especially for someone like me that has arthritis in my wrists.

I have been carrying my micro 9 for about a yr. it’s a fantastic CCW handgun. Cocked and locked and ready to rock.. never had a malfunction in all the Ammo fired used.

I bought a Kimber TLE2 a coupe years ago for a good price. So far, I really like it and have had almost no problem with it malfunctioning at all. Also, I own a Para Ordnance P12-45 LDA. I wasn't sure how is like a double stack 1911, but so far it's a nice shooting small 1911ish pistol that holds 12 rounds. The light double action feels similar to a sticker fired pistol.

Sootch Your videos and reviews are to notch! I own a Kimber Micro 9 STG and enjoy the shoot very much. I was going to Trade it in for a Glock 43x but after watching the Glock 43x review and this review I honestly think I need to own both guns LOL.

That is a thing of beauty! 👍👍🇺🇸

Great video. I carry a G43 with a ets 9 round mag with a gripx adaptor and a Johnny glock carry trigger, Trijicon HD sights in a appendix rig every day.

Great REVIEW!!!

I think this is going to be my next gun purchase for sure. Nice medium sized pistol.

Wow great review that looks very similar to the P93 and how it breaks down assembles. The spring for the slide stop and and release you push down to slide on the slide. I just picked up and Aegis ultra 9mm and shot 200 rounds yesterday no issue. I love it and my first Kimber. Needed a softer shooter than my 45, 40, and sometimes the 938 is snappy when my arthritis kicks up. Now so want one of these.. How is the snappiness compared to the 938. Might get one for the wife too!

0:42 prefect style of firing pistol!

My Kimber Micro 9 has been an excellent buy. When I was buying it, some guy stopped by to talk about---you know the story---a friend of friend whose Kimber wasn't worth a darn or was really picky about ammo. Blah blah blah. It's run everything I've put through it. It's always gone bang. Trigger is phenomenal.

I just purchased a Kimber Micro 9....and immediately bought 8 mag clip from gunmag warehouse...based on your recommendation...

For all of those talking crap on this Firearm, I suspect 98% have never even held one. I get so tired of people spewing the same crap they heard somewhere, to make it seem like they know something. I own Glock, s&w, ruger, colt, etc., So not a Kimber fanboy by far, but I do own this pistol and am at roughly 400 rounds and not one failure...I repeat not one. Also, it is not uncomfortable to shoot. If you think it is then pick up a lcr in 357. That will show you what uncomfortable is. Lol Great and fair review Sootch!

What a beauty!!!! Definitely is a pretty good looking gun.

Very nice video thanks for share it !!

Find a Rural King store and their regular price is $519 all the time. I bought mine there about 6 months ago have shot maybe a 1000 rounds through it and had 3 malfunctions. It was one trip to the range and I had found Blazer Brass on sale and tried a box. All other brands of ammo have functioned flawlessly even the cheaper stuff. I have read reviews of people having the same issue with Blazer Brass. I won't buy any more. I absolutely love this gun myself. Very good review, very informative.

I just bought the micro 9 bel aire version with the white grips and blue frame just two days ago, and I really like this little thing. It's real pretty, and fits my hand very well, and has quite the kick to it I don't know if it's my specific gun, or just Kimbers in general, but the springs in it are really strong. It takes a lot of strength to pull the slide back, and the spring in the magazine is WAY stronger than it needs to be. My dad is pretty strong, but he didn't bother loading the full 7 rounds in the mag because it was just too hard for him. Other than that, it's a gorgeous and powerful itty-bitty pistol

Great review Sootch00 and love the look of stainless steel on firearms. As always long live the republic my friend.

You have the “Sarah Conner?” terminator face while on range. I like all videos!! Good show!

My summer carry!

I picked up a Micro 9 two weeks ago. It is a beautiful little pistol. So far mine is functioning perfectly. I have one of the 8 round mags, and a custom holster on the way.

I have the Ultra Carry II in 45 and I love it, as long as you have to keep it clean and lubed it runs great. However I purchased the micro 9 last year and absolutely hated the gun. I sold it and purchased a Shield 2.0 and a ton of ammo. Based firearm decision I made of 2017!

Sootch, great as always! Don’t understand how anyone gives a thumbs down. Just ignore the haters!!

Just bought one today I gave just a little bit more for it than when your video was made but I haven't shot it yet but I think it's going to be awesome I've shot 1911's for years I am a softball I understand some of the limitations but I have learned to compensate

Great review as always! Could you please do a similar review of the Sig P938? Thanks.

Your kids are a hoot, when dads not watching, and the camera is on! ;)

This is my dream gun. I aspire to own one one day.

just bought one 30 minutes ago..cant wait to run it

I just bought the micro 9 esv with the rose copper barrel and I love it it runs like a top

Kimber micro vs Kimber ultra carry Don I bought the ultra carry my friend bought the micro one day at the gun shop ended up a great day.🇺🇸

sootch00-- it seems your are reaping the rewards of some fine parenting. kudos to you and best of luck to your "young'uns"

I got the micro 380 in 2018 then last april i got the micro 9 honestly i love em both i installed a spring kit from mcarbo in both and one hell of a difference in trigger pull i carry the 9 daily it is soveasy to concell honestly ive carried both at same time several times i love these guns well worth the money to get a real gun not one that fells like a plastic toy

Had one loved it got the kimber 45 custom II
