Which one should I get and why?
All my Kimber 1911s must be defective ... none of them have ever jammed, not once. My TLE II is superb, the Eclipse gorgeous, the Tactical Pro excellent, and my CDP Pro reliable enough that I still carry it sometimes ...Do the Kimber Micro9's jam as much as their 1911s?
I'm with you. My Kimbers must have come from the same defective batch as yours. My Custom II TLE and Tactical Pro never fail no matter how much I shoot them. I'm also just a flat out 1911 fan and own several brands. As for the Micro 9, had it existed when I was looking for a 9mm to pocket carry, it certainly would have received serious consideration. Since it hadn't been offered at the time, my EDC is a P938 Extreme...reliable, accurate and easy to pocket carry in a Desantis Super Fly holster.Quick note, not trying to sidetrack the OP's question, but:

I'm not a Kimber fan really, just a 1911 fan. Got more Colts than any other brand, and some quality Springers as well.
But for a micro-sized 9mm in a 1911 style pattern, I'll go with the SIG P-938 every time -- mine is terrific, and the only little gun I ever carry. Garandimal's post above says it all.
I don’t have a Kimber to compare with my P938 but I never had a problem nor any complaints with the Sig. I have about 400 rounds through it of various types of ammo.
