I've owned a pair of Ruger KLCR revolvers for the past four years and use them daily for concealed carry, open carry around the property and also open carry while hiking. I've pocket carried the revolvers on occasion but have been looking for a relatively slim, lightweight pocket carry pistol in 9mm that shoots and carries well. Me and my gf shot 100+ rounds through a new Micro 9 this evening and were impressed. I found it easy and fast to shoot, more than accurate enough and 100% reliable shooting 124gr Golden Saber ammunition. My gf shot 36 rounds and did well but had some minor "irritation" on her trigger finger and the web of her shooting hand. Loaded with 6 rounds of 124gr ammo the Micro weighs the same as the KLCR loaded with five rounds of 125gr .357 Mag ammunition. My only complaint was loading the magazines which seemed to be considerably more strenuous than loading SIG P225 or P239 magazines. Overall I think I might of found what I'm looking for once I can buy a black one with a Crimson Trace laser grip. The Micro will be my summer carry gun but I'll still use the KLCRs for concealed carry in the colder months, open carry on my property and hiking.
