My New Kimber Micro .380

[Jimster]

I saw this at Rural King and couldn't resist. I usually carry a 1911 but I have a Ruger LCP II for a pocket pistol. I really like having a thumb safety so picked up this Kimber. It doesn't like WWB flat nosed fmj but it is flawless with Remington and Ferderal round nosed fmj. Very accurate and pleasant to shoot. It's a tad bit heavier than my LCP II but still very comfortable to pocket carry.
I think I'll gift my LCP II to my son.

Congrats, those Kimber Micros, along with the Colt Mustang and Sig P238 are great 380 pocket pistols. My K imber took a few hundred rounds to break in and accept about any 380 brand I experimented with. I trust yours is new and has the revised recoil spring and guide.

 

[Jimster]

Yes it does.

That's a nice looking pistol, Jimster.
Congrats.

 

[Jimster]

Thank you. It's a joy to shoot.

I got a little Micro Desert 380 last month and had no issues "breaking in." Just works, and is a great little pocket gun.

NIce looking pistol.

I like the safety, and the sights.

My wife's 238 is very accurate for being a little thing, and pretty pleasant to shoot. I'm sure you will like the Kimber

 

[Balrog]

Nice looking Kimber. Too bad it won't shoot all brands of ammo.

 

[Jimster]

I agree. And for $500.

I'm going to have to try some WWB ammo in mine and see what happens. Flat nose is probably the issue, but will be interesting to see how mine fares. I've fired PMC, Federal, Sig, UMC, and Hornady XTP with only a bad primer on a UMC round.

 

[Jimster]

Let me know how it goes. My LCP II eats the WWB without any trouble.

My Sig 238 eats the flat nosed Winchesters without a hitch. In fact, I don't think I have ever had any kind of stoppage with the 238. It is also surprisingly accurate. I don't think my 238 is as pretty as the Kimber, though.

I have a Mustang Pocketlite, It has never failed with any ammo I tried. They are a great platform.
