A note to all .380 Micro Carry owners... in this video if you advance to the 5:54 mark you’ll see the guide rod head has a concave “1/2 moon” cut out that is designed to fit to the barrel. Many of these pistols were manufactured with a round guide rod head and recoil spring that was not heat treated properly. This combination will cause failure to feed issues as the recoil spring will lose its expansion strength after only a few hundred rounds. Kimber is aware of this problem and unfortunately (since it’s not a safety issue) never issued a recall. If you have a Micro Carry .380 with a round guide ride head, contact Kimber and they will issue a new guide rod and properly heat treated recoil spring free of charge.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, you are correct. if you have one of the early units you may have the round headed guide rod which is known to be problematic and which Kimber will replace along with the spring. A good illustration of the old and new can be found at the Kimber web site on this topic at store.kimberamerica.com/guide-rod-and-flat-spring-kit-380-acp
Thanks for the info. I just might order extra parts anyway. I have an early model Ruger LCP that had an issue with the guide rod and fixed it with a stainless steel guide rod and heavier recoil spring from Galloway Precision. Something like this could turn into a safety issue real quick if your weapon fails in the middle of a problem with a bad guy.
Thank you for this comment ill be looking into it since I have this very pistol... Ive fired 300 rounds thru it already and its only jammed maybe 3 or 4 times out of 300 rounds so its not too bad

Nice sights, nice size, nice SA trigger, and fairly reliable for a mouse gun. I personally don't like thumb safeties for a carry weapon, but many do. If you're a 1911 person, and comfortable carrying cocked and locked, there's a lot to love about this weapon as a carry piece.
That is one of the biggest reasons I bought it. I use 1911's as a carry gun, cocked, locked and one in the pipe. The mouse gun is the same thing, except on a lot smaller scale.

Same design as Colt mustang, Sig p238, Springfield 911. I have the Springfield and like it for pocket carry. Mine goes bang every time, no feeding issues like mentioned in other comments. Mine is a Hornady fan! It shoots everything I have tried in it but shoots much tighter groups with Hornady hollow points.
I agree with the reference to Hornady ammo. I'm a believer. I've not personally experienced ammo feed problems with my Kimber Micro 380 or my SIG P238. However, I have found that Critical Defense rounds serve better overall for shot placement. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment.

Great review 👍. Just ordered this same exact Micro 380 model, after deciding between the Kimber and the Sig P238. The Kimber just seemed more polished (i.e. larger beaver tail, larger safety, chamfered slide, etc.). Plus, the Micro 380 was cheaper than the P238 during my search and extra Kimber mags are less than half the price of Sig’s.
Excellent choice. Although I really like my SIG P28, between the two, it's my Kimber Micro 380 that I actually carry. For some reason I'm also a better shot with it. Your reasoning for choosing the Kimber certainly makes sense. Enjoy. Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

I just picked up a Kimber Micro .380 Rosewood and really like this little pistol. Comfortable to shoot, handles like my 1911's and I love the sights. Very accurate too. However, there are two things that I would like to caution new shooters on. One is, make sure your carry ammo feeds reliably through this pistol. Mine absolutely does not want to run with large cavity hollow points such as Corbon or Remington Ultimate Defense ammo. It fed Federal HST, Hornady Critical Defense and of course all of the FMJ I tested just fine. Secondly, do NOT just drop a round in the chamber and let the slide ram home. The extractor is a one piece design just like its big brother 1911 and can be damaged or bent in this manner. Always feed rounds from a magazine as it was designed for. Overall, it is a great little pistol and I'm glad I bought it.

Thanks for the comment. Yep, without a doubt this is great little pistol. By the way, stay tuned for my review of the 9 MM version of Kimber Micro Carry coming soon.
The Patent for the Colt "Mustang" expired several years ago and Sig, Kimber and Springfield now produce the same handgun. It has been modified by Sig and Kimber to offer it as a 9mm. All 3 manufacturers produce an excellent product. ( The slide profile is slightly different on the Springfield "911". ) All 3 will reliably interchange parts and magazines. At a price premium the Sig version is available in all Stainless steel with an ~4 ounce weight penalty (the HD model). Unless you are prepared to pay the price DON'T let your wife try one when looking for a "purse gun" and comparing it to the various "polymer frame" .380's. All of them are "softer shooting" than the direct blowback pistols. They are a sweet choice for a micro .380.

Hello Mick, I realize that this video is 3 years old, but as of now, I have an opportunity to buy a used version of this exact model. Do you mind tell me, how much was that good deal you got when you purchased this gun? Were you aware that Kimber doesn't transfer the Limited Lifetime Warranty to the second hand owner?
No problem. I paid $379. Today, the Kimber Mirco Carry has a value of $625.57 new and $533.25 used with a trade-in value of abut $350 according to TrueGunValue.com. Yes, most manufacturers do not honor warranties beyond the first owner although many will try to work with you on repairs.

I have the Cadet size Urban Carry G3 holster (their smallest). Great concept, but to be honest, I haven't used it for more than a year. Even though it's their smallest holster, I found it to be just too uncomfortable when sitting and difficult to draw from a sitting position. The same goes for my pocket holsters, which I've used for years. So mostly I carry in conventional OWB and IWB holsters worn at 4:00 or in a cross-draw position. Thanks for the question.

What would you compare it to as far as the amount of strength required to pull the slide back…? Would you say it’s difficult…? You make it look easy… haha Great video.
Without the hammer back, I'd say just slightly heavier than my Ruger LCP. With the hammer back, very light. Thanks for watching and thanks for the complement.

I bought the stainless steel model last year and the one issue I have with it is I can't trust it. The bullet wouldn't slide into battery sometimes and then sometimes it wouldn't feed. I chalked it up to needing to be broken in but after a thousand plus rounds it still sometimes happens. The trigger is great with the short reset but if you can't rely on it there will always be worry. I have a walther ppq 9 and a springfield xde 45 and they have been flawless right out of the box.
Thanks for the comment. I can relate to the bullet problems you mention. Although I've had no problems with either my 380 or 9mm Kimber Micros, I did have a similar problem with my Kimber Custom 1911. Given what I paid for it, I was really unhappy. It was a friend of mine in law enforcement who suggested a Wilson Combat magazine and that did indeed totally solved the problem. On the other hand, I also had a similar problem with my Walther PPK 380 early on. It was my primary carry weapon at the time and without reliability, as you say, what's the point. In that case I had to experiment with different ammo until I found something that never failed. For me and my particular PPK I found either Hornady Critical Defense or Federal Personal Defense HST rounds were best. I've stuck with Hornady rounds when i was carrying the PPK, because it's never failed and they're easier to find in my location. Hope this helps. Also, excellent choice on the Walther PPQ. An truly outstanding firearm. If you haven't already, you might enjoy my review of the PPQ at th-cam.com/video/nKc_2gv5OFM/w-d-xo.html Best Wishes, Mick Mac
Do you think the slide is like the Sig P238, that is easy to pull? I’m looking to buy this for my wife and some of the guns out there are difficult for her to pull the slide.
I have both and from what I can tell they are about equal on pull with the hammer back or down. Of course the slide is easier on both if the hammer is back. My wife and daughter like both of these guns, but prefer the Kimber - mainly for its looks I think. Hope this helped. Thanks for watching and thanks for the question.

Depends on the pocket, of course. The Kimber Micro Carry isn't "Vest Pocket" size, but yes, typically it would fit into the front pocket of most blue jeans, for example. However, I wouldn't recommend it without a holster. It's less safe to carry without a holster (especially cocked & locked), it'll be more difficult to draw and it's more likely to "print" without a holster. An inexpensive, soft, lightweight pocket holster (like Sticky size SM-3) would solve all those problems -- and it's more comfortable overall. It's the way I pocket carry my Kimber 380. Works well.

Kimber America has been headquartered in Troy, Alabama since 2018. The history of Kimber is an interesting one that started back in 1979 in the small town of Clackamas, Oregon. 1989 financial struggles led to the sale of the company, bankruptcy and the sale of Kimber assets. In the mid 1990’s, a Kimber employee (Greg Warne) along with a financial backer (Les Edelman) were able to regain some of the original Kimber tooling and began Kimber America. Eventually Edelman would force Warne out and gain control of Kimber. As Edelman grew the company and its reputation, it was moved from Oregon to New York. However, Kimber was back in the public eye in 2004 when a federal grand jury indicted the Kimber CFO of embezzling $10 million from the company. Later, Kimber Arms would be forced to move from its New York and New Jersey locations due to political opposition and relocate its manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in Troy, Alabama which is where the are today.

In the mid 1990’s, a Kimber employee (Greg Warne) along with a financial backer (Les Edelman) were able to regain some of the original Kimber tooling and began Kimber America. Eventually Edelman would force Warne out and gain control of Kimber. As Edelman grew the company and its reputation, it was moved from Oregon to New York. However, Kimber was back in the public eye in 2004 when a federal grand jury indicted the Kimber CFO of embezzling $10 million from the company. Later, Kimber Arms would be forced to move from its New York and New Jersey locations due to political opposition and relocate its manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in Troy, Alabama which is where the are today.

I hope this Micro .380 does not have strong recoil at all.
I guess that would be a matter of opinion. I think it's reasonable.
Lighter than a Ruger LCP, more than a SIG P232. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe. If you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on TH-cam.

Great review man. I am concerned about your hands jiggling that way: have you checked your health as of lately? Hypertension perhaps?
