New Micro 9 Hits Hard and Carries Easy

Kimber’s New Micro 9 is a 1911-style defensive pistol that is easy to carry and delivers terminal performance.

When it comes to defensive pistols, one size definitely does not fit all. Size, shape, weight and functionality are factors that prompt a customer to purchase one gun versus another. Understandably, when a person hands over hard-earned money to a dealer, they’re hoping to get a handgun that feels just right based on perceived needs.

My preference for defensive carry is 9mm. Pistols chambered in 9mm tend to be smaller, lighter, more concealable and easier to shoot at speed than those chambered in .40 S&W or .45 ACP. Even from a terminal ballistics standpoint, today’s 9mm bullet performance is on par with the .40 S&W and .45 ACP — just ask the FBI, who recently returned to the 9mm after depending on the .40 S&W for more than 20 years.
