2/28/2024 0 Comments Kimber vs sig sauer 9mmWith the Kimber logo on one side and Micro 9 on the other, both of these are classy and clean. But by and large, most of the Micro 9 models only have rear serrations and those serrations grip really well.Įven with the seemingly tight spring, it’s very easy to grab the slide and rack it. The KHX model has a hexagonal pattern, your ESV has front cut serrations. It feels great in your hand, but once you grab the slide, the spring tension is really, really strong on the Kimber Micro 9 and the serrations on the rear are great.Īs I mentioned earlier there are tons of models that change the slide. Moving up to the slide, it’s kind of where this gun to me, starts to really shine. There is a little bit of grip texture on the backstrap, the beaver tail looks great, functions great, allows you to establish a good master grip.Īll-in-all, I really like the frame on the Micro 9 top notch on the frame design. This particular Micro 9 was made in the Yonkers, New York factory. We’ll get to the controls on the frame in a little bit. So being that this is the stainless model, it is a very nice clean frame. The biggest thing they change are the grips and the slide.Įven the slide, it’s just pretty much milling or coating that’s different.

There’s a ton of Kimber Micro 9 platforms, the KHX, the ESV, the Eclipse, the Nightfall.Īll of these models all pretty much have the same frame, they just might have different coatings or colors. There are other models, you can get the two tone or the tan and more. This particular model is stainless steel. The frame on the Kimber Micro 9 is actually a really nice 45 degree angle. So when your hand is around the grip frame it feels great and natural. I think Kimber did a really good job on the design of this and the fact that it does sit flush. The other nice part is, the magainze is flush with the frame once you put it in the gun. The key part of the ergonomics of this gun is the magazine base which allows you to rest your pinky on it. Now, to me, the gun without the black magazine base pinky extension does not feel good. I believe it’s supposed to come with a second one with a flat base to get a more compact gun. But I only got one, but it is the magazine with the black plastic base on it. If you know, please feel free to leave a comment. I’m not sure if that’s a mistake or what. The one mag that I have, and I’ve tried to figure out if I was supposed to get two mags, but mine definitely only came with one in the box. It is a single stack mag, like most 1911s. Magazine on the gun is a nine round magazine, so it’s relatively small.

If you’re not a real old school gun person, you may not like the wood appearance at all. You can change these out, of course, I’m not sure why you would, this thing looks great.īut if you wanted some black grips to kind of match the black accents on this gun, that might put it together a little better. They do have the Kimber logo on them and they feel really good. These look like wood, but I’m pretty sure they’re plastic. The grips on this gun are small, paneled grips. Slide functions great and there’s just so many good things to say about the ergonomics. Overall in general, the ergonomics were great. When I put my index finger down the side of the gun like I would when not ready to shoot it felt natural, granted my finger rested on the slide, but it really doesn’t matter, because as long as you’re not pulling the trigger, slide’s not gonna move. It really boils down to holding this gun in your hand, that’s really where it shines, I believe. Not only does the stainless with the wood grip panels look great on this gun it feels extremely natural in your hand. I have smaller hands and I typically carry a Glock 19, but I am getting ready to start carrying a SIG P320 XCompact to give that a try.īut this Micro 9 is really nice in the hand. Once I picked up this Kimber and had it in my hand, I thought man it’s almost perfect for me. The ergonomics of the Kimber Micro 9 are really good which is probably why I now own one. 9 Final Thoughts on the Kimber Micro 9 Ergonomicsįirst, I’m talking about the ergonomics.
