Kimber has optics-ready Micro 9s in the works as well. It was very easy to get a good grip on this gun.
#BEST COMPACT 9MM 2021 SERIES#
I personally favor the Rapide series as I found the grips and serrations both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Kimber boasts an incredible variety of Micro 9s with many color and grip options. This gun does have a small loaded-chamber indicator, but the brass blended in with the gold barrel of my test gun. Though you lose out on capacity, this classic design is intuitive, and the exposed hammer makes it easy to see if it is loaded. 380 ACP for several years and I like the Micro 9 just as much.

Safety: Manual Safety, Loaded Chamber IndicatorĪs a big 1911 fan, I’ve carried a Kimber Micro. Besides an affordable price with great extended-mag capacity, the unique grip angle and stippled finger pads made this gun one of the most comfortable of the group to hold. I’ve spent a lot of time with the Mossberg MC2sc, both personally and at Gunsite Academy where I put it through a few days of strenuous use including drawing from a holster, loading, unloading, and use under pressure. Safety: Trigger safety, manual safety (optional) Sights: Optic-Ready, White 3-Dot sights, TruGlo sight option available What surprised me most is how my favorites changed when I loaded up the magazines and shot each gun.Ĭapacity: 11+1, 14+1 extended, (10+1 available) Each one of us had a different favorite, all for different reasons. I focused on the feel of the gun in my hand, the weight and break of the trigger, and how easy it was to acquire the sights. Each of us picked up one gun at a time, held it, manipulated it and dry-fired it. I enlisted my parents to be extra subjects in the experiment.
The motley crew consisted of a Kimber Micro 9, Mossberg MC2sc, Ruger Max-9, Savage Stance, Shadow Systems CR920 Elite, SIG SAUER 365X, Springfield Hellcat and Taurus GX4 T.O.R.O.Īfter ensuring each gun was unloaded, I laid them all out on a table next to one another. Most of the group were optics-ready, but magazine capacity, sights, style, weight, safeties and size varied. I’ve always contended that “superior” is in the grip of the beholder, so for this review I worked with eight different 9mm semi-automatic concealed carry pistols to get some answers. Some contend there is a superior style of gun, a superior grip angle, a perfect size, etc. They aren’t usually as comfortable to hold or shoot as a full-size gun, but they are much easier to conceal. This brings up another point of contention: What is “fit”? Small concealed carry guns generally aren’t a perfect fit for most consumers, simply because few hands are as small as a micropistol. What fits one person doesn’t necessarily fit another. Every person is different and has varying needs, levels of comfort and abilities.
This is a tricky question - one I’ve always been hesitant to answer. “What 9mm defensive gun do you recommend for me?”
