Kimber Micro .380 W Crimson Trace

Thinking about getting one of these for my wife as her CCW.

Anyone have any experiance with it?

Does your wife want that pistol?

[ChromDome35]

She hasn't shot one, but it fits her hand well.  She has small hands and has had several surgeries on her right wrist which makes it a bit weak.

She's interested in it, but asked me to do some research on it before we bought it.

My buddy had one, NIB. Nothing but problems from the get go. Failure to go in to battery, FTF, FTE. With the name & high price, he thought he had a high quality pistol. It was a lemmon. Sent it to Kimber, Kimber said they resolved the issues. That was not the case. The box store where he had purchased it refunded his money.
Should also be noted that the manual recommends self defense rounds. He fed it with various brands that he could find. The results were the same.

Glock 42.  Could not be happier with ours.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've read a few similar comments online.  I think we'll pass on the Kimber.

The Glock 42 is definitely one I want her to try.

I haven't put any hollow points through ours (cannot decide what I want to try) but I have shot wwb, Remington green box, and even some perfecta and other than when my wife was limp wristing the gun getting used to it, haven't had an issue one with it.  It is a fun gun on the range, could shoot it all day.  It is almost as much fun to shoot as my tacticool 22   Would like more capacity, but I suppose that can be overcome with just buying more mags.

So she ended up going with a Sig P238.   She liked the way it felt in her hand the best.

It shot very nice at the range.

Sig are a quality gun. It should serve her well.
