I love my Sig 238-380. But it blew up with a hot load. catastrophic failure. Sig wants way to much to fix it. $300 for a new barrel and new slide. For $150 more i can get a new one. How does everyone feel about the Kimber Micro 380. I just have a bad taste from Sig warranty department. When i get the paper weight back i will look on Ebay for a used barrel and Slide.

Ben, $500 for this Kimber .380 is a deal. kimber's limited warranty is as good as anybodys. Don't think you can blow this 14 oz firearm up. Plus looks a lot better then a Sig with Kimber's rosewood grips.

Ben, glad that you are ok. Don't know how hot a "hot load" you mean but, hot ammunition give many manufacturers pause on warranty work. I think Sig should have handled this differently though. Kimber is good to go all around in quality and Customer Service.

its a good gun and I think you will be pleased with it as to some of the comments below any gun can be Blown up was it a factory load or a reload that caused the Sig to blow up as no one will warranty a gun when you are using reloads (I reload)

I own one. Its a great little pistol. Can't speak of Kimbers warranty/customer service, never had to use it.

Can the safety be engaged with the hammer down?

Daniel, per the manual ( http://www.kimberamerica.com/media/wysiwyg/manual-download/KIMBER_MicroManual_12-16_FINAL.PDF ), the thumb safety cannot be engaged unless the hammer is fully cocked and the slide is fully forward. So a simple answer to your question is no, it cannot.

No it can not on any 1911 based gun including the 1911 micro thumb safety can only be engaged with the hammer back

No, the inherent design of the 1911 pistol does not allow this Daniel.

No it can not on any 1911 based gun including the 1911 micro thumb safety can only be engaged with the hammer back

How does the Kimber Micro 380s slide pull compare to the Colt Mustang lite 380 and the Sig P238?

Hi Daniel, I own both. The Kimbers pull is smoother then both and easier being it has a 8 pound spring while the Sig is 12 pound. I would say its more comparable to the Sig though still.

The Kimber has an 8lb recoil spring and the Sig P238 has an 12lb recoil spring. The Kimber's slide pull should be the much easier.

The same as either gun you referenced.

about the same may be a slight bit easier

are the newer Kimber 1911 Micro TwoTone .380 now coming with at least three dot sights or still black on black?

Allen, these come with the "Three Dot" Sights from Kimber. These are recent manufacture pistols : http://www.kimberamerica.com/micro-two-tone-380acp

Buds service was fantastic as usual. The pistol came in in perfect condition, just as expected from Kimber. I took it to the range and ran a couple hundred rounds through it without any stoppages what so ever. I loved the sights. When most companies downsize a product from a full size to a pocket size model, the sights seem to be an afterthought. Kimber did it right. It is super light, easy to conceal, reliable, shoots where you point it, and it is a 1911. What's not to love. In the day of the plastic block, ( no offence.... I am an old man who still loves wood and metel) this one still has class.

Great little pocket gun...very reminiscent of the Colt Mustang. Trigger feel and pull are awesome...very crisp. Really love the feel of this Kimber, feels good for a popgun and conceals easily. Quality, fit and finish are all TOP NOTCH. Kimber makes a quality USA firearm. Grips that came on my Micro .380 are the fancier logo'd Kimber rosewood and not the pictured plain diamond ones. A+ CS from Buds as always... they got me a great price and the gun shipped lightening fast. Thanks again Buds!
