David Sir,
The Kimber Micro 9 is a well-regarded, aesthetically pleasing 1911-style subcompact pistol praised for its ergonomics, accuracy, and concealability. However, some users report reliability issues like cycling problems and failure to return to battery, possibly needing a break-in. Some models may also lack features like factory night sights at this price point.
David, have you tried looking into the SIG Sauer P938? Has similar feel and accuracy, slightly heavier, with a good trigger or the Colt Defender? Known for reliability and accuracy, with a 3-inch barrel and 8-round capacity, and easy handling.
Lots of other options out there so take your time shopping for the right one. Best of luck Bud 🙏🏻

I have a Kimber that I love, but they are not the cheapest option. I guess it depends on what you want.
