After lots of research and reviews I chose this, the Kimber Micro 380, as my first gun. I've had no problems relating to the use of it. In fact, I've been getting good use of it since my purchase at the range. The fit and feel in my hand is perfect. Kimber is reputable and makes very good quality products. I am so happy with my purchase. Thanks!

I purchased this Kimber because I wanted a small gun that I could carry in my pocket when carrying something larger would not work. The Kimber is a very attractive gun in two-tone and carries enough stopping power to get me out of trouble when I need it. Kimber makes high quality firearms, and the fit and finish reflect it. I also purchased the Micro 9 from Buds two weeks later!

Picked up yesterday, cleaned thoroughly prior to heading to gun range today. Very happy with it. Light weight, accurate, easy to shoot, and very concealable. Wanted one that looked a little different from the other Kimber 380. Very nice handgun.

Excellent small gun with plenty of power. Performed perfectly. Is a little difficult to strip down and operate slide stop and such due to its compact size but an excellent solid gun.

I was waffling between this Kimber Micro 380 and the Sig P238 for pocket carry. Of course, due to the current shortages, I couldn't find either via any LGS within 100 miles. After watching way too many youtube videos about both pistols, I ordered the Kimber Micro from Buds since they had it in stock for a good price and I'm so glad I did.
Most importantly, this was my first purchase with Buds, and I'll definitely be ordering again. Buds shipped out the Kimber Micro super-quick, and it was delivered to my local FFL in less than 1 week after my order was placed. That's impressive; especially, in this day and age. 2 thumbs up.
The pistol arrived in perfect condition, everything was in the original packaging/bags, and no flaws/damage whatsoever. I've only handled/shot the Sig P238, but the Kimber Micro IMHO seems more polished. The quality, fit and finish are impressive. Everything locks up tight. Compared to the Sig, the Kimber Micro slide top is chamfered, the beavertail is larger, and the extended 7-rd mag fits and looks so much better than Sig's. The rosewood grips are ever better looking in person and the pistol feels great in the hand. Grip angle is your typical 1911 style and with the extended mag allows a full grip/purchase for my hands. The night sights are terrific. The outlines are painted white and give off a great glow with the tritium inserts in complete darkness. The slide serrations are deep and grippy enough. The trigger is on the heavier side at 7 pounds, but feels pretty good and has an audible/tactile reset. The safety has an authoritative 'click' and feel, but doesn't feel as stiff as the Sig's. For such a small pistol, the slide stop lever and mag release buttons are the perfect size and easily manipulated. Just wish Kimber put some stippling or something on the front strap of the grip since it is rather slick.
Disassembly/assembly was a breeze. Just remember to put that ejector down before you put that slide assembly completely back on.
I put a Streamlight TLR-6 on the Kimber Micro just for the light and it fits perfectly. Also, I bought a bunch of extra Kimber 7-rd mags online for only $24 each. That's half the price of Sig P238 7-rd mags which sell for $49.99 online.
Mind you, I still haven't run the Kimber Micro through a break-in period for reliability, but these are just my initial observations.

First off I had this Micro 380 2 days after ordering from Bud’s. Quick turnaround.
This is my third Kimber 1911 style. For preference I also have the Micro 9.
First time shooting I was having almost every other shell misfeed. This happened with every magazine. Comes with one 7-round magazine. Out of 50 shells shot, the last two magazines I only loaded 5 shells to see if this would help. It jammed once with the 5 loaded shells. I’m not sure if it’s the tight tolerances by Kimber or possibly an extractor issue. I will spend more time with it to see. Also, I was using 124 grain FMJ.
For reference the micro 9 did the same, not as often, when I first bought it.
Love kimber quality. This is a great pocket carry. Hopefully the misfeed issues will subside.

I purchased the Kimber Micro 380 in Two Tone with night sites and it is awesome! I have put a couple boxes of rounds through it and it is accurate, spot on, barley any recoil and works like a charm. I recommend the Kimber Micro in 380ACP for anyone who wants to carry. It is light as a butterfly when it is in your pocket yet it stings worse than any bee for your defense. Remember .380 is a 9mm short, it is a serious round for up close. The truth is this is a beautiful firearem. The Black, Silver and Rosewood are the Kimber trinity of color, really a nice looker.Precision made, excellent trigger and I love the manual thumb saftey, just like the legendary 1911 it can cock and lock. Match this with a thumbreak micro Desantis holster and the hammer is blocked till you need it. This to me is a very safe strategy and the way to go for carry. Build Quality in this micro Kimber I would give a 10 out of 10 of the highest rating, it is excellent. Thanks Bud`s for the quick service, I ordered and in just a couple days I was at my FFL to pick it up. Bud`s also offers a warranty you can choose to purchase. All a great experience.Thank you!

I have been looking to purchase a Kimber for a few months and when I decided to purchase one I couldn’t find any in the ‘big gun’ stores. A buddy of mine said he has ordered from Buds in the past. Low and behold they had 10 in stock. The whole process was fast and easy. Ordered Wednesday after work and arrived to the FFL on Monday, highly recommend them and I’ll use them in the future. Now to the Kimber .380, excellent, nice solid gun, tucks away perfectly for concealed carrie whether on person or in you vehicle.

Nice little pistol. Had one misfeed with first round of XTP hollow points from the mag. After I got the first round chambered there were no more jams. Fit and finish are very nice. .380 is very pleasant to shoot. No complaints on this pistol. Very happy with this purchase.

Maybe I got a lemon, but this consistently jams whether I'm at the range or simply racking it repeatedly to empty a magazine. I brought it to a gunsmith who worked on it, said he fixed it by changing the extractor (it's not fixed). He said the 1911 design really wasn't made to shrink down to the size of a .380.
I'm going back to my Ruger LCP, which although has a crappy trigger, at least is reliable.

Ordered gun early in the mornings received word that theshipping process was started the same day. Shipping was much faster than I expected. Gun arrived and was new and exactly as described. Price was very competitive but Buds reviews made me choose them.
