Kimber micro 9 first range trip

[ky wonder]

we have just got in from the farm range this afternoon, with my wife's new birthday present, and I am happy to report that the pistol was flawless through 100 rds. of 115gr silver bear, I got a good deal on several cases of this stuff late in 2015 and have a couple of cases left. so this was its diet today.

the gun was shot on steel so I can not give a precise group measurement, but it was shooting to point of aim, off hand standing at both 7 and 15 yards today.That was as far as she stretched it out today

she's grinning ear to ear so I know she's happy with it

conditions here was low 30s with a brisk wind, and spitting snow so we did not want to get out in the open field into the worst of the wind, to shoot it at longer ranges.

sights were right on, as was the laser at these ranges

One of the current gun mags has a picture of a 2 tone on the cover and it looks nice! Would love to have one and will have to wait for a used version.

Thanks for the vid and the report, always good to hear from folks in the real world, as opposed to gun writers. Looks like it was jumping pretty good from recoil there, but if she's comfortable with it that's half the battle.

Wondering how these will hold up compared to the SIG 938, as they seemed to have some problems. (Might want to put some loctite on the grip screws, I've read they're prone to walkin' out.)

yes it is a snappy little gun @ less than a pound empty the115gr at 1180fps ammo would get a good rise with her at first,

the video was her first mag out of the new gun she was controlling it better at the end of the session

it was comfortable for her, she stated she liked it better than her G42 and she has been shooting it for over a year
