Timeline cheat sheet is great, I believe you can link the times in the description as well if that'll make things easier.
These longer format, full reviews are kick ass. I'm pretty damned sure you're the official best new sales rep for Kimber. You beat the crap outta that thing and it kept ticking.
Why are people so critical of the 1911 grip safety; it makes the weapon supremely safe, and does not interfere at all with function. I personally like it.
@BoopSnoot

There's a risk in pocket carry of knocking it off, and then you are left with a single action trigger. Granted it should still be in a holster and is rated at 7lbs. Alternatively, no safety means one less thing to forget about in a panic situation and a 7lb long double-action trigger like on a Kahr is safe without the safety.

@@BoopSnoot he was talking about the grip safety not the thumb safety. Basically, with a poor grip like what sometimes happens in a panic situation means they don't always disengage. Quite a few people have them pinned and older guns won't have them at all. They're really not needed imo.

I like a grip safety. Hmm. I have several 1911's and several 1911 clones without grip safeties. This is a total copy of the Sig Sauer P938, and owning both I prefer the Sig. I own two other Kimber's and consider them to be a good quality semi custom pistol maker. 1 thing about the micro 9 I experienced was a dislike for 115 gr ammo until a break in period. After 200 to 300 rounds it will eat anything.

Well thank you Sir. You just confirmed why Kimber did not include a flush mag with the Micro 9 I bought two days ago. You also have saved me money in that I will only buy one flush mag and the rest extended. Yes - bought it for pocket carry. Great video.
Thanks for the video. Just bought a 2019 Micro9 SHOT special and was a little nervous about ammo selection and durability from what people have told me but this video just wiped it all away. Most torture mine will get is pocket lint and occassional dog hair. Great video

I agree, I love the stainless and wood grip on mine. I have put probably 7-800 rounds through mine and not had any issues since the very first magazine. Definitely don't understand the Kimber hate, big fan of this gun
I've got a stainless Kimber Micro 9 with a factory muzzle brake. Super accurate and I LOVE this firearm. Is my carry gun now. Reminds me very much of my Kimber Custom .45 that I've carried for years. It IS accurate considering barrel length. The most important factor in comfortable grip is me switching to the Kimber 8 Rd mag with pinkie grip. Big improvement if your hands are large.
Just bought the gun then watched your video. I’m impressed with this review!!! Can’t wait to fire it off!!! Definitely subscribing!!!

Watched this video after purchasing one. You confirmed my carry decision.
Used to own a Sig P938 SAS, that was until the Kimber Micro 9 CSE (Cabela's Special Edition) came out last Thanksgiving. Got rid of the P938. The Micro 9 is an incredibly wonderful little carry piece. As your incredibly torturous test proved: It is Reliable. Also quite accurate and I've shot at least 9 different brands of ammo as well as HP's of various types and polymer tipped ammo; zero failures with over 700 rounds through mine. Smaller hands, don't have that slide issue you did either. Great video, thanks for doing what I could never do to a fine piece of equipment.
Lol...outstanding video! I have the Raptor custom shop and zero issues to report. Cycles many different ammo types. Glad I don't have to throw my weapon or jam with dirt to see what happens...you proved it for me. TY!

When he started putting dirt on it, I fell off my chair.
That very gun (with the C.T. grips) is my EDC gun. I think it's fantastic and I was pleased to see it perform so well in your testing. When I was buying it, some tchotch walked up and said, "Oh, you know Kimbers. They're really picky about ammo. Really picky! Their quality has gone down in recent years." Blah blah blah. Some of the same crap in the comments to this video. I don't care what someone thinks they know because their friend behind the counter at the gunshop gave his "expert" opinion to them. I own this gun and I love it. It's never FTF or FTE no matter what I've fed it. The trigger is great. I shoot it well with the laser off and lights-out with the laser on. It's a stout piece and it carries like a dream. Great review. Hurt my heart to see you beating up my favorite carry gun like that, but the strong finish was worth it! Subbed!

Very impressed with the reliability of this gun. Despite all the things thrown at it, it worked like a charm.
I've learned this gun does not like flat nose and hollow point ammo. The bullets like to also nose dive into the feed ramp and cause it to fail to cycle. Not sure if its a mag or feed ramp issue.

I love torture tests but its a Kimber, treat her like she your soul mate and she will never let you down, BRO. My butthole would be turning inside out if I managed to get my EDC that dirty!

I bought a .380 Micro a few months before the Micro 9 came out and I love it. The thing I didn't like about the gun were the sights were straight iron no dot and for the price of the gun it should've come standard. I've been carrying it as my back up pistol. I've purchased several of the 7 round extended Mags because the 6 round flat Mag is a waste of metal because of the pinky issue. It's been a rugged and consistent little piece. So until I can find something better I'll be keeping the .380 Micro. This fella put on a good test and it makes me even more confident in my little Kimber .380 Micro.

Have you have any failure to feed or cycle issues? My round like to nose dive into the bottom of the feed ramp and jam up the gun.
That was the craziest gun review video I've ever seen. Never saw a gun tested by throwing it at a target. That's a first but it was really fun to watch. I was looking for a review specifically on the Kimber Micro 9 because I'm thinking about buying one and need to know more about their reliability. That gun was very reliable for you except for when you put your thumb on the slide. Not a gun problem. You just have big hands. Gun doesn't fit your hand. I think it would fit mine. It still fired perfectly even after all the dirt and torture you put it through. I'm sold.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it helped.
The only issue I have with mine is at times (with one magazine) some ammo won't slide up the feed ramp. I'm going to buy a Dremel and polish it, which should take care of that issue. While this isn't a complaint about the gun, the 7 round magazines are a pain in the ass to load, because the spring pressure on them is so stout. Comparing the magazine springs to my Springfield Armory 1911-A1 and Beretta M9, it's MUCH stiffer!
Being a Kimber lover/collector my I had to cringe during the whole video. You are a tougher man than I. All that aside, thanks for putting this little gun through your torture test. I purchased one and picked it up a couple days ago. Now, thankfully, I can bypass the torture test when I take it to the range. I hope Kimber is replacing that gun for you. I'm sure I'll have nightmares now but I'll awake knowing that my little gun can take it. Thanks!
Good stuff little gun impressed me.
I don't really see the purpose of torture test with guns being thrown at steel plates and dirt being poured into the action, but I have to say this little micro 9 did impressively well. I'm not a real kimber fan, but I have come across some that are just as reliable as anything else, contrary to what the bashers say

This is the first gun video I have ever seen where someone poured dirt into the gun. Impressive that it continued to fire. I have seen a Glock fired under water and also buried in the mud, dug up, wiped off and fired.

I just bought a Kimber Micro9 that's exactly like the one in the video. And NO, I'm not planning on throwing it any time soon. :)
Love mine!! I think personally that it's the best looking 1911 in its class. Nice vid brother !
When new ,break the gun down and then clean the shipping/storage lube off and use a high quality oil before breaking in a Kimber Micro 9 with 50-100 rounds of 124 grain . Then break it down ,clean and lube and you will have the best and most reliable small conceal gun there is (they also work great even if you don't do this but if you want the best break in ;do this) and It will work as good as it looks for many generations. This advice came from Kimber's factory.
I learned to fire pistols on the 1911 in the Army and have been looking at this one for a tuck gun. I love the tests you put it through and how well it shows the capabilities of this weapon. May need to pick one up Monday at the PX
Awesome information Sold me . Time line was great too. Buying one and can't wait to shoot it !
Great video - very high quality with great editing. I'm just about sold on this model, so I really appreciated the full review. Of course like you, some of the "abuse" was hard to watch on such a nice gun!
It's the simple things in life that bring me joy. I am 52 yrs old, fat, out of shape with bad knees and I grunt when I bend down to pick something up,...just like you do. lol
I ordered one yesterday. So I am glad it passed your test. I won't be throwing sand into mine. So I should be good. I have wanted one for a while. My home defense gun is a 1911. My EDC is a XDs 45 or a Ruger lcp. My hope is to supplant the LCP. Will see, being able to just pocket a gun on the way out the door to the quickie mart has a value all its own.
Throes gun, hits metal target. "That hurts my soul" 😃 love the quality of your videos. Should be on cable tv
Since I own this gun, I was holding my breath so tight. Lol I love my Kimber micro 9 and fullsize/ fun size Kimber

To chamber the first round I have the slide locked back, put in the magazine and release the slide lock and the first round chambers as it should. I’ve experienced nose dive on a full magazine + 1 in the chamber with the 7 round mag. So I just run it with 7 rounds or 6 + 1 chambered.
Watching the video caused my Micro9 to tremble in my pocket. I had to assure it I wouldn't treat it that way. I love mine, but good to know it will stand more than I will put it through. Thank you.

The battery will not go dead if you leave it in the on position. According to Crimson Trace you can leave the battery in the on position indefinitely and it will not drain the battery at all the only thing that will drain the battery is while you're holding the grip in the laser is actually Shining. While the laser is shining it's good for 40 hours
Your testing made my stomach hurt! Kimber makes good firearms. Thanks.

The 1911 grip safety is an ingenious design; it makes the weapon eminently safe and doesn't inhibit function at all. The only reason other manufacturers do not use it is because it is more expensive to produce as are hammers, and safeties in general; hammerless handguns without safeties are less expensive to manufacture which means higher margins for manufactures.
Hello Andrew and a Happy New Years wish to you! Very good comprehensive review of the Kimber Micro 9. As an owner I was cringing at all the abuse you put that piece through. But appreciate it just the same! I’ve owned mine for just over a year now, have ran approximately 500 rounds through, from the very first out of the box rounds, I’ve had a fantastic shot group, very similar to yours, with at least one through the bullseye with every magazine I run. I’ve used only new name brand ammo, FMJ, hollow point plus Hornady Critical Defense, since day one with just two failure to fire, but easily corrected with a bump. Both happened during a time I was not cleaning after each usage, just to see how far that could go before effecting performance, sort of my own test. That surprisingly took five outings, with about 100 rounds, with just 2 FTF! That I consider not too bad! Oh it’s not like the Glock I have, that has been totally flawless in operation of running over 600 rounds over the course of 3 years. But that pistol is just too big an ungainly for a CC! But my Kimber, in the nice little black leather pocket/inside the waistband holster, is the perfect CC weapon. Pretty to.
I have a micro .380 raptor. Awesome little gun! It's been reliable so far and very fun to shoot. The raptor has an ambi safety and night sights.
Just bought a Kimber Micro 9 for my wife and I to carry. Can't wait to take 'em to the range. You mentioned San Juan Armory in the video. Have a URL to share for that outfit?

Love this review! One of the most thorough I have seen!
These guns are really hit-or-miss. Half of them work great, and half of them have all kinds of issues. I was really disappointed because the one I had I always had a failure to feed issues. The gun kept jamming constantly. I was really disappointed because it was the most expensive firearm that I ever purchased. If you can get one that is reliable they are amazing for concealed carrying. Nice and light. I had to get rid of mine though because it just wasn't reliable enough. If you want a small Kimber I would recommend the Kimber Evo. Much more consistent
First time viewer, loved this vid! Never seen anyone torture test a pistol, it was great. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your review. Extensive review...great job and thanks again.
Today is 2022. The Micro now costs $750-$800 The trigger is long and three stage. (If you were expecting a 1911 type of trigger) The single stack design hurts some, A double stack would have been sweet. Kimber demands you fire it 400 rounds before they will accept it back for work. VS other brands that are cheaper and work out of the box.
Awesome vid...I've had 2 local ranges complain that their Micro 9 rentals both had to go back to the shop on multiple occasions after heavy HEAVY use by renters...one even had a cracked frame. But this video kinda gives me more faith in the Micro 9 now. I'm desperately looking to get a subcompact 1911 of some kind...so far, the Sig 938 has given me the most encouragement, despite the massive cost. What are your thoughts on compact 45s? The Springfield Range Officer Compact seems manageable (though my rental kept failing to feed every 10th shot, but...it was a rental). I'd like to get a Colt Defender, but nobody has one for rental to test.
Kimber did a superb job with the Micro 9 and you did Great with the demonstrations as well as the photography & imagery. However, with traditional 1911’s, it’s a Grip safety & not blackstrap safety.
