I still want a SS Raptor.

I had a Sig 380 for pocket carry, but I passed it on to my son. I looked at the Sig 938, but the Kimber Micro 9, was on the shelf next to it and it looked narrower. I held both and liked the Kimber better. As Kimber is "Made in America" with the profits staying here, I am not to worried about what the "haters" think. Plus, I got the military/LE discount. Now to pick my cajones up off my ankles and get something from the kitchen to eat...

Not sure what or where the Kimber hating comes from. I have owned 4 different Kimber hand guns over the past 25 years and all were fine weapons, well built and gave faithful service. The two that I sold went for nearly what I paid new for them. One other I gifted to my son who loves it. I know some have had minor feed or extraction problems such as empty brass burns on the forehead but it appears that customer service is responsive and Kimber stands behind their products without the abusive crap at least one of the near custom made owners lays out on his buyers. Good purchase in my view Major. Shoot it in good health. It is a great little carry piece. Thanks for the post. Dennis

Nice! I got a 938 for pocket (Nad blaster) a while back because it was the only mini with hammer available. I like the looks of your mini, did it come with an extended mag so your pinky has a home? Can't wait for a range report.

DON'T step on those cajones!! That won't feel good at all.
Maybe an banana hammock would do the trick...

Thanks. It only came with one magazine and a zippered carrying case. Extra mags are $25; $27 for the 7 rounders with the extension.

Kimber makes a fine weapon. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The Kimber Brotherhood lives!!
