Kimber Micro 9 RTC Bundle 9mm – Superb Ready To Carry Pistol

Description

Buying a carry pistol is rarely the end of the spending, because a gun without a holster is a gun that stays in a drawer. The Kimber Micro 9 RTC Bundle 9mm closes that gap by shipping the pistol, an ambidextrous holster that converts between inside and outside the waistband, and a second magazine as one package.

Fifteen Ounces And A Single Action Trigger

At 15.6 ounces unloaded this is one of the lightest 9mm pistols anyone makes, and at 1.08 inches wide and just over six inches long it genuinely disappears under light clothing. That combination is why the Micro 9 has stayed popular in a category that gets crowded every year.

The single action only trigger is what separates this from the striker fired competition. A Micro 9 breaks like a scaled down 1911 rather than rolling through a long striker pull, and for shooters who came up on 1911s that familiarity is worth a great deal on a small gun where trigger control matters most.

A match grade stainless barrel in a 3.15 inch package is unusual. Most pistols this size use a service barrel because nobody expects precision from a short sight radius, and Kimber fitting a match barrel is the reason these shoot better than their dimensions suggest.

A Holster And Spare Magazine In The Box

The UM Tactical holster included in the bundle is ambidextrous and converts between inside and outside the waistband carry. That covers both the summer and winter carry positions most people end up using, and it removes the usual trial and error of buying two or three holsters to find one that works.

Two magazines ship with the pistol rather than the single magazine that is common at this size. For a carry gun that means one in the pistol and one on the belt from day one, without a separate order and the wait that comes with it.

The black and grey treatment pairs a KimPro II grey aluminum frame with a black serrated stainless slide and black and grey G10 grips. G10 is a laminate that grips firmly when wet without the abrasiveness that shreds a shirt over months of carry.

One thing to understand before choosing a Micro 9 over a striker fired micro compact. This is a single action only pistol with a thumb safety, which means it is carried cocked and locked in the same way a 1911 is, and that demands a holster that covers the trigger guard completely and a consistent habit of sweeping the safety on the draw. Shooters who already carry a 1911 will find it immediately familiar. Shooters coming from a striker fired gun should budget range time to build the safety manipulation into muscle memory before carrying it.

Why Buyers Choose The Kimber Micro 9 RTC Bundle 9mm

Buyers choose the Kimber Micro 9 RTC Bundle 9mm because the package removes the accessory shopping that normally follows a carry gun purchase. Holster and spare magazine included means the pistol is ready to carry the day it clears the counter.

The weight is the reason people stay with the Micro 9. At 15.6 ounces it is light enough that owners actually carry it daily rather than leaving it behind, which is the only measure of a carry gun that really counts.

A single action trigger on a pistol this small is a genuine advantage for a trained shooter. Short, clean and predictable beats a long striker pull when the sight radius is only six inches and small errors get magnified.

Kimber match grade barrels have a long reputation, and putting one in a micro compact gives accuracy that most guns this size cannot match.

Upkeep on the Kimber Micro 9 RTC Bundle 9mm is straightforward, with a simple field strip, common service parts and magazines available directly from Kimber.

Who Should Buy The Kimber Micro 9 RTC Bundle 9mm

This pistol suits the concealed carry permit holder who wants the lightest practical 9mm and prefers a single action trigger, particularly anyone already comfortable carrying a 1911 cocked and locked. The bundle makes it a sensible first carry gun purchase for someone who does not yet own a holster. It is less suited to a shooter who wants high capacity, since seven rounds is modest against micro compacts carrying eleven or more, and a 15.6 ounce 9mm produces sharp recoil that rewards regular practice rather than occasional range trips.
