Description
The Kimber Micro 9 Stainless Rosewood RTC is Kimber’s Ready to Carry bundle: a Micro 9 Stainless with rosewood grips, a UM Tactical Qualifier ambidextrous holster and two 7-round Micro 9 magazines. It is a single-action 9mm micro-compact that weighs 15.6 ounces and measures 6.1 inches long.
Kimber Micro 9 Stainless Rosewood RTC Overview
Kimber product number 3300255 pairs a satin silver stainless steel slide and a 3.15 inch stainless barrel with an aluminum frame. The pistol has white dot sights, a solid aluminum trigger with a factory pull of about 7 pounds, a full-length guide rod and an 11.5 pound recoil spring. It is 4.07 inches tall and 1.08 inches wide at the frame. The checkered rosewood panels carry the Kimber logo and give the gun a classic 1911-inspired look in a far smaller package.
What Ready to Carry Means
Kimber packages the pistol with a UM Tactical Qualifier holster that converts between inside-the-waistband and outside-the-waistband. Removing the clip and installing the Qualifier strap switches it from IWB to OWB. Two magazines are included, so you have a spare from day one. Most buyers would need to purchase all of these separately with a standard Micro 9.
Single-Action Controls
The Micro 9 works like a scaled-down 1911: it is carried cocked and locked, with the hammer back and the thumb safety engaged. You must sweep the safety down as you draw, every time. Owners coming from striker-fired pistols should practice that draw stroke extensively with an unloaded gun before carrying. The trigger is crisp and short compared with most micro 9mm pistols, which helps accuracy.
Capacity and Size
At 7+1, capacity trails newer micro-compacts that hold 10 to 13 rounds. In exchange, the Micro 9 is slim and light. An aluminum frame keeps weight down but makes recoil snappier than a steel gun, and aluminum frames generally have a shorter service life than steel under heavy round counts.
Ammunition and Break-In
Kimber recommends quality factory ammunition. Run several hundred rounds of standard-pressure 115 or 124 grain ball, then test your chosen hollow point for reliable feeding before carrying it. Use +P loads only as Kimber approves for this model, and note that small single-action pistols can be sensitive to grip and ammunition during break-in.
Finish and Care
The satin silver stainless slide resists corrosion and wears well with daily carry, while rosewood grips should be kept away from harsh solvents. Clean and lightly lubricate the slide rails after range trips. Holster wear will show over time on the aluminum frame.
Micro 9 Versus Larger Kimbers
Compared with Kimber’s full-size 1911 pistols, the Micro 9 gives up grip length, sight radius and capacity in exchange for a gun that disappears under a T-shirt. Compared with the KDS9c, it is thinner and lighter but holds far fewer rounds. Recoil from a 15.6 ounce 9mm is noticeably sharper than from a steel-frame pistol, so plan regular practice. Spare Micro 9 magazines are widely available, including extended versions that add a finger to the grip for range use.
State Laws and Ownership
Kimber offers Micro 9 variants for some restrictive states, but not every bundle is approved everywhere. California, Massachusetts and other roster states control which models dealers may sell, so confirm this exact product number can be transferred where you live. Concealed carry requires a permit or license in most states.
