Kimber's Micro is a scaled-down 1911-pattern pistol chambered in .380 ACP, which means it carries and operates like a 1911 in miniature: single action, thumb safety, and a crisp short trigger press rather than the long stroke of a typical pocket pistol. That familiar manual of arms is the whole appeal.

The Sapphire is the dressed-up version, with a distinctive finish, night sights and a 2.75-inch barrel. In .380 with an all-metal frame, felt recoil is quite manageable for the size. A refined choice for deep concealment where a striker-fired micro-nine feels like too much gun.
