Kimber's Micro is a scaled-down 1911 chambered in .380 ACP, and it appeals to shooters who want the familiar single-action trigger and thumb safety of a 1911 in a genuinely pocketable size. The all-metal construction gives it a solid feel and helps tame the recoil that plagues polymer .380s.

The Bel Air trim adds Kimber's distinctive aesthetic treatment to a 2.75-inch barrel package with night sights, a meaningful upgrade for a gun likely to be needed in poor light. At under two pounds it disappears in a pocket holster while remaining pleasant enough to shoot that you will actually practice with it.
