Micro 9mm
« on: January 28, 2020, 08:45:59 PM »
I have been looking into picking up a micro 9mm for an EDC. I was originally looking at getting a Kimber micro 9 but after reading online there seems to be concerns with the build quality and having some issues. Then i started ready about the Sig p365 and the springfield hellcat. Does anyone have an options on these?

I went and looked at the Hellcat with my dad, it fit his hand, but the trigger wasn't that great. Yes it was brand new and firing a bunch would smooth it out but it wasn't a nice one to me. You can get the OSP version or the iron sight version depends on what you want to spend. The Hellcat supposedly has some build issues but it's brand new and they are still working out the bugs. The 365 has been out for a little bit and I haven't really heard to much bad about them. The Kimber.... I looked at and wasn't a fan of, probably because it didn't fit my hands.

I know it doesn't relate to the above 3 pistols :

I will say the clerk tried selling me the small single stack glock 43 in 9mm and it wasn't bad but again just didn't feel to comfortable in my hands. The 43X wasn't too bad, but if I had to choose a single stack 9, I'd have to go with the Shield. It just felt more at home in my hand I guess you could say. The new texture on the grip is pretty good, so it shouldn't move around while firing.

So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are.  Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

I have the Sig P365 and really like it. I haven't shot 1000's of rounds through it but the few hundred I have it shot really well. The only FTF was my daughter limp wristing it but after she fixed that it was fine.

There was a lot of brew ha ha about the firing pin breaking or pin strike but that seems to have been remedied by Sig now.

It fits my average size hand fine and with the extended mag there is plenty of room for grip.

Nice thing is because it is so popular there are lots of options for holsters.

I have the Crossbreed minituck and you hardly know it is there.

I also have a neoprene ankle holster that it works well in and you can have a spare mag as well. You can wear all day with no real issues.
