A Gun For All Reasons
After doing a TON of research, including a lengthy thread here on the FL Forums, I selected a Micro 9 as an upgrade to my .380 PPKS. I'd wanted the same features with more power and got most of them except for DA/SA.
I love the feel of this pistol. I'm a 1911 shooter from way back with medium size hands. A full size 1911 fits my hand perfectly while any double stack 9mm is too big. The Kimber fits in nicely.
Big Suggestion: Buy the 7-rd extended magazines. You get one more round than the standard AND you get all fingers on the grip. I have no trouble fitting the pistol in my pocket with the extended mag.
I think the rack-on-safe feature is goofy and just don't use it. Take off safe, load, put on safe.
Sights and trigger are crisp. This thing shoots where I aim it.
One problem I've had is having the pistol go on safe while shooting with a Weaver grip. My standard grip puts the knuckle of my thumb close enough to the safety that recoil can force safety on.
I love how light this thing is. (I have the stainless steel model.) The recoil doesn't bother me at all.
This is easy to carry. I live in Florida and dressing around a pistol, especially in work clothes without a jacket, can be troublesome. This fits in slacks pockets (though with significant print on thin slacks). I have a fabric pocket holster for it and a Fobus paddle holster which are my usual carry modes. But I found that this fits nicely in a very old Bianchi X15 size small shoulder holster I got really cheaply on eBay. But I have a MacDaniel II IWB holster on order from Andrews Custom Leather (it will be my 5th MacDaniel from Andrews).
I love the power of a 9mm in such a compact package. I'll always have a .45 if I can reasonably dress around it but having something I can just slip in a pocket on a trip to the grocery is priceless.
