Mark 40 and Global Shooter - Been there, done that with my first Micro, different issue, though. I believe I fired at least 1000 rds through my Micro .380, maybe more, trying to break it in, and/or determine if the mags, ammo, or gun was at fault - all before returning it to a Kimber 3x. That was a mighty expensive venture, counting my range time and ammo. Yes, I had some fun along the way, but for what these Micro .380s cost, it seems like they all should function like a Glock right out of the box. But, I knew there were problems with the Micros prior to buying mine. I rolled the dice and lost.
I like my 2nd Micro, but it has not been 100% reliable either. It’s better than the first one that a Kimber graciously replaced. The Micros have the potential to be great carry guns. Kimber should have spent more time working out the bugs in their Micros, rather than messing around with the Evo, in my humble opinion.
