Hey guys. I'm a couple days away from taking the Micro Carry Sapphire 380 ACP to the range for the first time. I was wondering what kind of AFFORDABLE target ammo the Kimber Micro prefers. The local hunting shop was low for the holidays and only had Sig Sauer Elite Performance Ammunition 100 gr. Not that it's bad ammo, I just was hoping to get something more affordable online. Thanks in advance!
I just bought 500 rounds from his site. I also picked up 500 rounds for my S&W Shield since it was 10% off and the shipping was free. Thanks for the advice!
My wife's Kimber Micro likes the American Eagle. It doesn't like the Blazer with the coating on the shells. It gets gooey...use lots of oil..grease the slide.
Someone had posted that Walmart carried ZQ1 for $10.99 per 50 that worked good in his Micro.
Checked my Walmart and they didn't have it though.
I have just ordered some American Eagle in 95 grn and think it was around $15 per 50.
I know there is cheaper ammo out there than this but don't know how well it will work in the Micro.
Federal Lawman did not work very well in our Micro.
Just checked the invoice from Midway USA and the American Eagle in .380 was on closeout at $16.31 per 50 and $14.29 per 50 in 9mm.
I'm not affiliated with Freedom Munitions in any way but after shooting 10's of thousands of rounds of the stuff without a problem I can highly recommend it.
I'm still working on finding my micro's favorite, of the six or so I've tried she likes the Fiocchi best. The Sig ran really well too though and seemed to be almost as clean.
... mind your grip, these little pistols don't have much recoil but what there is powers everything.
... have fun
The only ammo that ever gave me a problem in my Kimber was Wolf steel ammo. I only bought it because it was the only ammo in stock that day. Never again.
I am certainly no expert on this matter. But for the few firearms that I have owned over the years, I have yet to own one that the owners manual was ok with using steel casings. That may just be my limited experience talking.
I recently had words with a UPS driver that refused to take my order off the truck, she told me if I wanted it to come out and get it or forget it. One thing lead to another and I fired off a nasty letter to UPS about it. I received a sincere apology from UPS, I was assured that UPS's policy is to bring the order to the door and that the driver who was a temporary hired for the holiday season had been terminated.
Yes, I unloaded and brought the ammo into the house myself, I wasn't about to let it get lost in their system.
