Who It’s For
This pistol is tailor-made for the southern gentleman who values tradition, reliability, and a touch of class in his everyday carry. Whether you’re a seasoned bird hunter looking for a backup piece or a first-time concealed carrier who appreciates fine craftsmanship, the Micro Stainless Rosewood fits right in. It’s also ideal for shooters with smaller hands who need a slim, manageable .380 that still offers a solid grip.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight and slim; excellent night sights; single-action trigger is smooth; rosewood grips look sharp; extended magazine included; reliable Kimber build quality.
- Cons: Single-action design requires manual safety engagement, which may take practice for new carriers. The 2.75-inch barrel limits velocity compared to larger .380s, so shot placement is key.

FAQ
Is the Kimber Micro Stainless Rosewood suitable for beginners?
Yes, but beginners should practice with the manual safety and single-action trigger. The .380 ACP recoil is mild, and the rosewood grips help with control. Start with range sessions to build muscle memory.
What holsters are compatible with this model?
Most holsters designed for the Kimber Micro series (including the Micro 380 and Micro 9) will fit. Look for leather or Kydex options that accommodate the 2.75-inch barrel and extended magazine. Many southern makers offer custom-fit designs.
Can I use +P ammunition in this pistol?
Per Kimber’s specifications, the Micro Stainless Rosewood is not rated for +P .380 ACP ammunition. Stick with standard-pressure loads for reliable function and to avoid excessive wear.
How do I clean and maintain the rosewood grips?
Wipe them with a dry cloth after each use. Avoid soaking in solvents or oils. Occasionally apply a small amount of wood conditioner to keep the rosewood from drying out in humid southern climates.
