Pretty crazy price... and I believe they have a couple variations at or around that price.

What are you waiting for? That's a great price. Love the OD grips too.

One of the top .380 out there right now. Almost bought one, but ended up with a Kel-Tec P32 instead because of the deal.

They have a couple different versions in 380 or 9mm...

I got an email from them earlier.

9mm 2-tone

9mm black

380 black w/ OD G10 grips

Tough to say no to that offer. Anybody hearing anything particularly bad about these pistols?

The only thing I would question is are you comfortable with a 1911 style gun? Having to carry it cocked and locked?

I've only ever heard good. I have the Sig versions of these. The 238 and 938 and they're fantastic shooters. From what I've heard the Sig, SA and Kimber Micro models are all virtually identical and are top quality.

My FIL has one (Mustang size in Kimber, 9mm) The only knock he has on his was the trigger. It was pretty bad. Bad break and was really heavy, around 7lbs if I remember right.

I took his apart and worked on the spring, seat and hammer. Got it down to around 4-4.5lbs.
It was a bitch to get back together but it was a huge improvement.

I have a two tone 938. I really like it. But $370 for a Springfield... I hope they don’t run out while I sleep on it.

I've been debating one but what's interesting is that the online review sites (truth about guns, etc) rave over them but user forums and retailer product reviews slam them for jams, misfeeds, etc.

Those that sent it back to Springfield say the warranty work fixed the problem but I'm just not sure I want to risk going through all of that.

Wife has a P238 and while this 911 is a damn good price... I'll probably pass. But wanted to share that deal.

I had a Kimber Micro 9 as well. Put an aftermarket trigger in it. I posted about it on here. Ended up selling it when I got a matching Sig P938 Equinox to go with my P238 Equinox.

I had forgotten about that trigger issue when I posted my reply above. The Micro has an unordinarily strong trigger break. Mine was 7+lbs and the upgrade got it to around 4.2 if I recall correctly.
