Description
The Kimber Micro 9 Shadow Ghost RTC 9mm 3.15-inch Bundle is a compact single-action 9mm built for deep concealment and everyday reliability. This bundle ships with two Tac-Mags and an UM Tactical holster, giving you a ready-to-carry setup right out of the box. Chambered in 9mm, it uses a 3.15-inch match-grade barrel and a KimPro II gray aluminum frame to keep weight low and durability high.

Key Features
- Match-grade stainless steel barrel (3.15-inch) — This gives you consistent accuracy from a subcompact platform. The barrel is button-rifled and hand-fitted, which tightens groups at defensive distances.
- KimPro II gray aluminum frame — The frame is lightweight (15.6 oz unloaded) and corrosion-resistant. That matters when you carry daily in sweat or rain; the finish won’t flake or rust easily.
- Black serrated stainless slide — The serrations are deep and sharp enough to grip even with wet hands. The black finish contrasts with the gray frame for a shadowy, low-profile look.
- Fiber optic front sight — Picks up ambient light fast for quick front-sight focus. In low light, the fiber glows enough to get on target without needing tritium.
- G10 grips (black/gray) — These grip panels are slim but textured, so the gun stays planted in your hand during recoil. G10 won’t swell or degrade from solvents or moisture.
Who It’s For
This bundle is for the shooter who wants a slim, single-action 9mm for concealed carry and doesn’t want to piece together a holster and extra mags separately. It fits experienced carriers who prefer a 1911-style trigger in a smaller package. It also works for shooters who want a backup gun that’s easy to slide into a pocket or an ankle rig.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Single-action trigger breaks clean at around 5.5 lbs with short reset — makes accurate follow-up shots easier than most striker-fired subcompacts.
- Pro: Bundle includes two Tac-Mags (flush-fit and extended) plus an UM Tactical holster — saves you roughly $60-80 compared to buying separately.
- Con: Magazine capacity is 7+1, which is standard for a single-stack micro 9mm, but some competitors offer 10-round options in similar-sized frames.
- Con: No accessory rail on the frame — you can’t mount a light or laser without an aftermarket grip adapter.

FAQ
What is the barrel length of the Kimber Micro 9 Shadow Ghost RTC?
The barrel is 3.15 inches, match-grade stainless steel. That length balances concealability with enough sight radius for accurate shooting at typical self-defense distances (3-15 yards).
Does this bundle come with a holster?
Yes, the RTC (Ready to Carry) bundle includes an UM Tactical IWB holster. It’s a basic Kydex-style holster that works for strong-side or appendix carry. You can upgrade later, but it’s serviceable for immediate use.
What magazines are included?
Two Tac-Mags: one flush-fit 7-round magazine and one extended 7-round magazine with a pinky extension. Both are steel with a black finish and work reliably with standard 9mm loads.
Is the Kimber Micro 9 safe to carry with one in the chamber?
Yes. It has a manual thumb safety and a firing pin block. With the safety engaged, the trigger is blocked and the firing pin can’t move forward unless the trigger is pulled. Follow standard 1911-style carry: holster with safety on, draw, and disengage safety as you present.
