The Kimber Micro Sapphire NS delivers premium concealed carry performance in a compact 380 ACP platform. This specialized variant combines the reliability of Kimber's proven Micro series with distinctive aesthetic enhancements and night sight capability for low-light situations.
What Makes This Different
The Sapphire NS stands apart from standard micro pistols through its polished bright blue PVD coating and precision-cut scroll engraving with decorative borders. The stainless steel frame provides corrosion resistance while maintaining structural integrity under repeated firing cycles. Night sights enhance target acquisition in reduced visibility conditions compared to standard three-dot configurations.
