For those of you with absolutely reliable Kimber Solos, consider yourselves fortunate and I'm certainly glad for you. I certainly hear a good share of tales claiming the opposite--at the range, at the gun counter, etc. I've never owned one so I'm not entitled to a vote.

But.....for those looking for a pocket 9mm you can carry ready for business but not cocked and locked, I have found the striker fired Kahr CM9 to fill the bill wonderfully. It's well worthy of a look if you are looking. Well made but much less spendy than the Solo.
