Default Kimber solo

Got a pocket pistol to day
Kimber solo carry nice compact
9MM recoil with 124 gr ammo
Is brisk but not hurtful.
It shoots very accurately sight S
Are easy to see 3 white dots
No problem hitting cans out to 50'
Off bench. 8 round mag. Sticks
out so you can grip with all fingers.
6 round little finger does nothing
I will carry and shoot it every day
See how I like it after 250 rounds

People seem to either love or hate them.
I'm in the latter category because it's accurate, all metal and fits nicely in a pocket. It is a little heavy but that helps with the recoil.
Mine also has been 100% reliable and has not had any of the issues that plagued the early ones.
Good luck with yours and enjoy it.

My bud and me each purchased one when they came out.

We both love ours. I claim it’s the finest mouse gun ever built. I can shoot it as well as a larger pistol. The trigger is its secret. Fantastic trigger. And the sights.

I was shooting mine once and the left thumb safety broke off. I sent it back to Kimber and they replaced everything on the pistol with the exception of the frame. No charge. New everything.

I hear they have quit producing them.


Pecked out on my iPhone.

I've fired friends Kimber's and they are nice shooting guns.
Too pricey in my mind.
I have read and heard about problem's with the barrels.
Hope you enjoy your Solo.

One of my friends bought one of them at a show. NIB. Couldn't fully load a magazine and get the gun to feed. He did fire it a few times with partially loaded mag and he said it was accurate. Talked to Kimber and they got him to return the gun. Last week they called him and said the gun was not repairable and they had no guns to replace it with. They offered him any Kimber to replace it up to a certain value. I think they had some real problems with the model

The magazines are really stiff
I filled them and will keep them full
And hope they relAx a little
Shot 50rounds no malfunctions
It suprises me how well it
Shoots
