Kimber Solo 9mm
Kimber’s Solo Carry is a new sub-compact 9mm pistol. It is a single action striker-fired design. The pistols biggest selling point is that its ergonomics and style are inspired by the 1911. It really does look like a mini-1911.
At the moment there are two models out. The Solo Carry (a two-tone finish) and Solo Carry Stainless both have the same price and specifications.

Ahh the Solo Carry Kimber. I recommended this to a friend for a Concealed Carry, he bought it and I took him to the range for training. Well, there is a problem with the magazine causing it to jam with every squeeze. I was quite embarrassed and regretful for the money he spent and lack of quality he received. I am battle fatigued with the "excellent and highly regarded" Kimber. Frankly, it is my opinion and for what that is worth, the gun is highly over rated. Any firearm company that prides itself claiming to be a superior firearm (at a high end price) should produce consistency in dependability. I was highly discouraged by the lack of performance that this weapon demonstrated. I will remain loyal to the Barettas and H&K's of this world Good luck Kimber, I truly wish you well.
I own the solo an love her
