#Solo

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves reviews Kimber’s new single stack, striker fired Evo SP handgun. This is, of course, a welcome diversion from Kimber’s typical 1911 fare, but not the first time they’ve done it. Kimber made the Solo for several years prior to the Evo, later discontinuing the Solo. The Solo was not an excellent gun, and the Evo is the heir apparent – but does the Evo succeed where the Solo failed? More importantly, how does it stack up against the Glock 43 or S&W M&P Shield?

A British company called Vorpal Arms manufactures a very interesting looking muzzle brake called SOLO. It is sort of a combination of conical flash hider and a multi-chamber muzzle brake. The SOLO also has external threads, which allow mounting an outer jacket/blast diverter, which covers the muzzle brake to reduce the flash and possibly decrease the report, too. Of course, it comes at a cost of reduced recoil mitigation capability due to less space for the escaping gasses.

This may not come as a surprise to many. Kimber ushered in the Micro 9 in 2016 to growing popularity, and in 2017 they will discontinue the Solo.

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.
