Kimber Solo Carry Engineer Interview

[MountieFan1948]

I just bought a Solo and it feels great. I'm a dyed in the wool 1911 fan and the Solo feels very familiar. Now, I need to take it to the range.

@NurseBMF Lots of people they've been having problems with that.

They should make this in a brown frame with a stainless slide, it would look even more classic

[supashadow1777]

Why does this pistol need a safety, let alone an ambidextrous one?

[12sick4x4]

@supashadow1777 to make it CA legal...

[Nakanokalronin]

@supashadow1777 Because it has a single action trigger.

It does have a very smooth trigger, tested it in the store. Nice rounded edges. I've fired Kahr PM40, hundreds of rounds, nice trigger also but I think the Solo has a little less distance of trigger travel. Ammo is good to test. The Kahr's seem to have a steep feed ramp, I've found that more rounded JHP ammo works better, like Winchester PDX and especially Hornady. One kind of JHP federal I tried jammed, but it had a very flat wide tip. So just test the ammo you plan to carry, of course.

I am sold!

[HiR0N7]

Is it possible to remove the thumb safety??

[zerofrindz]

Too bad they can't make a workable .45 this size. But it's nice....

[ralphtherogue]

Is it just me or does this guy look like Steve Carell? Nice try at a pocket 9, but I'll stick with my PM9 and it's sweet trigger.

[MUSICALGUNNUT45]

a nice pair of walnut grips would suit it

[FearfullyCreated777]

Since when is a 2.7" barrel considered a selling point? Shouldn't an apology be in order instead?

[ayellerbird]

@FearfullyCreated777 Concealment?

[Noremorse10]

@FearfullyCreated777 It's a sub-compact.

Great looking pistol. I am in the market looking for a ccp and am going to do more research but this pistol is near the top of my short list.
