There is no way that gun was fired right out of the box without jamming. I tried that, and stove-piped every other round. They have either fired it before or added some lubricant on the slide. I am not trying to put this gun down because I own one and would trust my life with it in a second. However, I have never seen one fire without jamming out of the box. Just looking for some honesty here!

@TheEranderson85

The gun we tested functioned as seen. It was new, not fired or oiled before. We do show our failure to feeds, stove pipes and malfunctions. Check out our ISSC MK22 rifle review, were we show several malfunctions. Honesty is what your looking for, Honesty is what you found. If we have bad reviews, we don't post them. We won't show bad reviews because we have to make a living in this industry, but the reviews you see are as they happened. Sincerely Patrick Hayden

I'm still not clear about the safety/decocker. Can it be used as a safety while the gun is cocked? Or, if engaged, does the user then have to rack the slide again? Sorry for such a dimwit question, but I am familiar only with Glock and the Beretta FS 9mm.

I've seen guns get blamed for things like stove pipes and other functional maladays. The funny thing is, when another shooter tries the same gun, it works perfectly. Maybe the 1st shooter is just a little too limp wristed for the Solo.

@danksme007 most handun have a certain amount of rounds that fit in the magazine (6 for the solo) plus one round in the chamber making 7 rounds possible. i personall have a sig and i can shoot 16 rounds out of a 15 round mag because i can fit one into the chamber before loading the mag.

[danksme007]

Not sure how he fired seven rounds out of a 6 round magazine???

[fuzzypaws17]

It's a great gun but you really need to be careful how u put it back together after cleaning or it will lock open after every shot if you don't engage the spring correctly...

It's not impossible, some guns are fine out of the box and other are not. I knew a person that bought a brand new car on Tuesday and the Engine died on Friday. Things happen. I have a S&W M&P full size that now has just over 3000 rounds shoot with all different ammo and not one single malfunction so far. I too am waiting to get my hands on one.

@texaz2006 its a real nice crisp break my only issue is the Amby mag release. I can just ignore the safty but the mag release pops the mag out when you fire. They need a way to remove one side of the mag release
