Anyone shoot a Kimber Solo?

[muggsy]

A gun is only as safe to carry as the person carrying it. Having said that, the solo pistols have been reported to have had a number of problems. I'm sure that Kimber will eventually work the bugs out of their bug, but until then I would shy away from them.

I have heard and read of this as well. Maybe overblown, but maybe not. But I remember one of the articles was in print in a gun mag.

I think they are sweet looking pistols, but looks aren't much of a factor for me concerning EDC.

I shot one magazine through a Kimber Solo at Impact Guns and I immediately asked for my $50 deposit I put down at a competitor for when the Solo became available.

The gun is beautiful felt great in my hand and jammed every single round I fired.

legal talk: IMO nothing more.. ..

EXACTLY (thanks jocko), they put the same safe handling mantra in their 1911 manual (probably just copied and pasted it to the Solo manual). I can see it with the 1911 platform that has a short, light, true single action trigger, but the Solo's trigger is a different beast.

no doubt we have peole buying guns that should not own a gun. Stupid is as stupid does. Many knock the mag disconnet feature. I personaly dont need it on any gun I own but from a company liability standpoint it is a very7 safe thing on a gun. Smiart people know what to do evne with it on a gun, but dumb people think if they pull thge mag out thegun is safe. without the disconnet, as uwell know it wllgo bang. It si getting more today about litigation than practicality. Do we need a loaded round indicator??? IMO no but some people need to be slapped in the face sometimes to let them know the gun is loaded. again stupid is as stupid does. The thing is also that you just don'tknow that person standing next to you eiter. He cold very easily shoot YOU with his thought to ber unloaded gun. Put allthose safety things on those guns for that stupid fokker, just give me the opportunity to taker off what I don't like.

Most all of the loaded round indicators and magt disconnet freature give no issues either but we seem to not like um. that is shooter choice. same as an external safety. I think they are allgood features, just some that I don't care for. I am sure if you as a gun maker and owner of the company would do all that is ossable to keep lawsuits ou8t of ur business. Just sayin. Do you reall think har wanted to put that LRI on the top of their slides??? I sure don't, ...
