Kimber Solo mini-review

Recommended Posts

Had the day off today, Thanks Obama!! Hit the back roads and surprisingly found myself in front of Fin Feather and Fur. They had a Kimber Solo in the case and I had been thinking about it so I had them get it out.

Damn did it feel heavy. Not sure why it is way lighter than my XDM 40 sub-compact but it felt heavy. Almost front heavy. Slide sucked, pulling was awkward and almost difficult. Trigger pull was very smooth but a little long for my taste. Thumb safety sucked, I would not want to have to undo that to save my life. Too far up and back, it was a very awkward motion to hit and it wasn't wide enough...you had to hit it dead on.

The one they had was just a 'demo'. 9 month waiting list to get it. I don't think I will be on that list.

My Brothers GF bought one. It is very front heavy though I had no trouble with hitting the safety. it shoots nice but not $800 nice. Long trigger pull for a single action. although her slide was rather nice to pull back once it broke in a little bit.
