![]() The company's testing results show that Federal Hydra-Shok JHP (jacketed hollow point) in 124 grain or 147 grain, Remington Golden Saber HPJ (high performance jacket) in 124 grain or 147 grain, or Hornady TAP (tactical application police) HP (hollow point) in 124 grain or 147 grain are the best performers.Īny of the recommended bullets are top performers. While just about any high-quality premium ammo will run the gun well, Kimber recommends ammo from three manufacturers. The slide release and ambidextrous safety are in the same spot and easily manipulated. If you're a 1911 shooter, the Solo's controls will be very familiar to you. Even with the new premium ammo produced these days, I'd much rather launch a 9mm round when the need arises. Kahr Arms sued Colt over the offset barrel lug design, so the Pony is no longer produced. Kimber's Solo Carry reminds me a lot of the Colt Pony in its size and general look. KimPro II and a number of other new high-tech finishes protect you from the job of continual maintenance against rust and from having gun oil all over your clothing. Often we wear them next to our body where the salts from perspiration rub off on the gun's finish causing rust. Salt is a major concern for a concealed gun. KimPro II is a premium coating that's self-lubricating and extremely resistant to the elements and salt. The aluminum frame is coated with Kimber's KimPro II treatment. Kimber's new Solo even looks as good as it shoots. After all, it's not a sniper rifle, but the accuracy of this little gun is really uncanny. OK, maybe that's overkill in barrel specifications for a gun with a 2.67-inch barrel. It is 2.67 inches long, has a 1/10 twist and 6 lands. The Solo Carry's barrel is also manufactured from stainless steel. The gun is only 5.5 inches long and 3.9 inches in height, which adds to the concealability. The slide is manufactured from stainless steel and the frame from aluminum. It slides into a pocket holster in your jacket or pants pocket or in an ankle holster and you'd be hard pressed to see any printing, as the gun is only 1.2 inches wide. It fits into the palm of your hand and weighs only 17 ounces, making it very easily concealed. Kimber has built this gun from the ground up and has six new patents pending on the engineering.
