[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 2799981, member: 9220"] I traded an OSA member for my nearly new Kimber Solo. -- Hickok45 was a little guarded in his assessment of the Solo; The Truth About Guns was little nicer in there initial test but I guess problems developed later. -- For me, I have only taken the gun to the range 3 times. I have about 250 rounds of different kinds of ammunition thru the handgun. Kimber recommends that you use only 124 or 147 premium hollow point self defense factory ammunition (Hornady TAP; Remington Golden Saber; or Federal Hydra-Shok). I tried all the different ammunition I had available, and a trip to Academy, for some Winchester NATO; Aguila 124 Grain; Hornady XTP; Winchester PDX and Sig Sauer JHP; But the bulk of what I was using was WWB 115 Grain FMJ, what everybody said not to use -- I have had zero malfunctions.
