[QUOTE="DFarcher, post: 2285626, member: 29504"] I own many "higher end guns". The one characteristic they all share EXCEPT the Solo is reliability. Many of the Kimber Solos delivered will not function reliably even with the recommended ammo in the hands of VERY experienced shooters. I have owned three, also work in a gun store where we have sold many and the percentage that have to be returned to Kimber is unacceptable. I own A SIG P398, similar in size and weight to the Solo. I have fired 5-6 hundred rounds through it without a single failure to function. That is what I expect, if the Solo would deliver that kind of reliability even with the recommended ammo I would not have a complaint. Here is the best judge of "performance".... near 100% certainty that firearm will go bang more than once. The Solo does not offer that. Its pretty to look at feels great too. But you would be better off with a cheap plastic Keltec PF9, they are much more likely to function properly than any given Kimber Solo. [/QUOTE]
