kimber solo

[freeclimber57]

I recently bought the kimber solo and just shot about 40 rounds through it today. loved the gun, trigger is great for a d.a.o. groups pretty well at 15 yrds with self protection loads and my hand loads. Only prob is they are all 10 to 15 inches low. As far as I can tell there are no windage adjustments. Anyone had this prob or experience with the solo? How did you fix it? Or am I going to havr to get used to using Kentucky windage with it?!

Thanks for input

Just got rid of a Solo. Shot to point of aim, just not reliable. Im glad you got a good one. I think they are hit and miss.

ETA-I must eat my words on this one.

I picked it back up because I liked the size/power and design too much to give up on it. Well, after switching ammo it runs like a champ! I ran 150 rounds of DAG 124gr NATO FMJ and 50 rounds of Federal 124gr HST through it today without a hitch. Mine did not like Winchester FMJ. Don't know why. Runs just fine on NATO 9mm and HST.

Also, shot right where it should. No problems there.

i just sold one as well. i could never get it to do anything but jam.

Have a couple other people shoot it and see if it does the same for them. Dare it say, it could be technique.

We need more Solo owners to chime in. I viewed this gun as a premium 9mm carry piece.

how long is the take up in the trigger until it fires ? i was considering a solo..

Ok, yeah I got a question about that and you already know what it is!!

Yea, I'm gonna give it another chance........

I'm thinking I'll send it back to Kimber and see if they can fix it. Just like the package too well.

I'm a fickle little B-itch and I know it (well, with some guns).

Well, LOL and welcome to the classifieds, B---

I own a Solo CDP and haven't had any issues with it. It's a little snappy in the hand but that's to be expected in such a small package. Other than that it's been flawless for me.

I have a Solo and I had problems with shooting on target for the first few mags, then after I got comfortable with the trigger pull and such, it shot to point of aim. Nice pistol and I plan to keep mine around.

Again I love my solo. Right now having trouble getting and 8 rd mag!

I mean really? Who would own a Kimber?

I hate to admit it, but I'll be picking it back up later today......

Still, my only Kimber. I'm still cool, right?

First of all, if you are hitting 10 to 15 inches low at 15 yards you have an elevation issue, not a windage issue. Are the sights adjustable? I'm not familiar with the Solo, but most sub-compacts have fixed sights. Are they 3 dot, dot-the-i or some other type sights? A little more information about your sights would be helpful.

Just a slight storage fee.

One of the coolest, Mr.BeerShirt. One of the coolest.

Hey now. I earned that shirt this week.

Also, see above. The Solo ran like the wind with different ammo. For some reason mine doesn't like Winchester FMJ.
