Range Report on my Kimber Solo:
I took my Solo to the range today for the first time in over a year. The only issues I've had up to this point are due to me not assembling the Gun right when I first got it (gotta catch a tiny spring with the slide stop) and with the 8 round mags.
I took 3 6 round mags and started with the recommended premium hollow points.... No problems.
Next I fed it 124 grain hollow point, but not so premium training ammo. Again, no misfeeds.
I then loaded all 3 mags with 115 winchester white box and it ran through just fine.
I turned it up a notch and tried to make it fail... I loaded crappy steel ammo, and 85 grain frangible ammo and it passed all of my tests with flying colors.
I noticed that both the mag and slide spring are not near as tight as when I first bought it. (2012) It is very tiny and the tolerances are super tight. It seems to have broken in just fine over time.
As far as I'm concerned It's good to go and staying in my carry rotation.
