Picked up my Kimber Solo CDP yesterday. Here is how it stacks up along side of my other two favorites, the Berretta Compact PX4 Storm and the S&W 637 stubby.
So far I have had zero ammunition issues with the Solo. I broke it in with 20 Federal Premiium 124 gran hydra-shock jhp. Since then I have put 100 Fiocchi 115 grain and 50 Federal range and target thru it. Once again no ammunition issues.
The only problem I've encountered so far is human caused. Because the Solo is so small my thumb naturally sits on top of the magazine release button which caused an occasional issue between shots. I'm in the process of working that one out over the next several weeks.
I already know that the Solo is going to replace my stubbie as my favorite closed carry. It holds seven shots vs five for the stubbie. It is thinner and much easier to conceal comfortably. The gun feels good and is very well balanced. It fits very well in an Uncle Mike's size three pocket holster and rides well and is quick to draw out of normal jacket or pants pocket.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Thumbs up to Kimber.
