Reading the range reports, there is a lot more at issue than the mag release.They are having a problem with the mag release and suspending shipping until the get the new parts
Yes. Next year.should i get a new kimber solo 9mm?
I really hope the price in that article is MSRP, and even then that's crazy9mmepiphany said they were having problems with the mag release. This is a new one to me. I am getting the same story on the slide release. However when talking to Kimber they say all is well, they are running as usual and just cannot keep up to demand. I am going to wait for the Solo CDP model http://www.kimber1911pistols.com/blog/kimber-solo-cdp/
Couldn't have said it better myself. I never have wanted to be one of the first to buy ANY gun.I own several kimber 1911's. They are excellent guns. That being said, why buy an unproven design? I never understood why people are in such a hurry to buy the latest and greatest before the bugs are even worked out. There are plenty of proven options out there in compact 9's. No need to mess with a new product that wasn't really needed.
In my opinion you should let others be the guinea pigs. Buying a new design from a company with suspect customer service is just begging for trouble.
