On the Ninth Day of Christmas… 9mm Kimber Solo-ing

A new Kimber Solo has been on the ‘want’ list for months. An ultra-compact 9mm, it offers a variety of features not commonly found on pocket-sized guns:

• It’s all steel and has a nice weight to it
• Single action, striker-fired design so there is a constant trigger pull
• Ambidextrous frame mounted safety
• Nice 3-dot sights
• 6+1 capacity

The standout feature is the feel. The frame is completely smoothed and melted and it feels great in the grip. It’s kind of like holding a stick of butter except you don’t have to wash you hands afterword.
