Another good day on the shooting range. Took the SOLO out for round two. Another flawless performance with the recommended ammo. Just for grins I started out with some Georgia Arms 115 gr FMJ. Now remember, Kimber is very clear about the SOLO not being made for this type of ammo. Recommended is the premium 124/147gr JHP. So, I thought what the heck, and sure enough, first magazine had a FTE/FTF on the third round. I immediately switched to the old leftover Federal Hi Shock, 115 gr JHP. Had 10 rounds left and on the final round (after one mag of 5 worked fine), the slide didn’t lock back. Then I used up the rest of some Winchester 115 gr JHP, white box, 20 rounds, and all shot fine and slide locked on last rounds. Then I shot a couple other guns (I’ll write about later), and before leaving I ran 25 rounds of Remington Golden Saber 124 gr JHP through it, and everything worked great. Real pleased with the gun. Oh, and carried it in the same holster while out and about and this time the magazine didn’t release inadvertently. I’ll post more later, but just wanted to say, the SOLO is continuing to function perfectly when running the recommended ammo. I’m going to order some Remington 124 gr FMJ ~$13.95/50, and see how it does. More range report later today, I got Azaleas to plant….
