Did it have reliability issues or was there some other problem?


I didn't like the feel of the trigger. Too long a pull and too
'scratchy' as though something was rubbing on sandpaper. I much prefer
the Sig, or, better yet, the Kimber.

I sure wish Kimber made this in a 9mm.

They make a small 9mm, probably as small as it can be to handle the
bigger 9MM.
My neighbor has one. It looks like a .380.


Yeah, that's the 'Solo', but the reviews I've read haven't been too
favorable. Besides, Kimber wants you to shoot only the high priced
stuff in it:

• Federal® Hydra-Shok® JHP
• Remington® Golden Saber™ HPJ
• Hornady TAP® JHP

I think they are just pointing out that the action is tuned for +p
ammo. I am sure it will function fine with the bulk 9mm you see
advertised. A lot of people think 9mm is a marginal self defense round
anyway, particularly in ball, so if that is what you are going for,
using high performance ammo is your best bet.


Maybe, but it seems like some of the reviews complained of failures
with the cheap stuff - which is what I'd use at the range. At home, if
loaded, it would be with the Hornady.
