About the Gun

The micro-compact Kimber Solo is a diversion from the manufacturer's 1911 style pistols. Like its bigger 1911 siblings the Solo sports a machined aluminum frame, a similar grip angle, side panels and magazine release, and an ambidextrous thumb safety. But, that's where the similarities end. The Solo employs a striker style firing system with a Glock-style single-action (SA) trigger. The slide and barrel cut from stainless steel. To aid in concealed carry the gun is given melt-down style rounded and blended edges.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.

Great shooting pistol. If you have large hands like myself it can be a little uncomfortable.
