Didn’t you say you picked up a Solo? If so, have you had it long enough to give a report? It looks pretty appealing to me, but I heard early models had some problems.
The “problem” was the same problem I had putting it back together incorrectly after cleaning. The assembly is a cross between a Glock and 1911. So I thought since I have both I thought I knew what I was doing. When I called Kimber to complain I could tell they get the same call probably every day. When you replace the slide stop there is a tiny retention spring that has to be captured in a grove on the slide stop. With my old eyes I didn’t see it until they pointed it out. It’s the only thing that is different than a 1911 and a Glock.
Breaking in the first 200 rounds ZERO fail, after I put it back together incorrectly 90% fail, the next 400 rounds ZERO fail.
If you want the CDP I would buy it differently than I did. Buy the stainless model and add the after market laser grips later.
1. because it’s cheaper
b. The black painted aluminum frame scratches because when you apply pressure to capture the retention spring it leaves a mark.
iii. It’s not as pretty but I think function over form is better.
