When that someone is Kimber, you kind of have to. This is a company that lives and breaths 1911s, and when you look hard at this little tiny &#8220;Solo Carry 9mm&#8221; you can see that the grip angle is in fact a direct descendant of the 1911 feel. Only two fingers are going to fit around this little guy, but only two fit around the Colt Mustang 380, so there is precedent.<\/p>\n<p>The details in the video leave out some very important points. This is a striker fired gun with an aluminum frame, stainless steel slide and one constant single action trigger pull. Issues like reset and and recoil will have to wait for a full review of the gun, but starting with the fact that it is a Kimber gives you a good idea that it is probably a winner. They don&#8217;t do a lot wrong.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I like about the gun is that it has an ambidextrous safety and magazine release in the same places that you find them on a 1911. If dropping this safety is as natural as it is on a 1911, all those 1911 fanatics out there will have themselves a new pocket pistol.<\/p>\n<p>Run the numbers on this gun and it could be that Kimber is right that the Solo is in a class by itself. It is 17oz. empty, 3.9\u201d tall, 5.5\u201d wide, 1.2\u201d thick (including the safeties) and holds 6 + 1 of 9mm. If it really also feels like a 1911 and the controls work like a 1911 I don&#8217;t know that there will be a gun on the market that will compare for firepower and usability. The MSRP is $725, and best in class is relative to price of course. But compared to the other high end pocket pistols out there I don&#8217;t think it will have an equal. I look forward to shooting this great looking little gun from Kimber.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/kimber.jpg\" width=\"647\/\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kimber America https:\/\/www.kimberamerica.com When someone tells you that a 17oz. 9mm feels like a 1911, generally you aren&#8217;t going to believe them.
