Below is some FAQ that Kimber provides with the Solo Carry. You may also download this in PDF format. Thank you for purchasing The Kimber® SOLO™ pistol. Here are some common questions about the Kimber SOLO pistol family. 1. The SOLO looks like a 1911? Is it? SOLO is NOT a 1911 . While the SOLO borrows the great ergonomics, aesthetics, and quality of Kimber 1911 's (grip angle, safety, removable grips, dovetailed sights and general shape) that is where the similarities end! SOLO is a completely new and innovative premium defense pistol. It contains several (patent-pending) mechanisms which allow it to do so much in such a small envelope. 2. How accurate is SOLO and what caliber ammo does it shoot? SOLO is exceptionally accurate. At 25 yards with premium ammunition and a solid rest, group sizes of 3 inches or less can be expected. Kimber recommends 9mm LUGER (9x19) factory-fresh premium defense ammunition. You should find good results with the below mentioned ammo.

What is the recommended break in period? For standard initial break-in, fire 24 rounds of 124 gr or higher, high-quality factory-fresh premium personal defense ammunition. 4. Should I lube it like my other guns? To avoid attracting lint, Solo was designed to require little oil. The instruction manual contains direction on this and other lubrication instructions - but it is important that SOLO NOT be lubricated in or near the firing pin. 5. Any important tips about reassembly? Yes. It is critical that during reassembly the slide stop be installed correctly. Failure to install properly will lead to malfunction.
