The Kimber legacy of offering the finest production firearms available today continues with the Solo®, a new pistol that puts the power of the 9 mm cartridge in a micro-packaged size usually reserved for smaller calibers. What sets the Solo apart is quality, dependability and 1911 ergonomics that ensure comfortable shootability. With a barrel length of just 2.7 inches, Solo pistols are easy to carry and conceal. A manual ambidextrous thumb safety, checkered slide release and ambidextrous magazine release button enable fast and intuitive operation. Solo frames are machined from the finest aluminum and finished in KimPro II, a premium finish that is self-lubricating and extremely resistant to salt and moisture. Slides and barrels are cut from stainless steel.
