It can go Solo. 17 oz. is way too heavy for me.

The list grows.  It is a grown up Colt Mustang / Sig P238.

I like the features.  Probably good for a coat pocket, I don't know about a front pocket.

The explosion in carry permits in some parts of the country is driving this market.  I do hope many of these people will help us defend against the grabbers.

I see there are three of them on GunBroker also.  Kimber kept this pretty quiet.

Although the Solo is longer than a R9 it looks like the R9's barrel is longer than the Solo's.

Although the Solo is longer than a R9 it looks like the R9's barrel is longer than the Solo's.

From what I can see about specs:

R9:
- Barrel:2.9"
- Length:5.2"

SOLO:
- Barrel:2.7"
- Length:5.5"

you're correct - the SOLO is both longer - and has a shorter barrel.

The SOLO would interest and tempt me greatly IF I did not have an R9 - but since I do have an R9 I'm 99.999% sure I'll pass on the SOLO. My experience with Kimber has been good but not perfect. To me the SOLO is more compelling than the Kahr (BAD Kahr P380 experience) or any other small 9mm offerings (including the new SIG P290 and Ruger LC9 pistols), but it isn't the same as the R9 being both externally bigger and also heavier.

It might be more comfortable on the range than the R9 but I wouldn't consider it a range gun anymore than I consider the R9 a range gun.
