  1. It took 2 of us to do it, my husband and I but we did it. Just too hard for one person to disassemble when the gun is brand new. Thank you for the video.

  2. I just bought a Kimber Solo CDP and really appreciate you sharing how to disassemble the Solo. You video is precise and easy to follow.
