Watch the video Kimber Solo Take Down and Disassembly
Thanks for watching. I hope the video was of value to you.
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.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad the video was helpful.
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.
