NO cycling , loading, jamming or any other problems in my Kimber Solo. Between the firearm and this ammo , accuracy is very good.
Also worked flawlessly in my Sig P229, and Beretta PX 4 Storm Sub-Compact. -

Got a new Kimber solo. Test fired 50 rounds plus , without a single fail of any type ! I am not an expert shooter but this ammo with this gun made me feel like one. I am trying the 147 grain next !
