I will keep you posted.  My every day carry is a Kimber CDP II Ultra with XS Big Dot night sights and CT Master Series Laser Grips.  The only problems I have ever had were my own fault due to limp single hand shooting.  If I do my part one handed or two it is reliable and accurate.  My preferred carry loads are Corbon DPX.  I am using the Hornady Critical Defense 115 grain loads because they were the best ai could find on the dealers shelf when I bought the Solo.  I will most likely switch to DPX 9mm for the Solo in the future if it proves to feed well.  I will use the Solo when I need smaller CC piece instead of my j-frame and also as a back up gun instead of my j-frame.  My j-frame is a 357 but I carry 38 +P Corbon DPX in it.

Did any body establish what the issue is with the Solo to make it so ammo sensitive ?

If I recall, it was designed that way!

“designed to function optimally using premium hollow-point self-defense factory ammunition with bullet weights of 124 or 147 grains.”

Just thinking in print here, but could you work around that ?
If it is an issue with feeding other rounds would different mag spring tensions matter ?
Or perhaps a change to the feed ramp angle ?
Since SJPrice had no problems with the 115 grain rounds perhaps it's a matter of heavier recoiling loads shortening the life of the gun ?

Kinda like buying a new truck, and ten miles down the road finding a note on the sun visor that says the right combination of dashboard controls will cause the vehicle to blow up.  :-\

Hmmm, I find warning labels like that on items I own all the time.  Some of them costing tens of thousands of dollars.  I guess I do not see the concern.  ???

True, my truck has some restrictive information on how NOT to use the vehicle.  But, if someone buys a Solo and the person doesn't have access to the information as pertains to ammo sensitivity, they may assume that the firearm is designed to shoot anything on the market which, according to design, it is not!
