REMEMBER: As a premium personal defense
firearm, SOLO is designed to operate on
minimal lubrication. This prevents fouling from
lint and other contaminants and assures most
reliable function.The key to lubrication is
moderation. Not enough oil and a firearm may
not function properly and have undue wear. Too
much oil and there is a risk of attracting dirt and
debris to the bearing surfaces causing
premature wear and potential functioning
problems. All metal parts even stainless steel
should be lightly lubricated because RUST IS
NEGLECT!
For quick protection, wipe down
your firearm with an oil or silicone cloth after
handling.
SPECIAL NOTE: The frame of a Solo firearm is
aluminum. Take special care to read all
directions of cleaning solvents to ensure they
are safe to use on anodized aluminum.
4. For long-term storage or in a particularly
damp or salty area, a quality rust preventative
should be used (even on the aluminum).
Kimber recommends Shooters Choice Rust
Prevent or equivalent.
