| addicted to trailing-throttle oversteer |
...I will MARRY the thing. We finally got one in and boy, does this thing have a sweetheart of a trigger. I've already got someone lined up for it; shame, 'cause I really could see myself buying this one...if only I wasn't drowning in future bills for my AR builds.  For a first effort, Kimber seems like they did one hell of a job. | ||

Not a kimber fan, but a local shop got a K65 revolver not long ago. I looked it over, decided it was worth a try, went home and thought about it, and decided to get it. I went back and it had already sold. I'll find another. | |||

I can't get this new offering from Kimber out of my head and your post definitely doesn't help!  I have yet to actually see one around these parts. My LGS was only sent 3 of them and they were all spoken for. If they eventually come out with an exposed hammer version with a 3" barrel I will own one no matter what.Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.

I was looking at them hard before I bought my J-frame but decided to take the more reasonable option and got the 442. They sure do look nice. ________________________ | |||

Yeah, that and the new Colt coming out both look good. I hope they do well, my favorite defensive revolver series, S&W Nightguard, was discontinued. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

It's a very nice revolver, the one I handled at the LGS had an annoying habit of not "resetting" on one of the chambers was cycled, resulting in a bind. Release of the trigger and resumed pull would rotate past. Checked the star, didn't see anything unusual... maybe i'm more accustomed to the double action cadence of Colt/SW/DW. Very nicely made and would like to see another example before passing judgement. Feels real good in the hand. | |||

Being a fan of snub revolvers, it's on my interest list. I like the fact that Grant Cunningham had a hand in helping design the gun. However, given Kimber's somewhat inconsistent quality I think I'll wait until it's been out in the wild a bit longer. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

I handled both a polished one and an in polished at Bass Pro, awesome feel. I think they wanted like 869 for the polished and maybe 40 bucks less for the unpolished. From what I gathered online, that's about the average price. I mwy wait for the price to go down outside Bass Pro, but it sure did feel good in the paw! ___________________________ "I Get It Now" Beth Greene | |||

I just picked one up at a really good price and I am hoping to shoot it tomorrow. The first one I tried had an absolutely amazing trigger but they wouldn't budge on price. The one I picked up has a very good trigger, and was $170 cheaper than first. This is the first Kimber I had a desire to own. _________________________ "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last” - Winston Churchil | |||

Short stroking a revolver will do that. | |||

I bought the DCR model this afternoon. The trigger was too sweet to pass up. | |||

They had some at GreenTop in Richmond, Virginia, which I was able to examine and dry fire a few times. People can hate Kimber all they want, however in my opinion the K6S revolver is going to sell very well. It has a very nice trigger !!! Also not featherweight but a nice weight for being a .357 magnum. God Bless "Always legally conceal carry. At the right place and time, one person can make a positive difference." | |||

I Would be interested in a range report on these. I have a Ruger LCRx in 38 special and while it carries well, is painful to shoot. I like the looks and the internal hammer on the Kimber. | |||

Will post a range report next week, I'm planning on a range trip Tue or Wed. I really didn't intent to buy it, but it felt great in my hand, like a P226 or Beretta 84. And I had every intention of thinning the safe out.... | |||

I own almost every S&W J-frame revolvers because I'm addicted to them.... saw this K6S at shot show this year and they are VERY nice. Probably going to be my next j-frame purchase because they seem like great guns | |||

Well understood, however, my point is, one chamber indexed on or before was different than the others. In my opinion, the star wasn't cut correctly or, at least consistently with the others. Otherwise, a very nice revolver.

The first two I shot were great. Here is my post from January of 2016:
This year, at the SHOT Show I fired a third K6s and it was just as good as the pre-productions samples I had handled before. Here I what I posted this January:
All three of the pieces that I have fired are quite accurate. I had no trouble dinging the gongs out at the 25 year line with the little revolvers. Yes, I too love the Smith and Wesson J-frames, especially the Centennial model that this Kimber closely resembles. I own more than my fair share  One day I will add a Kimber to the family. Probably when the Tritium sight version becomes availble ------------------------------------------------------------------ NRA Benefactor . . . Certified Instructor . . .
