Enjoy the revolver.

The K6 is smaller; it's J-frame size, just with six rounds instead of five.

My Kimber is painful to fire. Some snubbies are, but that K6 particularly so, and I don't know why.

The K6 suffers from overall lightweight - as does the tiny (and Scandium) j-frames from S&W...ask me how I know (360 still scares me).

This L-Comp is a great size, yet has some beef/heft and, of course, a compensator that mixes in a nice recoil offset that makes shooting the .357 something to not complain about. I want one and black does look menacing.

That's a beautiful revolver! Have you shot it yet? What are your thoughts on the grips?

How is the muzzle blast?

Yes I shot it about an hour after picking it up (as posted in the OP). Grip was fine — I can certainly see the black rubber hogue grip that comes with the gun would be more comfortable.

It’s certainly there, but not terrible. The ported barrel really helps.

I love revolvers. My favorites ar S&W Model 27's and 19's.

How does it shoot with the wood boot grips vs the rubber full size?

Not sure yet. I only shot it with the wood grips. Next range trip I might try both.

I put 100 rounds through it.

Rubber grips add a lot of comfort over wooden grips with .357.
