Description
Kimber has always been a company known for their 1911 style handguns, but that changed in 2017 with the release of the first Kimber K6s revolver. The goal was to make a Colt Detective Special for the 21st century and they without a doubt succeeded in that endeavor. All Kimber K6s revolvers are chambered for .357 Magnum and there for will accepted .38 Special and .38 Special +P cartridges as well—but what really set’s the Kimber K6s apart from its contemporaries like the Ruger SP101 or the many .357 S&W J Frames available is the 6 round cylinder. The K6s’ cylinder is actually smaller than its competitors but holds one more cartridge giving you more capacity in a smaller package.
The newest Kimber K6s features a double action/single action configuration that takes the Kimber’s famously short and smooth trigger pull to the next level. The double action trigger pull is still between 9.5-10 lbs. but the K6s now features and exposed hammer for single action shooting. The single action trigger pull is a crisp 3.25-4.25 lbs. for precise shooting. The Kimber K6s Combat revolver with 4" barrel is an excellent duty and home defense firearm – but can prove itself invaluable for campers, hikers, and hunters in while trekking through bear country. The additional weight (~2 oz.), enhanced sight radius (6.1"), and six cartridge cylinder of the K6s 3" will easily handle the hottest and heaviest bear defense loads.
