KIMBER K6s REVOLVER...HEAVY IS GOOD! 

Yesterday I went down to my local shop to buy a 642, was already to say I’ll take it and then picked up the Kimber. Real sights, feels better in the hand and that double action trigger is the best I’ve ever seen, kind of an impulse buy but I think it’s a far superior gun to the 642 but quite a bit heavier and I think it’s worth it bonus for 357 and bonus for six rounds. It’s a more direct comparison to the Ruger SP 101, But the k6s is a hare lighter Six rows versus five rounds and that double action trigger is impossible to beat at the moment

This helped me decide on buying the 2" and I also bought the 4" target

23 ounces is not heavy! A 48 ounce 1911 45 ACP is heavy! That six shot could be the difference! I am sold on this revolver!

excellent video. I have the K6S in stainless with the night sigh. awesome gun

Just picked up my first Kimber K6S (CT) with the CT Laser grips and so far I have been very impressed with the quality and performance of this revolver. I have mainly used S&W 640 Series Stainless 357 revolvers and decided I wanted to try out a Kimber, so I traded one of my S&W 640's and some cash for the K6S and I am very happy with the trade. I use a Horseshide pocket holster and I wear shorts the majority of the time here in Florida and being I am used to the weight of my 640, the K6S feels the same. Its a little snappy when shooting 357 Mag loads, but thats to be expected and it shoots 38+P as good as my 640 does and I find myself carrying this now more then my S&W revolvers, very well made and quality product from Kimber and well worth the trade.

I have this exact same revolver. Shot dead on at the range but the cylinder was not revolving. I fed it one bullet at a time, 5 times- to make sure it was a definite problem. Very accurate nonetheless. The firing pin spring.....messed up. Kimber changed the pin and spring and got it back to me in 1 1/2 weeks. I slapped some Altamont rosewood (to match Orig look) grips w the same Diamond pattern for a better purchase when holding it. Have yet to shoot it again. Can’t wait! Also the lettering on the front sight (MH3) is blacked out compared to yours. Great review, amazing gun and I agree w everything! Cheers

Should put j frames out of biz. Aluminum or steel superior trigger. Have a target model also and so accurate

Good Video Great Revolver Thank you TCCC

I'm not even seeing this model on their website anymore. Beautiful piece. I'm probably gonna grab the dasa and mod it a bit. A little weight on a snubby is a good thing in my opinion. Not gonna sting you as much with hotter loads 👍

I have the hammer version and it kicks like a buck! Love everything about it personally. Light to carry, plenty of power and does very well at 15-25 yds at a gong or eze see targets. Running Underwood JHP 158 grain ammo and it runs clean. Have a Craft holster and a Galco combat master which are both equally unnoticeable and comfortable. I have the Bodyguard too and cant wait to sell it...hate it!

Yea it’s a bit weighty, but shooting those tiny Airlites and the like are a pain and not nearly as good as having the next frame size up. Just got the 3 inch barrel version and EDC and I love this revolver. I have been pleasantly surprised for it. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the info. I have a chance to get one of these at a good price and did not know much about it.

The kimber control core grips are great for getting your pinky a place on the grip. Also they are rubber and cover the backstrap. Definitely don’t look as good as the grips you have on that cdp but way more comfortable

Love my K6S, picked it up when I was looking at less expensive revolvers. The guy in the shop recommended I give it a once over and I fell in love with it. I got a good IWB holster paired with the Alias mounting system. Its noticeable but not uncomfortable, it has a reassuring heft to it and it conceals fantastically. I just wanted a DA revolver with the absolute minimum controls. I can carry without worry about racking any slide, no safety, no BS. It's also fairly accurate out to 50 yards. I feel comfortable with mine, it gives me a little peace of mind when I am out and about.

What is the different between that magnum and 38 special +P

Great video, (subscribed). I really like the comment about the non existent safety feature but how safe revolvers are. I was wondering but now I understand. Thanks

Interesting video. Thanks for posting. You have peaked my interest about the K6S. I carry a 2.25" DAO SP101 as my primary revolver so I am used to the heavy snubbies. I will check it out.

How is this to pocket carry long term? I’ve got a Glock 43 that I pocket carry, but I love revolvers. I also love the stopping power options from this revolver.

Man I wish they still made these two tone versions of this gun

Sad that this model (the most beautiful imho) is no longer available.

I love the K6, but I would never carry mine in a sticky holster. The retention isn't there for the weight of this gun. All it takes is for me to fall down and now my gun becomes 'our gun.'

Even kimber go into the revolver game , I was hoping maybe one day glock would also make their own lightweight revolvers but I’m not holding my breath.

Could a gun like this expand hollow point rounds ?

I believe The rule of thumb for the average of most civilian vs criminal shootings is the “rule of 3” …3 shots, 3 yards and over in 3 seconds. Ofcourse it’s just a average overall. 👌

Cover 327 federal magnum steel or allow revolvers

A couple years since this review, have you experienced any problems with this model? I was considering purchasing one but can not even find it on Kimber's website. Makes me think maybe they were defective for some?

I've been carrying a s&w model 640 for 12 years. The trigger is superb like in came out of the box. It's easy to stage. It's weighs 21 oz and with the stock rubber grips it takes the bite out of 357s. So the question for me would it be worth the cost for one more round in the Kimber ?

23 ounces IS NOT HEAVY. MY 4” 29 is TWICE that. The K6s is a nice light carry.

I may still end up bitting the bullet and paying the cost of admission on this one. Questions: 1. What kind of speedloaders work with this gun? 2. Can the grips be changed? Can it be made longer/slimmer/etc.? 3. How's the after-market support looking for this gun?

Congratulations and thank you very much. You are the first one out of dozens of morons - even experienced - who actually showed the stage trigger feature in this revolver in a proper way.

That gun is not heavy compared to a Colt 357 Smith and Wesson. You need more weight for anything more than 9mm.

I’ve actually heard they where forged but who knows.

I want mines to pretty much eventually look like yours lol

I love kimbers.but they really stole alot of rugers looks 😂 beautiful revolver maybe someday ill fork over 1000$ ...as for now ill continue carrying a j - frame

keep your pythons, but throw out your old crappy revolvers and get a K6s

It cant hit a deer at 60 yawrds

I carry for 25 years a S&W k frame and I only stop carrying this gun because I now dedicate myself to collecting S&W revolvers and the model I carry is really expensive nowadays, but now I carry my Ruger Sp101 and anyone who knows anything about guns knows that the Sp101 isn't light! But I'm a big person so to me is ok the weight!
