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 revolver with 3” 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 (5.1”), and six cartridge cylinder of the K6s 3” will easily handle the hottest and heaviest bear defense loads.
