Kinda silly to have a belly gun as a BBQ gun, but it takes all kinds.

 

My buddy has one, and there’s no telling how many .357s he’s put through it, and it’s still just as tight as the day he bought it.

 

I think Rugers are tanks.
And S&W has just about perfected the trigger and action on a mass produced firearm.

I guess my point is, that’s a lot of money to spend on something that a Ruger or Smith can do, at a better cost. And there’s a lot more aftermarket support should you ever what to change things.

 

It sounds to me that you don’t have any experience with the Kimber snubbie…

 

The standard model is around a grand so it comes down to if 400 extra is worth it.

 

Question is... is a Kimber K6 really worth even a grand?

 

I have a 3 inch model blacked out, they are fine little 357 magnums great fitting trigger pull and accuracy the lockup is super tight

 

No thanks

Looks horrible

Agreed, especially with that Texas crap all over it.

 

Interesting looking revolver.

I wouldn't mind having one, don't want to part with the cash, but just about every name brand revolver has gone up, up in price. Maybe sometime.
I've had a couple of Kimber 1911s, they were decent pistols.

 

Give me a 38+p at 16 oz I'd buy one (not a bbq version) imo best thing kimber makes

 

As much as I like my Kimbers, I'm just not into collectors editions of any makes/manufacturers. I'd pass.

 

I will agree that the SP101 trigger is nothing great.
Neither is the GP101, but the best trigger I’ve ever felt was probably on a Colt Diamondback.
and next to that would be a K19 Smith.

Lockup, I’d say it is hard to beat a Colt. I guess I’ll have to see if I can handle a Kimber next time I see one.

 

When I handed the K6 at the shop the cylinder wiggled slightly when cocked and trigger pulled. No end shake just the cylinder wobbled just a bit. When you guys say they 'lock tight' shouldn't the cylinder not move at all?

I have a S&W 66-1 snub and it is zero-zero.. cock it and pull the trigger and the cylinder just does not move at all.

 

I will say the revolvers are a good deal better than their 1911’s

 

I have Ruger, S&W, Colt, and Taurus revolvers. Most of the people pushing you towards Ruger or Smith probably do not have much if any experience with Kimber.

For a small steel frame carry Jframe like revolvers, Kimber beats out the Ruger SP101 period. Both the Colt King Cobra and Kimber K6S have nice triggers, but the K6S has the better sights.

S&W doesn't make a small 6 shot revolver and has the Hillary Hole. The only S&W revolver that I'd put up against the K6S is the S&W 640 Pro, but it's still only 5 shots.

With all that said, I wouldn't spend $1400 for that particular model. I'd just get the base model if it were me.

 

Maybe they'll come out with a 7 shooter in .327 Mag.

 

I love my 2” dasa K6s, it’s a great little 6 shooter. While I do like the engraving and don’t mind the white grip, $1400 would go a long way towards a big .44 mag that I want…..

 

How is it DASA? There is no exposed hammer, so isn't it DA only?

 

If I was wealthy, i'd probably buy one,

 

I've considered the 2" K6. Seems a well made product and the one I dry fired had a GREAT DA trigger pull.

If you want one engraved (much better than that laser engraved job anyway), go to Gunbroker and search "K6 Engraved". Altamont is selling around 15 of them in some interesting patterns imo.

Just my $.02.

 

Those Kimbers are sweet. Best dasa revolver on the market today. I don't use revolvers for self defense anymore so I'm sitting tight with my present accumulation. My SP101 with trigger job and Hogue grip is my favorite.

 

Idk, it’s kinda cool looking 😎

 

I'd pass as a Texan. Too small for a Bar B Que gun. Get either a Colt SAA or Colt 45acp

 

The K6S is by far the better gun than the Smith or Ruger. One thing not often mentioned is that the K6 has entirely machined internals. No MIM as of at least a couple years ago.

 

I own all of the above and strongly disagree. Each brand and model of revolver has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Cast, MIM, or Forged, Ruger and S&W revolvers have proven to stand up to the test of time and hard usage by for more people than the K6s. MIM parts for not stress components is a non issue. For a firing pin or such, yes, I can see the concern, but for triggers and the like, it's not a concern. I have not herd of an epidemic of S&W hammers and triggers breaking... They all work just as well except one adds more cost.

The K6s trigger reminds me of the trigger on my S&W Model 60, 640 Pro, and my Taurus M85 with a sping kit in it. Both the K6s, S&W Jframes, small Taurus revolvers have coil main springs.

My Colt King Cobra seems like it has the best trigger of them all. My S&W L frames come in next. Ruger comes in last. The Colts and L frames on up have leaf main springs.

 

Nuff said then.

 

Sorry...I'm not plunking 1,400 on a Kimber
