Fans of Kimber revolvers should warm right up to three new entries from the New York-based company, all chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge.
The new trio are part of the growing family of Kimber K6s wheelguns. They include the K6s DC (Deep Cover), K6s CDP (Custom Defense Package), and K6s Stainless 3-inch.
Unveiled at the January 2016 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show, the Kimber K6s is the world’s lightest small-frame six-round .357 Magnum revolver, according to Kimber literature. These revolvers have demonstrated their super suitability for concealed carry applications.
The three new 2017 mid-year K6s models offer details and features combined in a variety of purpose-driven configurations. The K6s Stainless 3” features a 3-inch barrel, low-glare brushed stainless frame finish, large smooth walnut grips and white 3-dot sights. The K6s DC wears a stunning smooth black DLC finish, ergonomic black G10 grips and low-profile tritium 3-dot night sights. The K6s CDP is complete with Kimber’s signature Carry Melt™ treatment that further rounds edges for snag-free carry, a smooth black DLC finish on the frame and brushed stainless barrel and cylinder and small parts, checkered ergonomic rosewood grips, while boasting a set of low-profile tritium 3-dot night sights.
The Kimber K6s revolver’s weight starts at 23 ounces and offers a compact ergonomic frame and 1.39-inch diameter cylinder, all machined from stainless steel for superior integrity, strength and resistance to the elements. Additional features include an internal hammer, smooth match grade trigger and edges that are rounded and blended to prevent snags on clothing or holsters.
The new 2017 mid-year K6s revolver models will be available at Kimber Master Dealer locations across America in the coming weeks. The suggested retail price is $899 for K6s Stainless 3”, $1,155 for K6s DC, and $1,155 for K6s CDP.
