    Bought one of these k6ss early on, when they weren’t popular. My local gunshop and range had them on sale for $100.00 off. I was there for the range and had some extra money, so I bought one. Totally changed my mind. I now own a 21/2 inch, a three inch, and my wife owns a 21/2 inch. I don’t even mind them loaded with 357s. Highly recommended!

    I’ve owned my K6 for 4 months now and have run over 1200 rounds of a variety of 38 specs and 357 mags through it. I think it’s a “game changer” in the defensive carry revolver market and it’s now my primary CCW. Excellent double action, sights (also easily changed if I want something different), fits my J frame holsters and just enough heft that hot loads are not un-shootable.

      Are the ballistics of a 357 magnum even GOOD out of a 2" barrel though? Or do you just end up with a lot of recoil without a lot of velocity? If so, the K6S DASA 3" might be the more attractive option, that still has a hammer for SA if you like.

    • @dand579
      @dand579 4 роки тому +1

      @@BoopSnoot the extra inch will gain you at most 200 fps. Even with a 3" barrel the slight radius is too short for much range - see Hickock's comments about this being 'an up close and dirty gun'. Thus, for the useful range of this gun, 357 magnums will be very effective for any defensive scenario.

  • @Rubijoyal
    @Rubijoyal 2 роки тому +7

    you changed my whole perspective on revolvers for concealed carry. While the ammo capacity isn't great, nor is the reload time great, reliability is most important thing for a carry gun right next to how comfortable it is in your hands and how easy you can conceal it. You want to be printing as little as possible, if not at all if you can help it. I would love to have one of these Kimber revolvers, but a 1000 dollars I think is asking a bit much. I would love the 6 round capacity, but again for a 1000 dollars? Regardless though, I think I will consider a J Frame or the Ruger LCRX with a 3 inch barrel

    Kimber makes very nice revolvers - People just get loyal to a company's name and knock anything new that comes out - I will tell you this - That gun is very nice - After seeing all different types of revolvers that handgun is probably the nicest yet - Small, Compacted, Built and made very well - And shoots .357 Magnum rounds ? - What more could you ask for ? I will definitely pick up that handgun for my first revolver without a doubt.

Unfortunately i don't have the luxury of having a local gunshop with friendly, helpful, and knowledgable staff near me so buying firearms before was a very hit or miss experience and after buying 3 pistols all of which i wasn't 100% satisfied with afterwards I decided to look into reviews and found you and haven't had that kind of bad experience since... again THANK YOU and GOD BLESS

Along the way I picked up a Colt King Cobra and was all set to pull the trigger on buying that however I wasn't all that happy with the sights. Then one day I happened to see a Kimber K6s DASA, it was love at first sight, the trigger pull and sights were made for me, I loved the style and quality workmanship that went into making it. Yea it cost a bit more than the Colt or Smith but not enough to matter that much to me.

    Thanks for posting this Outstanding video review of Kimbers K6s 357 Magnum with a 2 inch barrel, with fixed 3 dot white sight revolver! Great review as always!
    I recently bought a Kimber K6s revolver and really enjoy my range secessions. For a 2 inch barreled revolver it is extremely accurate!!! My results at the 7 yrd -10 yrds range, I've shot one inch groups. At 15 yrds my groups were only 2-3 inches. At 25 yrds the groups opened upto 4-6 inch groups. My model K6s revolver has the fixed 3 dot white sight, which I find are very accurate, but will be changing them for Night Sights.
    The trigger pull measured right at 10 pounds on my trigger pull guage. This is a double action only trigger, but it is very controllable, I can stage the trigger midway or so to have a single action feel about it allowing for precise sho placement t. This is an outstanding carry gun that I can count on when needed!!! I'm also looking at Kimber's K6s DASA with the 3 inch barrel in 357 Mag to add to my wheel gun collection.🤠 I'm also a 1911 fan and carry one regularly backed up by a the S&W 442 or 60 and now the Kimber K6s!!!
    I've always been a revolver fan especially S&W Revolvers, 442, 42, 15, 19/66, 65, 60, 49/649, 586/686/686plus, etc... basically any S&W wheel gun.
    Way back in the late 70’s and early 80's, I carried either a S&W 19 2.5 inch barrel 357 Magnum for on/off duty carry or a model 66 2.5 or 4 inch barrel 357 Magnum, with only 6 rounds in the chamber and 24 rounds in my 4 Safariland Speedloaders on my gunbelt. I never felt under gunned or that I didn't have enough to on me. I always carried what we called a war bag back then(Aka: "Bugout bag" now, back then it was packed with extra ammo 2 50 round boxes, food was MRE's, water, change of clothes, a small zipper bag with 6 extra Speedloaders loaded with Federal 125 grain Semi Jacketed HP ammo.) Outstanding ammo with a reputation for one shot stops according to Even Marshall's book.
    Stay Safe and watch your Six!!! Reb Tyree out.

    From Chapter 36 _Power and Empire_ (Fair Use excerpt):
    "At the same time, Bonnie Porcaro reached beneath the table with her right hand and drew a stainless-steel Kimber K6s .357 revolver from a simple pancake holster under her vest. The vest was stylish lightweight cotton and suited a woman of her age. It also did a nice job of hiding her sidearm-which she was seldom without.
    "Bonnie had done her research, quizzing her nephew, who was a detective with the Dallas PD, and watching dozens of videos of different models on the _Hickok45_ UA-cam channel. This was the first gun and holster she’d ever owned.
    "Bonnie wasn’t a gun nut any more than a person who needed a pickup and bought one for a certain purpose was a truck fanatic. She did not concern herself with all the fancy gadgets and gizmos in the firearms culture. Still, she was practical and went to the range with her girlfriends once a month, religiously presenting the weapon the same way each time she took it out of the holster at night as her instructor had taught her. The little Kimber was plenty for her needs-and she was a heck of a shot. Her nephew told her so.
    [...]
    "Bonnie Porcaro let the man’s silhouette blur, focusing on the Kimber’s front sight as she pressed the double-action-only trigger. Her instructor had told her over and over that slow was smooth and smooth was fast. The pistol barked twice. It was so loud on the range, but, oddly to Bonnie, it seemed to make no noise as it fired. She wasn’t even sure it had fired, and then thought maybe she’d missed if it had. The man with the flat nose just turned his head to look at her, as though he was put out by her behavior. He started to bring his gun around, but she’d already adjusted her aim and pressed the trigger again. The Kimber’s third bullet punched an almost perfect hole in the bridge of his flat nose."

    I had a little extra money and was offered a k6s introductory special at the range where I'm a member (Kimber dealer). I had never owned a Kimber, but it looked nice so I splurged. Still, I wasn't sure. Took it home cleaned it and brought it back. First shot-smooth trigger pull, crisp break, hole in dead center of the target with the next five in a very small cluster around the first. I have never shot so well with a snub nosed revolver. The k6s will win you over in six rounds less.

  • @user-mt4vo4ey5n
    @user-mt4vo4ey5n 6 років тому +4

    Beautiful revolver. Would I pick it over the Ruger SP 101? Yes, if they were the same price. But they are not. About a $300 difference.That's $15 per year over a 20 year period of ownership, so that's one way to look at it. But my SP 101 will shoot a man size target at 7 yards every bit as well as the Kimber does. I chose to keep the $300 in my pocket.

    I've been following Hickok45 since the early days of UA-cam when he was a hand shooting a Colt Peacemaker at a steel buffalo. I think this gentle giant taught an entire generation what a gun really is, especially in places that like to deny our civil rights, and in times that got pretty rough for our country. I'd love to see ole Hickok45 on the Joe Rogan podcast. I think Hickok would find Uncle Joe a very studious host. They're both cool guys. They really need to talk guns.

      @livincincy4498 6 років тому +7

      I think it is marketing to get you to spend $1800 for a 357... First you bought a 38 for $750 then you paid a premium for the 357 when it came out.
      Lets hope it is a 3" (6) shot 357 to compete with Kimber.

    I have had a K6S for more than a year now. Great gun. But, as you said, it was expensive. Now Taurus is selling a Model 856 in .38 Special that is a 6 shot snubbie almost exactly the same size (they fit in the same holster). The street price is about $300! It has a hammer and a good trigger (though not as nice as the K6S). The build quality is good though the finish and sights on the K6S are top notch. Good video.

    I used some rubber insulator tape on my rosewood grips. Perfect. I have a set of the rubber grips you are using but makes the grip about an inch or so shorter. Not having the surface length at first distracted me but after some practice realize it really doesn't matter. Just retrain ourselves.ha.

  • @bluekoi455

    I’ve always loved the fat rubber strip on the Taurus revolvers and wonder why other manufacturers don’t do this. It absorbs recoil immensely,especially with Casull rounds

    I carry a K6S in nice parts of town. In bad parts of town I carry a 6 shot Taurus 856 (22 ounces!) in .38 Special ($400 less expensive). While the Taurus has a more basic fit and finish, both are great guns with great triggers. I have sold my four 5 shot S&W J-frames (though I am keeping my 3" 65-3!). Good video.
