Who makes your pocket holster
Alabama Holsters
Forgive my ignorance but where to do you make a request? I would really love to see your opinion on the .22TCM Caliber especially in the Rock Island Armory 1911 A2 (22tcm and 9mm) duel caliber pistol. Love your videos thanks and keep up the fun.
I'm with Big John, I want to know where to make a request for a "if you could have 3 firearms for a zombie apocalypse." I don't want to give you too many rules, but if you could keep to these two rules: A) You choose one handgun, and two long guns. B) These have to be from your collection. THANK YOU. And If you can get your son on board too, I'd love to see what he would choose (same rules apply) for this kind of scenario... The "If I had to go to war today, with the firearms I have right now."
Question: if you had to personally buy all the guns and ammo. Would you still do this? Thanks for what you do.
Oh how the times have changed. I did not appreciate this channel in the early days of youtube. I had a 5,000 acre play ground with a target rich environment. A brick of federal .22's was $8.96 fun gun ammo was $0.12/rnd Over the years I have come to love this channel and am now envious of your range. Thank you for the years of entertainment and information. Keep up the good work and keep us well informed.
hi hickok thank you for no particular reason other than being such a genuine and good youtuber, lots of love
I love these revolvers so much that I’ve ended up with two of them! I first bought the NS model (stainless with night sights) and then made the mistake of walking back into the very same crack house (i.e., gun shop) and walked out with the DC model (black DLC coating). They are truly phenomenal firearms - superb fit and finish, great trigger, and simply a pleasure to shoot. They’re pricey, but I believe they’re well worth the investment.
1000 years from now some archaeologists are gonna think world war 3 was settled on that hill
Bet you feel stupid now huh? Lol 2022 WW3 coming soon
Best comment I have ever read
😂 great comment. People will refer to bill as “god of war”
🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘
@@s.marshian8455 lol lord of war
When he stared talking about staging the 2 inch K6s trigger it made me regret selling mine SO MUCH. It was by far the most predictable, potentially powerful, and arguably beautiful pocket revolver I've ever owned or seen. You without a doubt 100% feel when you're at the hair trigger point as though it were a single action. This series of revolvers really can do it all if you want something practical and fun
Wouldn't we ALL have a "BLAST" just chillin with HICKOK45 ALL DAY. How could one not agree..
Don't forget to have your ears (ear plugs) on
i know of an entire political party not agreeing......
I’m typically not a huge fan of Kimbers, but the first time I picked up the K6S I couldn’t help but think it was one of the best revolver triggers I had ever felt.
It's nice I won't deny that. Just me, I prefer Ruger SP101, GP100, and to me by far the best conceal carry snubnose is Ruger LCR .327 Federal Magnum, 6 shots in a 5 shot 9mm/.357 size cylinder with 45K PSI cup pressure it is a MEAN cartridge. And you can load it down with:
.327 Federal Magnum (best)
.32 H&R Magnum
.32 S&W Long
.32 S&W
.32 ACP
.30 Super Carry
@@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Ittoi love ruger own many of there firearms. I just couldnt help it i bought the new kimber combat revolver in 4in barrel it shoots like a dream.
Bro
Same here
Kimber over S&W revolvers allllllll damn day
I'll second that. 👌🏻 It's excellent, as well as the timing.
I've always written Kimber off as overpriced with finicky reliability, but I'm here because I handled a K6S Target at a gun shop and MAN, what a nice trigger. Buttery smooth, crisp, and extremely light compared to a Smith or Ruger.
I’ve had the Kimber K6S for 6 months or so now, and it’s an amazing piece of machinery. Easy to shoot, for and finish second to none, and I own S&W, Colt, Dan Wesson revolvers...I was surprised at how well put together their K6S is. It’s a small snubby with 6 rounds (I don’t own the target or combat model, I have one of the original K6S snubbies with wooden grips).
Shoots like a dream, very easy to carry and I’m glad I got it. No regrets whatsoever, and I plan on getting the 3 or 4” model some time down the road. She’s a keeper for sure.
What’s the recoil like?
@@s.marshian8455 it's very easy to control with the stock grips if you're a good shooter
@@s.marshian8455 First Handgun ever owned coming from Riley Defense AK47- Surprising doesnt kick much when have strong grip, I had stock black rubber grip & recently put on Hogue grip, MUCH MORE Controlled feels like now just have too shoot it.
With normal 38 Special ammo, gun was extremely accurate with great grouping, not much kick, like 2 LBS worth kick if i could estimate.
Special +P had slight but more kick, but not enough to make fearful of recoil being to strong to disrupt follow up shots or when using in emergency, Going to firing range soon to see if shall Run Special +P For Home defense & Conceal Carry.
357 Magnum kicked HARD into your hand, feels like pushing a Brick into your hand, Hops Hard upward & digs into hand i found, Definitely after 10+ rounds you’d feel it, i Shot 6 shots of 357 and left the rest of the 357 alone. 😂
Currently running 38 Special (self Defense tipped) for Conceal Carry with Speedloader containing +P . Definitely recommend getting Stronger Grip for gun, after that good to go!
After a hectic day, watching this channel puts me in my happy place. Thank you sir. Guns, guns, guns.
In the DASA configuration, this Kimber is beautiful. Kimber including the recessed cylinder bores reminds me of the original S&W Registered Magnum revolvers that were practically custom guns. Excellent Tritium sights to show up so well even in low light conditions and is adjustable for windage with a proper tool. The 3" barrel so much more efficient with high powered rounds. Have to agree with Hickok- Kimber bring out a lighter alloy frame variation of the K6s for easier EDC usage.
I just bought a Kimber K6 S and shot for the first time today my 25 yard groups were 8” , I know they will be smaller when I get used to the locking up of the cylinder. The mass of the cylinder is really noticeable when it turns and locks into position, I got the feeling that the trigger pull lessoned after the cylinder locked. Once I figured that out I was able to align the sights and put them on target all by feel. Very nice, that’s why folks report better groups double action than by pulling the hammer back. All in all this is a very nice revolver , the three inch barrel is ideal.
You know what i like about your videos? Other than the guns....No Ads.
UA-cam wouldn't allow him to be monetised anyway, they hate guntubers. I'm glad that they get sponsors to keep them up.
There's ads now actually
The only ads i have seen are special thanks to buds guns and the federal ammo and a
Couldn't agree more. Mr Hickok. I bought a kimber k6 3 years ago. 2 1/2 barrel internal trigger stainless steel and I love it.
Recessed chambers are a nice touch that S&W gave up a while back.
"Just to prove I'm not a wimp" from the guy with 70,000 rounds through a Model 29! Great video Sir.
Nice ! I have that same 2" for pocket carry, and use a Sticky holster. I have the 3" hammerless version of your wood grip, carry it in a Desantis thumb break scabbard( OWB) holster. They are my EDC, depending on where im going that day and what im wearing. This 3" version with the hammer I plan on purchasing next. Having owned, shot and carried 2 of these revolvers now, I recommend these Kimbers to anyone who loves revolvers or wants to purchase their first one. Good video. Good shootin ! 🇺🇸
Thank you for this presentation. I'm glad Kimber uses stainless steel with so many of their products.
Love my 3" k6s, only complaint is that the rubber grip traps moisture / sweat. Carried it for a year and took the grips off to clean it once and notice a bit of rust and slight pitting in the grip. Added some grease around the frame under the grip and clean under the grips more regularly since then.
Just got to shoot one of these last weekend and it puts my GP100 Match Champion to shame! Slim profile and smooth-as-butter trigger. Fantastic 357 all around.
i dont have nearly enough money to buy a fancy name brand six shooter.. so i live my life vicariously thru these videos... thank you hickok, beautiful handgun, and beautiful shooting
A 2in K6S DA was my first gun. I love it. Love love it. A lot.
"I shoot this gun DA, the hammer doesn't impress me"
Yeah dude, full agree, but there were so many people out there that whined it didn't have one. I wonder if they actually got one!
I am.... hoping Kimber shifts into a more traditional revolver manufacturer. Wouldn't that be neat! I think they would quickly rebuild their reputations.
Only problems with the gun:
1) extractor is a hair too short. Casually pressing the extractor will not eject all spent brass. However -- doing it aggressively you should eject it every time. Practice.
2) Those super tight tolerances make it so that moon clips cannot be used. Period.
My 9 year old son absolutely loves your videos..he spends all evening watching! Thanks for the great content. Wish I could get him a chance to shoot a few rounds with you someday! P.S. We're from dickson county 😉
Ironically, UA-cam is cracking down on "creators," making sure we designate videos as "Not made for children." We hear from parents quite often, both in person at meet & greets and online, about how their really young kids like to watch. Even though we don't officially "make videos for children," we're glad they can watch. Never too early to get folks hooked into the hobby and into supporting our rights.
@@hickok45 Ironic things you hear and see on T.V. are no longer controlled. Even politicians shamefully ignore children are part of an audience. Scandulous people in the media, yet we control common sense education about firearms and firearms safety. I was raised shooting since I was 5 years old, now the word or picture drawn can destroy peoples lives. Shameful........
@@hickok45 I'd love to shoot a gun
saurav raj Singh join your military!
@@cosmolinefiend9853 Bit too late for that bro, I'm 28 and i work at a Bank lol.
My father had a Smith & Wesson Model 36 in .38 Special with a 3" barrel and a 5 shot cylinder, in a Carbon Blue finish with wood grips.
9:04 "ammo is pretty warm for social encounters". Gotta love it. Id still rather have the mod 65 before the hammer spur was ground off. However,I do like the fact the Kimber's chambers are recessed.
The K6 is the finest snub revolver that I've ever held in my hand. And although I have 3 Kimbers, I know that I'll never own a K6 because of the $900 (+) price tag. I have a .38 Colt Detective Special and a .38 S&W Airweight. They're not .357's but I got them for $400 each, used.
One of my favorite memories on this site years ago was when all the gun tubers got together to make a video and Hickok and FPS Russia where on screen having a conversation together haha.
Hickok is seriously making me want to buy one of these Kimbers. Can't decide on barrel length.
Update to no one: bought the 2 inch dasa
@@lennybrewster4673
How you liking it?
@@PermanenceAesthetic absolutely love it! Bought the 2 inch dasa. That trigger, so buttery smooth. Worth the premium and shoots like a dream.
I really like your point about “Every one should know how to shoot double action.” Understanding different firearms is important.
“It would never leave my pocket” - It sounds like you prefer an air weight revolver to a pocket semi-auto!
I love my 3 inch .44 Smith & Wesson magnum. I bought it because Hickok45 has one and loves it. I will try shooting it double action more often.
The Kimber revolvers look really good!
Regular person sees a bunch of two liters: Uhhh okay
Hickok 45: *Target rich environment*
I do really love my Kimber K6s 3" DA-only ! Its really nice and in Sweden very good price for the precision ! Lots of people would pay twice for competition revolvers..
I have the 3" DA/SA and I carry it woods bumming and casual concealed carry. DA is great but for popping a grouse's head the SA is very nice. The sights are big and blocky sights, sold my 642 to get the sights on the K6
I love my kimber 1911. I like the DASA. I think I’m going to put that on my wish list. Around $800 isn’t really bad for a revolver.
The DASA K6S is my edc the very old trick to pulling a gun with a hammer from concealment is to place your thumb on top of the hammer which makes a NM typing that would catch smooth slide right over the hammer
Thank you for demonstrating the pocket carry. I couldn't find any videos with the information. I wasn't even sure it would fit in a front pocket until now. Thank you.
I have more than my share of options, but 99 days out of 100 my carry gun is a Smith and Wesson .38 Chiefs Special, pre model 36. It was willed to me, new in box. Beautiful firearm, and enough punch for me. Thanks for the video, be well guys.
“Aaaa six shooter; it only holds six, it holds only six!” .... yeah!
I know I'm a bit late getting to this video, but I sure do appreciate your review. I explore abandoned mines for my channel, and I'm always wary of what might be waiting for me inside a tunnel, or even just out exploring. I've waffled between a few revolvers in 357, and this one, though quite pricy for my budget, fits the bill very well. Thanks!
Hickock45 is the only person on youtube that i actually listen to the advertisement
Thanks. These good folks who have chosen to support us are what keep us rolling! :-)
The accuracy is the thing with these dogs.
Hickok spends more on spray paint for his targets in a month than I've spent on guns in my entire life.
His budget in two liters and pot must be huge too😂😂😂
I mean he had a lot of subscribers me included so he still has a huge income from that. Therefore he can afford all of this.
Thank You for the information, just bought a Kimber Dasa with the 2 inch barrel!! Can’t wait to try it out!!!
Good stuff Hickok45. I'm in Japan right now until January, and missing shooting. It's always great to watch your stuff. Thanks!!! -Gunny T sends
I think these are by far the nicest guns Kimber make.
I really dig the 3 inch DAO version. Would love to see a showdown between that and the Rhino 30ds.
You helped me choose between the Kimber K6s DASA 357 Magnum Revolver 2" vs the Combat 3". Thank you.
That’s a handful I can tell by how firing it torques Hickok’s wrist, and his big wrist isn’t easily torqued. Now I want one.
We all love you Hickok45. You are an institution.
And now they’re coming out with a 4” adjustable sight target model! I will have one of those to go with my 3” DAO model. These revolvers are the best.
Gorgeous revolver !!!!!!!!! I was thinking about getting one of these Kimber 3 inch barrel of a S&W 686 in a 4 inch barrel. Thanks for showing this Cool Kimber K6s DA/SA 3 inch barrel revolver , Hickok45. Also have a Great Thanksgiving , Hickok45 !!!!!!!!!!
I have the k6 dasa 3" barrel. What a piece of fine machinery! I will say it hates cheap Russian ammo. (Tulammo specifically--Tends to be hard to extract, though it fires just fine) It was pricy, but worth it for me. I would like to get a 2" hammerless version, but that is a bridge too far for me right now. Someday...
That is a snazzy looking little revolver. It's got an industrial look to it. Very cool indeed.
Yea just picked up a 22. Magnum dong
So many people today prefer handguns that look more like a cellphone than a gun.
@@hellohun7331there's a reason for that. No one freaks out and calls the police over seeing a cell phone print
I never considered a kimber due to their high prices, boutique appearance, and even just the name/font. Within the last year I bought a k6xs (sold my 442), a k6s dao, and I’m picking up a k6s dasa tomorrow. I have a hard time considering any of the competitors now.
I think most who hate them don’t know how to not short stroke a da trigger, hate revolvers, love namesake brands, have heard the up and down 1911 history of kimber, or can’t justify the price. Those people are missing out.
Kimber did an outstanding job with the k6! My pick over an SW, Ruger or maybe Colt!
Revolvers are Problem Solvers
Finally got to shoot the 3 inch dasa..wow. At 10 yds, I was putting round on top of round frequently..best I ever shot. Something so cool about a wheel gun..
Lovvvveeee my K6s 3” DASA. Bought it to improve my shooting (first DA pistol I’ve ever owned). Plus it’s a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship lol
Looking forward to the review of the just announced 4”.
So Kimber FINALLY released the perfect revolver... Thanks Hickok!!!!
Yesss finally man
“BOOM! Let’s shoot one more time! No, let’s don’t.” That line makes me laugh. Decided to do the research and just bought the 3” DASA. It’s pretty to me. Excited to get it “all smoked up.”
Happy Thanksgiving to you Hickok45,John and the whole Hickok45 family. God bless you all and thank you for what you all do,
Thanks Mr H. Thats a really Tasty piece and Kimber seems to recognize what the market desires here lately. I'm really tempted.
I was pretty excited about the Kimber K6s until I saw you shooting it and was then pretty disappointed as I have never seen you miss so many targets, I hope this 3” reclaims my faith in Kimber Arms
It seems to me this guy never misses, I would love to watch a you tube about how he aims and shoots
Decades of practice
@2:37 Love the leaves falling!!!
I have watched many of your Videos! We agree on most. At 80 & 24 yrs of Mil. Service & hunting from age of 5. Coached some also, teams to kids as young ad4 1/2. I love your range! I boned my 60 S&W back in the early 70's . I think the 3" is much better shooter then my 2" ones! I would love 3" Kimber in this Video but prices are out of reach for me now! Air weights are easy to carry but much harder to shoot for many. I also love H grips. If not for reloads I could not shoot as much but I shot plenty while in the service! We can agree to disagree, OK ?
I originally did not like the Dasa as much as the original K6, but suddenly I really like the 3" Dasa and want that version before the K6.
hickok45 the only man with three pistols on the table and one in his pocket.
Thank you, Mr. Hickock,, You Have Just Shown Me The Open Carry Gun I Have Been Looking For.!! Since I Have been Needing one to Carry in my Pickups Bucket Seets, And I Do Need a Hammer Spur. 3" 6 Shot, 357Mag, Barely Fluted Cylinder, To Many Things To Mention. The Perfect,, Quality Gun, For Someone Like Me, Who Rides in a Vehicle Much More Than Walks..Especially an SSA Agent Like Me, Who Works Under-the-radar Sometimes.!
Take Care, & God Bless You.
~David 😎
Bought this (2 inch), love it. Next is the Ruger Redhawk 8 shot 357 and my snubby collection is complete.
"Unless I needed it to" 😂😂😂🤟🏽 That's why I LOVE this man!!!!!! The truth and nothing BUTT.
Mr Hickok I'm totally in your camp with regards to the 3" variant of this revolver. It's missing something like maybe a thicker underlug even if it's a 1.5"addition. And they need to lose the external hammer. I'll take the snubbie all day..........and it needs to take moon clips too.
I'm with you, 3" barrels are the winner for carry revolvers.
Tennessee winters! Short sleeves and maybe add a long sleeve shirt in February!
Revolvers. Beautiful and still relevant.
That sound of walking through spent casings😍 I'm going to cover my bedroom floor, so it's the first thing I hear whenI get up😎
John Rambo Why is it not a ringtone?
@@bho-lj1jk haha, for an alarm clock wake up call😎
Lol I really enjoyed that bit about not knowing why you were at the gun store. “Well, I know why I was there...there are guns there.”
Kimber makes fine firearms, and I have one of their 9 mm automatics. I checked Buds Gun Shop, the DASA is currently listed for $715.00. For me, I guess I'm a S&W fan, and have been since I was a teenager. I'd prefer the Smith 65, or 66. For pocket carry I have a S&W 649 357 magnum with a crimson trace laser on it.
Hi
Probably the best conceal carry revolver ever.
That hill has seen more brass than a middle school band room. 😂
The only man i trust when it comes to firearms.
Definitely on my to get list.
i found a Kimber six at my local gun shop and i'm having some serious thoughts about it and i'm a S&W man but that Kimber has an amazing da trigger and six rnds of 357 is awsome or 38 +p , always enjoy all of your videos especially the revolver vids because i know your passion for them and i love them also
The S&W 638 is a J-frame with a shrouded hammer that protrudes just enough to be cocked for single action shooting. Such a provision would be a welcome addition to the K6s.
I have been waiting for this video for so long🤘 you rock!
Yes👍👍👍
Hickok45... would love to see you do a pistol caliber carbine matchup review between a PSA 9mm 7" SBA3 pistol, a PSA AKV 9mm, and a Freedom Ordinance FX-9mm.
Am looking at them all, looking at the cost/benefit and usability of each platform and I can't make up my mind.
Love your channel! Thanks for all of the great shooting and great gun talk! Keep on keeping on! 👍👍
850.00 is a "put up gun". It would kill me to carry it, scuff it, drop it and potentially loose it to the evidence locker in a self defense incident. Speaking of guns that surprise you. And don't throw things at me - The Taurus 856 2' in DAO spur-less black. Looks like a "Night Cobra" totally blows me away. The trigger is as good as a S&W 642 with a polish and spring replacement. Now one of my edcs. And unlike most Taurus revolvers it does not tend to bind if you don't release the trigger all the way before the next shot. And I usually only buy S&W and Ruger revolvers. These Kimbers are works of art.
You have just made my day, thank you very much for making this video, been interested in this little gun since I first seen your video... Now I need one, only problem is here in Germany there are only a couple of dealers who have it and it costs over 1,200 euro's.... Expensive, but will probably be worth every penny...
toemag I have one! Yes, it’s worth every penny!!
I knew you would hit the 2 liters .... yes I will say it again - what a great shooter.
Man Kimber sure has surprised me with these. Goes to show that you can't pigeonhole any company, who knows what they might make next!
Never really been a revolver fan but this could change that
I carry a Glock, but I reall love 1911's!! I have four 1911's in different calibers, and I love shooting them!!!! I learned how to handle them in the Army!!!
It’s a great pistol. My first revolver, and first DA pistol. Love it, well worth the price.
That pumpkin shot on the run 🔫😂
If you’re considering buying a firearm and have any doubts, want a good talk of it with good shooting demo,,, always check if this gentleman’s got a video of it
💯👍🏼
Appreciate y’all from Texas
Thanks Bryan!!!!

That's where I'm from!!! I just love being an EAST TEXAN!!!!!!! I can buy all the guns I want, without a problem!!!! I love hunting, fishing and shooting at the range!!!! Same with all my kids and grand kids!!
@James Shackelford I'm from Beaumont!!!!
Those look like super nice quality made revolvers but I’m still loyal to Smith N Wesson and like the looks of the S&W look specifically. Plus they just don’t jam or misfire. My 442 38 Special is going to fire 5 rounds every single time. And the grip is like perfect even in someone’s large hands. Hitchcock is a big dude and his review of the J frame revolver is spot on!!!!
Plenty of people’s smith revolvers have jammed and malfunctioned.
Good info, I recently purchased the Kimber K6s 3 inch with the hammer for home protection only. I live in New Jersey and we have (unfortunately) very tough gun laws. Our liberal politicians want to take our guns away. My purchase of this revolver also considered that my wife can easily use the gun and easily pull the trigger;that's important!
“The smaller it is, the thicccer it is really helps me.”
-Hickok45 2019
Very nice gun. Its on my list as a 2 inch DASA. Really like your videos.
Wish you had showed them how the cylinder will spind and lock if you mention the trigger quickly, very precise action. Love this pistol
Tension
