Kimber, best known for their 1911s, is releasing something new for 2016, with the K6s revolver. Having been developed for approximately two years, the K6s is a 6-shot .357 MAG / .38 SPL revolver, with a slim profile, light weight, and internal hammer design, which makes it ideal for concealed carry, for use as a backup gun, and home defense. The barrel comes in at 2 inches, with an overall length of 6.62 inches and a width of only 1.39 inches. If you’re wondering how it shoots, the trigger has an approximate pull weight of 9.5 to 10.5 lbs., and the pull is smooth and consistent. Be on the lookout for the K6s when it releases later this year.

Neat! While I’m not a big revolver fan, it’s still kind of cool to actually see a CA legal handgun coming out from a major manufacturer. It’s just too bad that the only new handguns that will be CA legal will be revolvers, but that’s a different matter entirely.
Good to see that Kimber’s finally figured out a way to resolve the nagging reliability issues they’ve had with their pistols.
