In 2017, Kimber, renowned for its 1911-style handguns, took a new direction with the introduction of the Kimber K6s revolver. This innovative revolver aimed to modernize the classic Colt Detective Special, and it did so brilliantly. The Kimber K6s is chambered for .357 Magnum, accommodating both .38 Special and .38 Special +P cartridges. However, what truly sets it apart from its contemporaries like the Ruger SP101 or various .357 S&W J Frames is its unique 6-round cylinder. Despite its smaller size, the K6s' cylinder manages to hold one extra cartridge, offering increased capacity in a compact package.

The latest Kimber K6s model features a double-action/single-action configuration that takes Kimber's renowned short and smooth trigger pull to the next level. The double-action trigger pull remains at approximately 9.5-10 lbs., but the K6s now includes an exposed hammer for single-action shooting, delivering a crisp 3.25-4.25 lb. trigger pull for precision shooting.

The Kimber K6s revolver with a 3-inch barrel excels as a duty and home defense firearm. It also proves invaluable for outdoor enthusiasts, such as campers, hikers, and hunters in bear country. The added weight (2 oz.), extended sight radius (5.1"), and six-cartridge cylinder of the K6s 3" version make it well-suited to handle even the most potent bear defense loads, ensuring safety and reliability in the wilderness.
