    Kimber K6s

    I've always been a Kimber 1911 hater. Always found them to be overpriced and just in general never got the hype. I was at Turner's in Chino Hills today and they had a K6s in the case. I'd seen pictures of them, but never handled one in person. Long story short, I'm kind of jonesing for one. The trigger was so smooth its not even funny. Might be the best DA trigger I've felt, knocks the pants of some of my S&W's.

    Hmm... Not on their web site. How much do they want for them?

      I want to say it was listed for $880 or something like that.

        They go on sale at turners every few months. Nice gun. Thought of buying one but felt small in my hands. Still very nice pistol.

            Really nice revolvers, my dad bought one a few months back. I think he paid just over 750 for it. Nice trigger, seems to be well built.

                I bought one at Turners 6 mos ago. Yes they are small- almost as small as my Ruger LCR, but I really like mine. That being said, I can get a full grip on it when shooting which is nice.

                You are right OP, I was dry firing mine yesterday and the trigger is super smooth. I think it's a great little .357.

                  My wife DROS one last weekend. Has the laser for training and seems very well assembled with a beautiful finish.

                    I'm a huge S&W revolver K and L frame fan but the Kimber K6S really impressed me. The revolver is well made, fit and finish. Tight lock up and as others have said, nice smooth non-stacking trigger. Shoots well. I have put 150 rounds of 130g .38 Special downrange with no issues. Have not tried .357magnum as my carry load is Federal Hydra-Shok Personal Protection JHP 38 Special 110 Grain. I went with the 3-dot nights sights and am very pleased.

                      We won one at a nra dinner a few months back.
                      Great trigger, a little brutal recoil with 357 but manageable for me.

                          I have a K6S also and love it. What brand holster is that in the picture? haven't decided on what holster to purchase yet that one looks pretty nice!

                            It's a Garrett Industries Silent Thunder GT IWB. It's nice because it is leather lined and the holster has a slim profile with the offset clip. I wear AIWB or 4:00 depending on clothes.

                              Have any of you noticed any issues with surface rust on the k6?
