About the Kimber K6s
The Kimber K6s is a small-frame, six-shot double-action revolver manufactured by Kimber of America. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it is designed primarily as a concealed-carry and personal-defense handgun, notable for fitting six rounds into a cylinder typically sized for five.
How the California versions differ
- Barrel length: Versions are available with 2-inch, 3-inch, or 4-inch barrels, offering a range from compact carry to a longer sight radius for target shooting.
- Action type: Standard K6s variants are double-action-only, while the DASA models add a single-action mode for a lighter, shorter trigger pull on subsequent shots.
- Finish: Options include Brushed Steel, Satin, and Stainless finishes, affecting appearance and corrosion resistance.
- Grips and sights: The Laser Grip variant includes an integrated laser sight, and the DC (NS) model designates night sights. The DASA 4" Target and Target GFO variants are oriented toward more precise shooting, with the GFO model featuring a front optic or sight mounting option.
- MSRP variation: Most versions share a $1,095 MSRP, though the K6S DASA 3 carries a lower listed price of $899.
Who it suits
The K6s family is well suited to concealed-carry holders who want a compact, powerful revolver for everyday defense, with the longer-barreled DASA variants appealing to those who also enjoy range shooting or home defense use.
