Title: Kimber Revolvers
Post by: MechAg94 on September 12, 2017, 08:31:13 PM: http://www.kimberamerica.com/k6s-stainless-3

Looks like Kimber shows some new revolvers on their web site. The notable one to me is a 6 shot stainless with a 3" barrel. I think I would be much more likely to get that rather than the other models. At least I would be more likely to use it at the range. I think a belt holster would be needed to carry the 3" barreled gun, but I would have to see it in person.

All of them look pretty slick.

Who sells a Model 10? Seriously that gun was designed by God to be THE perfect revolver!

Exactly. I have 3 of them. Would get more if finances allowed.

Waiting for the single action army version?

I would be interested in seeing a 4" barreled version.

I'm also fond of classic S&W DAs.

I've currently got 2 revolvers on my "buy on sight" list, S&W 586 4" (or 686) and a Ruger Blackhawk in .357, either length.
