\"The
The Kimber K6 Deep Cover offers 6 rounds of .357 Magnum in an unprecedented size. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The story goes that a reporter asked Mark Twain what he thought about the rumor of his death. Legend has it that Twain replied, \u201creports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.\u201d<\/em> The same can be said of reports that the revolver is obsolete. It is true that .38 Special\/.357 Magnum revolver production is not what it once was. However, if the market was dead, Colt, Kimber, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, and Taurus (listed alphabetically) would not be introducing multiple new products every year. The small revolver seems to be experiencing a resurgence both at the local gun counter. One only has to look on Facebook to find groups like I\u2019m with Roscoe, The Snub Club, and The Art of the Revolver. They represent a large following for the round gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, Kimber surprised the market by introducing the K6 revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. The K6 was innovative and set a new standard for revolvers. The size of the frame was slightly larger than a S&W J-frame and smaller than a K-frame. The closest comparator, at the time, was the old Colt Detective Special D frame. Like the Colts, the K6 held six shots but was chambered in .357 Magnum. The K6 featured an enclosed hammer similar to a S&W 640. However, that is where the comparison really ends. I originally evaluated the K6 with a 3\u201d barrel. I was extremely impressed, and when Kimber brought out the 2\u201d Deep Cover, I requested one for testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The K6 DC comes in an attractive zipper run. Every K6 comes with a DeSantis Speed Strip. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

K6 Deep Cover\nGoodness<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fitting for the model\u2019s name, the K6 Deep Cover features a concealed hammer, giving it a snag-free profile. With the exception of the front sight, the K6 DC is completely void of offending sharp edges. While this seems like a simple thing, it takes time and attention to detail, to make it happen. The K6 is an all-steel pistol that contains no MIM components and weighs in at 22 ounces. The frame is beefy with a fitted slide plate that is retained by three serious hex screws. Instead of traditional flutes, the K6 cylinder features flats. These flats, along with the offset cylinder stop notches, strengthen the cylinder while maintaining the smooth lines of the K6. The recoil shield has been scalloped and the cylinder release is a checkered button that is easily manipulated. In addition, the charge holes are recessed allowing the cartridge to fit flush with the cylinder. This is a very nice and classic touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Unlike some competitors, the K6 DC is, with the exception of the front sight blade, completely void of any sharp edges that could cut or abrade the user and their clothing. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One noticeable feature is the elongated trigger guard that\nprovides more space for large fingers or when wearing gloves. The trigger has a\nsmooth face with radiused edges. The ejection rod is shrouded and the exterior\nprofile of the barrel is more oval than round. The Deep Cover features a pinned\nfront sight and a low profile rear sight that provides a Novak like sight\npicture with a three-dot Tritium inserts. The rear sight is dovetailed to allow\nadjustment and replacement. The front sight is pinned to allow the owner to\nreplace it if needed. Options include a black blade, white dot, tritium, or\nfiber optic blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The dovetailed rear sight provides a clean, and fast, sight picture. The DC comes standard with 3-dot Tritium night sights. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pinned front sight also features a Tritium insert for a fast sight picture under low light conditions. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kimber states that the K6 has the smallest diameter of any\nsix-shot .357 Magnum on the market. By my measurements, the cylinder on the K6\nDC is only 0.09\u201d larger than my S&W 640 Pro. As a reminder, the 640 is only\na five-shot revolver. The action on the Kimber is different from a Colt or a\nSmith & Wesson. The mainspring on the K6 is a coil over strut design like a\nSmith J frame which eliminates any \u201cstacking\u201d like that found on a Colt. However,\nthe cylinder locks up much sooner in the double-action pull than on a Smith. While\ndifferent, I came to appreciate the smoothness and clean break of the K6\ntrigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The VZ G-10 Boot grips are in keeping with the low profile of the Deep Cover. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The boot style stocks on the K6 DC are made from G-10 and are designed to be very compact. The stocks feature a single finger groove and fit the frame perfectly with no gaps or overlap. As a matter of fact, I had some difficulty getting them off the pistol for photographs. To improve fit, the VZ stocks have two additional index pins. The high horn design of the stocks is both practical and allows for a positive purchase. Finally, Kimber chose to finish the Deep Cover in a durable DLC over matte stainless that is both durable and esthetically pleasing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The K6 series features a coil spring over strut design similar to the Smith & Wesson J-frames. The action on the Deep Cover was very smooth with no stacking. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Range Time<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Being a snub aficionado, for most of my life, I looked forward to hitting the range. From previous experiences, I knew that, while chambered for .357 Magnum, the K6 DC is much more suited for .38 +P loads. However, some will want to carry magnum loads and I felt obligated to test at least one .357 personal defense load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
On the range, the K6 Deep Cover performed exceptionally well. With .38 +P loads, it was especially pleasant. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have long been a fan of Speer\u2019s Gold Dot loadings in all calibers. I stoked the Deep Cover up with six Speer 125 gr. Magnums and got down to the dirty work of testing. The Gold Dot averaged a blistering 1,254 fps out of the little Kimber and the recoil was excruciatingly violent. This was exaggerated by the short barrel and the small boot style stocks. Even for those who are not sensitive to recoil, the amount of recoil, and the long recovery time, make the magnum load a non-starter for personal defense. At 10 yards my first, and only group, with this load, measured just under 3\u201d. Using an online calculator, I determined that this load produces 436-foot pounds of energy! That is a lot of energy for both the shooter and the pistol. To coin an old adage, \u201cjust because you can, doesn\u2019t mean you should!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Speer 125 gr. Magnum load averaged 1,254 fps and punished both the pistol and the author. .38 +P loads are the best choice for most shooters. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Moving on to my two favorite .38 Special +P loads, I shot\nFederal\u2019s 130 gr. HST Micro and the proven Speer 135 gr. Gold Dot Short Barrel\nloads. They chronographed 786 fps and 815 fps respectively. Both the Federal\nand the Speer loads are specifically designed for short barrels. The Federal\nHST Micro is a wadcutter hollow point design while the Speer load is their\nproven Gold Dot projectile. Groups averaged under 1.5\u201d with an occasional flyer\ndue to shooter error. Recoil was mild and both loads are well suited to the K6\nDC. They also shot very close to point of aim which is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have come to appreciate Ken Hackathorn\u2019s 10-10-10 drill to test both my performance and the shooting characteristics of the pistol I am testing. As the name implies, the drill is 10 shots, shot from 10 yards, in 10 seconds. The drill requires attention to fundamentals, concentration, and establishing a proper cadence. With revolvers, I shoot the drill in two five-shot strings, each with a five-second par time. For compact revolvers, I bring the target into 7 yards. I only shoot the drill once for score. Shooting the K6 Deep Cover, I managed a score of 95 out of a possible 100. I pulled the group to the left which I first attributed to improper trigger finger placement and the smooth G-10 stocks that allowed the pistol to shift in my hand. A closer examination found that the rear sight was slightly off-center. A small adjustment and the issue was resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more we shot the little K6, the more it grew on us. Even with a shortened ejection rod, extraction was positive and I appreciated the rounded edges on the end of the rod. Everyone who examined the K6 DC commented on the high visibility sights. The comment of, \u201cthis is what revolver sights should be\u201d was heard more than once. We were hitting a steel vitals silhouette, offhand, from 45 yards with boring regularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Options and Final\nThoughts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For daily belt carry, Galco offers its excellent Combat Master holster. For those inclined, the Ankle Glove is a viable option for a back-up or low profile carry. Galco holsters, along with speed loads, pouches, sights, and optional stocks are available directly from Kimber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimber\nK6 Accessories<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2016, Kimber has expanded the K6 line to include 2\u201d and 3\u201d barrel lengths, different finishes, and, more recently, the SADA series that has a traditional exposed hammer. The newest model is the 4\u201d K6 SADA Target model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The author replaced the boot stocks with the standard length stocks found on the 3\u201d K6. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I found the stocks a little small for my hands. As shown in\nthe photos, I replaced the G-10 boot stocks with the longer length wood\nlaminate stocks found on the 3\u201d K6 DAO. The extra inch in length seemed to\nperfectly balance the Deep Cover and reminded me of an old Colt Detective\nSpecial. Another option is the Crimson Trace Laser Grip. Crimson Trace Laser Grip<\/a> Other\nthan that, I could not find anything else that could improve the DK6 DC. It is\nabout as perfect a revolver as I\u2019ve seen. For those who prefer an exposed\nhammer, the K6 SADA is available with a 2\u201d barrel with standard three-dot\nsights and retails for $970. Tritium night sights are available as an upgrade\nfor $129. Kimber K6\nStainless<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The K6 family is shown here with the K6, the KS SADA, and the K6 Deep Cover. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The only drawback is that some may find the Deep Cover\u2019s price tag a little steep. The DCL finish and tritium night sights drive the MSRP up to just over $1,100. The standard K6 Stainless retails for $919. By comparison, the new Colt King Cobra carry retails at $899.00. Outside of the exposed hammer, the Colt King Cobra series is probable, the best comparator on the market. Last year, I evaluated the new 3\u201d King Cobra and found it to be a solid and well-made pistol. Colt King Cobra<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that revolvers cost significantly more to make\nthan polymer auto-loaders. Given the upgrades in finish and sights, $1,155 is\nnot unreasonable. The K6 Deep Cover fills the bill in a lot of ways. The next\ntime you are in your local shop, give one a serious look. You might wind up\ngoing home with one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
