The cylinder is incredibly slim for such a serious cartidge, but the gun shoots quite smoothly. I had to double check to be sure they didn\u2019t fill my cylinder with .38 Special instead of magnums. At the range at SHOT, I had the chance to see the Stainless model, Stainless with Crimson Trace laser grip and the DCR (Deluxe Carry Revolver).<\/p>\n<p>I had a chance to shoot the one with the Crimson Trace laser, and this is a must-have option for me on small-size revolvers. The sights on the K6s aren\u2019t as small as some pocket revolvers, but I still found the laser faster and easier to pick up. The DCR looks like a refined gentleman\u2019s gun to me, but they let me shoot it anyway. Rosewood grips wrap the frame, checkered in a\u00a0beautiful pattern. This model also features a fiber optic front sight, which was quite a nice addition.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_68938\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-10.32.08-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"revolver-kimbers-newest-additions-k6s-revolver-line-shot-show-2017\" title=\"rEVOLVEr: Kimber\u2019s Newest Additions to the K6S Revolver Line\u2014SHOT Show 2017.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68938\" title=\"rEVOLVEr: Kimber\u2019s Newest Additions to the K6S Revolver Line\u2014SHOT Show 2017.\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-10.32.08-AM.png\" alt=\"rEVOLVEr: Kimber\u2019s Newest Additions to the K6S Revolver Line\u2014SHOT Show 2017.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-10.32.08-AM.png 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-10.32.08-AM-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-10.32.08-AM-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-10.32.08-AM-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-10.32.08-AM-1024x576.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-68938\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author ran some cylinders of ammo through the K6S and was pleasantly surprised at the lack of perceived recoil with magnum loads.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Price &amp; Availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While the K6S has been hard to find for a while, we do have some listed on GunsAmerica.com for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.aspx?T=Kimber%20K6s\" campaign=\"KimberK6sonGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">sale<\/a> right now.
