Why this revolver stands out

This model pairs a blued stainless steel finish with custom zebra-striped grips, creating an ergonomic carry tool that resists corrosion while offering positive hand purchase. The internal hammer and fluted cylinder produce a snag-free profile ideal for daily carry, and the six-round capacity is a rare advantage in the snub-nose class.

Field performance and handling

Action and trigger

The KIMBER 1911 BLUED K6S uses a Double Action Only (DAO) trigger with a deliberate, consistent pull designed to reduce negligent discharges in high-stress situations. Despite the DAO setup, Kimber’s tuning yields a smooth stroke that aids in rapid follow-up shots.

Caliber considerations

Chambered in .357 Magnum, this revolver delivers potent terminal performance for self-defense, while the ability to shoot .38 Special provides a softer-recoiling option for practice and training. The 2″ barrel and fixed front ramp with rear notch sights favor point-and-shoot engagements at typical defensive ranges.
