Concealed Carry Handguns – August 2019

plastic target ball out to 25 yards and,

shooting from a standing, unsupported

position with a two-handed hold, hit

the ball more times than not. Yes, it’s

realistic that I’ll have that rabbit for

dinner after all.

SOLID DEFENSE

Kimber’s take on the modern revolver

has been well received and might

even bring some new converts to the

wheelgun way. If you carry one of these

revolvers and you’ve trained suffi ciently

in its use, you are well armed. And with

the very capable DA/SA 3-inch model,

it’s not strictly a defensive fi rearm, but a

versatile handgun worthy of all-around

use in jungles both urban and remote

against a variety of unruly creatures. CC

“WHILE THAT TRIGGER IS

AN AID TO SHOOTING THE

K6S WELL, THAT DOESN’T

MEAN SHOOTING THE GUN

IS ALWAYS LIKE PETTING

A SLEEPING PUPPY...THIS

REVOLVER IS STILL VERY

SNAPPY...”

The author tested

the K6s with a

variety of .38

Special and .357

Magnum loads. The

revolver handled

nicely during fast

double-action iring

of-hand.
