Anybody seen the new Kimber K6xs alloy frame 6 shot .38

[HFS]

Anybody familiar with the new lightweight Kimber .38+P?
I've never shot a Kimber revolver. With 6 shots and alloy frame this one sounds interesting.
"Not only is it the lightest K6s ever, it offers something others in its category don’t: six-round capacity. Built specifically for concealed carry and chambered in .38 SPL +P, the aluminum alloy frame and fluted cylinder keep the revolver’s total weight under a pound (15.9 ounces)."

Looks sharp! Heavy on the pocket. The LCR 38 is 13oz.

For me the added weight of the gun (2.4 oz) in exchange for an additional round and an all metal gun would be a fair trade off. I haven't seen the new K6s but if the trigger is anything like the other Kimber revolvers it's gonna be a pretty popular gun.

I would buy this over the SW 642, due to the extra round. I am not a fan of the LCR, due to looks.

I had the opportunity to handle the similar sized Kimber, Colt, Ruger, Smith revolvers at the same time. Kimber has the best trigger and weight ratio. Colt had the second best. The others are okay but retail pricing might be your factor in decision making.

I had a stainless K6s, and it was a really nice revolver but too heavy for my taste for carry concealed. The trigger was good, and it functioned and shot fine. I’ve never been a fan of a hammerless revolver, but the Kimber was the easiest DAO to shoot accurately.

I would seriously consider buying another one with an alloy frame.

The K6xs is in my pocket right now. And have the 6s for when I go up north and people are wearing heavier clothing.
