Kimber K6xs .38 Special

Hello and welcome. Today we take a first look at the ‪@Kimberamerica‬ K6xs. I carried the K6xs for 4 months in a kydex holster by ‪@HarrysHolsters‬ and shot ammo from ‪@RemingtonArmsCo‬ +P. But my favorite ammo by far was the Georgia Arms Self Defense wadcutters. This is a high-quality and light revolver designed for concealed carry. Even though I'm not a revolver guy (yet), I really enjoyed this revolver. What are your thoughts on the ‪@Kimberamerica‬ K6xs? I look forward to your comments.
Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.

I chose the K6xs over the S&W Lipsey. I like you can easily stage the trigger with the Kimber, less snag points and one additional round. I also carry a S&W 340pd at times.

[@maxfit68906]

Same. The 642 from Lipsey’s is overpriced and overrated.

[@gunguy8348]

First 2 minutes I hear no rapid fire and we have Rambo over there. God forbid people want to shoot at the range

[@MDpolo]

Rapidfire is not allowed at the range where I shoot.

[@micfasto8700]

Why?

[@MDpolo]

@@micfasto8700range rules. Not my call.

[@RidersRange]

Nice! Lighter and less expensive than my K6S. And I love the LOK grips. Thanks for giving me one more thing to add to my wish list.

[@atoadigi]

Great review! I have had one for about 6 months now and I love it, like you said, great trigger for a snubbie revolver right out of the box. I also purchased some wadcutters and yes it does make a huge difference when shooting multiple rounds at the range. It's a joy to carry, very comfortable. Thank you for the info on how to change the grips, I was trying to figure that out and could not find any other info on how to do it from other reviews on KZbin. I live in the southeast and I work from home so 90% of the time I'm wearing cargo shorts and a t-shirt so I mainly carry it in a Mika pocket holster. I have other IWB holsters for other snubbies that I own that work with this revolver as well when I do carry IWB.

[@MDpolo]

I haven’t tried a pocket holster but I’m sure it disappears on you just like and IWB. Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to stop by. I appreciate it!

[@randyreynolds1045]

Really nice new gun❤

[@ElTejon47901]

I have overlooked this one. Thank you.

[@MDpolo]

I think it’s definitely worth a look. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by.

[@dennismones4366]

Very nice review! I have a Smith old school snubby, but I like the look and ease to conceal this Kimber. I will be making this purchase. And the tip on Georgia Arms is a nice bonus.

[@MDpolo]

You are very welcome. Do let me know if you end up purchasing one and what your thoughts are. Thank you very much for watching!

[@darrellbrewer4556]

I really like mine. Before you buy, take a good look at how the side plate fits and the cylinder lockup. A few slipped through qc a little sloppier than they should have. Waiting on my lok grips to show up (I mentioned your recommendation) and I even use the same ammo. Still looking for holsters, I carry my revolvers owb. And another great review. Thanks for putting out some good stuff, always enjoy your videos.

[@MDpolo]

Thank you for the information on the cylinder lock up. Have you tried one of Harry’s Holsters? For me, it made the revolver disappear and completely forgot it was there. Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to stop by.

[@ChristianGrest]

Still want to try out one of these Kimber revolver offerings. Great review! Thanks for sharing all the details and your experiences.

[@raymuccianti9438]

I carry the K6xs. It's a great edc pistol. But you have to obviously like a revolver. I do, but many I shoot with do not.

[@MDpolo]

You’re very welcome. I really like it. Like I said, I’m trying to be a revolver guy and this is a good one.

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Nice review! I think it looks fantastic with the Lok Grips. That's an interesting little tool That's needed for removing the oem grips, too. 👍👍

[@MDpolo]

The LOK Grips made a big difference. But the factory grips are not coming off if you lose that little tool. As always, thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to stop by.

[@Ishootfilm412]

What grip is that

[@googlechicken]

I just got a set of those LOK grips for my K6s DCR and they are great they are the best snubby grips I have ever tried and make the revolver so much better to shoot

[@MDpolo]

It made such a difference for me. Glad you like them. Thank you for watching!

[@zacharybrink5088]

I have about 150 rounds through my K6xs and it is a good shooter . I’ve been able to get good hits out to about 15 yards. I changed the grip to g10 Hogue piranha . I like the those LoK grips they look like they are a little wider . Thanks

[@richardkluesek4301]

Cheers and many thanks for your outstanding presentation. Have been looking for wascutter low velocity ammo and appreciate the lead to Georgia Arms. Lucky Gunner on youtube also sells that ammo and Buffalo Bore offers it with a reversed hollow base head, like a banned British Webley Manstopper Bullet of the 19th century. The Slim Cowboy channel initially praised this revolver in a couple of videos but concluded by returning it to the manufactuer for a beef that I noticed on mine and yours too at 20:00. The side plate at the top and inside the frame window has a visible gap of a couple of 000's inch. Like you I'm pleased in every way with this gun and am reluctant to get involved nit picking back and forth with Customer Service but am confident after viewing you fire all those +P Remingtons that the imperfection should be ok and is not necessarily out of spec defective. As a senior shooter owning old classic Colts and S&Ws to compare K6XS to, those guns have a flawless fit so tight that non gun folks would be fooled into not realizing there is a side plate in construction at all. I intend to shoot mine and place it in carry rotation with the S&W Model 642 (holy grail standard) and 637. One last tip to share. OEM politically correct genuflecting to the snow flakes of California and Massachuetts is that firing pins are "drop safe" by being shorter than renders 101% ignition reliability. According to some posted comments Kimber had some pin breakage issues. Dry fire with snap caps (spring loaded and polymer primer types) and range time should verify these matters before street carry. I bought a TK Custom firing pin to keep ready if needed while burning gunpowder to break my gun in. Looking forward to that process.

[@Pugh357]

Excellent review! I think it's great you're getting into revolvers. I'm really thinking about doing some trade for one of these. I have two of he original DAO kimber revolvers currently. The k6s Royal blue and the k6s with tritium night sights from the factory.

[@MDpolo]

I don’t think it would be disappointed. A very good offering from Kimber. Specially shooting those Georgia Arms wadcutters. It made a huge difference. Harry’s Holsters makes it disappear and forget that you have it all day. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to stop by.

[@jasonashley4579]

I need to get with the times, I'm still packing a model 15 combat masterpiece stoked with FBI load.

[@maxfit68906]

Fine weapon

[@toegoth]

How much did you pay for yours?

[@MDpolo]

$650

[@sprocket8934]

Thanks for this. I don't love how the chrome/aluminum are slightly off and don't match on the xs compared to the K6s, but those grey grips really make it work. Well done.

[@MDpolo]

I agree and thank your for stopping by!

[@DaLowriider]

I gave up trying to hear what you had to say when I couldn't hear anything. doh

[@MDpolo]

Not sure what you mean. I've double checked the video and all seems fine. Both on the main file and the uploaded file.

[@adamesd3699]
