Hmm 🤔 Kimber K6XS has great features for a carry especially with the last holster you demonstrated. I will have to add that one to my list to test fire!! 👍🏼 Thank you as always for the knowledge and entertainment!!!
I aim to please😉
@@DrTac Mission accomplished 😎
I wouldn’t buy a Kimber k6xs lol had to return mine twice to get it fixed . Sold it and don’t regret it
I'm sorry I bought it for the extra round which doesn't mean much.
K6XS is a deep concealed carry piece for ankle, pocket, iwb, or shoulder holsters. Equivalent to the classic Colt Agents and Cobras discontinued in 1999 with the bolt on hammer shroud and the holy grail Magnum Carry. The K6S and K6 SADA are owb holster guns for concealment or open duty carry as counterparts to the classic Colt D frame Detective Special, Police Positive, and Diamondback. At 7:00 you described "countersunk chambers," a custom feature of old gold classic S&Ws like the Model 66 'no dash.' Similar to but less effective than chamfering. I pocket carry as you do using the K6XS, a 642 or 637 without the hillarylocks. Try out the K6S with the Hogue Bantum grip that came with the XS, it should enhance handling ergonomics and shooting with +P and .357 considerably.
Interestingly, while the K6XS is almost a 1/2 pound lighter than the K6S, it is actually longer, taller, and wider than the K6S (with the 2" barrel, obviously)...in other words, the K6XS is actually larger than the K6S in every dimension, but it carries nicely because it's lighter.
I will look into the Hogue Bantum grip, thank you for the recommendation.
@@DrTac You have the Hogue Bantum grips Doc, it came oem on the K6XS just swap it out onto the K6S to determine if you like it on that gun.
If Kimber had better aftermarket grip support it would be better. The three grips they have don't quite fit. If Pachmayr or Hogue had a Tamer grip that fit it would be incredible. Everything else about the K6sx is otherwise a great revolver.
I'm okay with the grip on the K6xs, it's the K6s that I'm having the issue with. I'm on the hunt for a solution...I'll post it when I find it.
@@DrTac Thank you!!!!!
I sold my k6xs lol and got a Glock 30 gen 5 … the Kimber has cylinder lock up and then after I got it back firing pin broke lol so yea no more Kimber for me bud
That's awful. I will be on the lookout for thosse problems and I will definitely report them if I run into them. Thank you for sharing.
The Colts are better than these though, imo; the Cobra and King Cobra... 🐍
And they cost the same, or less.
So, I have a experience with both and I would have to say that the King Cobra pales in comparison to the K6S, based on their primary purpose; to be the smallest 6 shot 357 for deep concealment/pocket carry. While both are undeniably great guns, the Kimber is considerably smaller and has a better trigger (I can say this because I have spent a lot of time shooting them side by side). As for fit, finish, and ergonomics...I'd give it to the kimber, but damn the Colt is beautiful. Hold them side-by-side and tell me I'm wrong😉. Thank you for your comment, I think you may have inspired me to do a Colt Vs Kimber Video!! ...that is once I fix the G-d Damned grip on my Kimber😎
@@DrTac Hmmm... You may be right; I've never actually physically compared the two - hands-on. I only have a .38 Special Colt Cobra - so I can't speak specifically for the King Cobra. But the standard Cobra has a better grip for me; a larger sized grip that increases the trigger distance (reach) better than any of the other small framed revolvers out there on the market - which is better for my larger hands... The Kimbers have a much smaller grip (at least stock) - and I've heard that they don't have many aftermarket options. I've never really liked their blocky looks either - but that's just aesthetics. Is the trigger on the Kimbers realistically better?... I'm unsure - but the Cobra has a very short pull and flat-faced trigger, which makes it very accurate. It's sight picture - with it's red fiber optic front sight - also aides in it's accuracy... In fact, it's most likely the most accurate 2" barrel revolver I own. The only downside to it's trigger is it's weaker reset (unlike with a S&W, for example) - but this is something that can be mitigated through practice. The fit and finish IS better with the Kimbers though; I'll admit that... Their build quality is probably the best on the market. And some people don't really like the unusual bead-blasted finish of the Cobra (unlike with the King Cobra), but I don't mind it; I think it's designed for carry and to cut down on glare. I personally don't view the Cobras as pocket carries though; I think they're more designed for IWB carry - as they're a little larger and heavier.
Yeah, so they both have their upsides and downsides, in my view... And yes, an in-depth comparison would probably be a good idea. 😏 Have a good day then.
