The Kimber K6S is a double-action-only revolver chambered in .357 Magnum with a 2-inch barrel and 6-round cylinder. The polished stainless finish is both corrosion-resistant and visually distinctive. At 23 ounces, it's on the lighter end for a .357 carry revolver.

  The double-action-only mechanism means no hammer to snag on a draw, which matters for a carry gun. The 2-inch barrel keeps the profile short for concealment while the .357 Magnum cartridge still delivers stopping power. Black rubber grips absorb some of the recoil that comes with shooting full-power .357 loads. The 6-round cylinder gives it one more round than the typical 5-shot snub-nose in the same size class.

The Kimber K6S Stainless in .357 Magnum has a strong following among carry revolver buyers. Owners consistently praise the smooth trigger pull, which feels noticeably refined compared to most revolvers at this price point. Accuracy at practical carry distances is consistently called out as a strong point. The stainless finish gets positive marks for durability and the polished look.

The compact size and 23-ounce weight make it easy to carry daily, and the double-action-only configuration suits concealed carry well.

The main criticisms are price - the K6S is more expensive than comparable snub-nose revolvers from other manufacturers - and grip size. Shooters with larger hands sometimes find the grips too small for comfortable extended range sessions, though the rubber material helps with .357 recoil management.
