i wish 327 magnum had taken off, LuckyGunners video on the 32 family is really cool

Super vel 90gr +p from this is about 1300fps and about 350lbs I wouldn't stand in front of it tbh 😅

There is no purpose for an exposed hammer on a 2” defensive weapon. It’s only use is to snag during a draw.

@@banditone00 shrouded hammer, bruh

@@prfwrx2497 it’s already an internal hammer. I get hammer shrouds (I carry a detective special in a simply rugged pocket holster). If it comes to complete internal hammer vs a shrouded hammer I’ll take sealed up system any day. I am with you 1000% on the 327, though!

Lol no

I didn't know kimbers work. Huh

I tried to like mine but it shot 3 inches high. Tried different weights and velocities with no luck. Incredible trigger and beautiful gun though

@@Terron35 That's the one misstep that Kimber made with them IMO. I believe they're all regulated for 158 grain 357 at 15 yards.

@@FCV0511 that sounds about right and I had bought a 3" model for my wife with the intention of using light 38spl. The trigger was phenomenal though

Some guy came to our range with a Smith and actually fired 10 rounds, 340 PD, not sure but he looked rather pained...

I gues only 1% of people who bought a scandium 357 snubby realy shoot 357 out of it.

Even 38spc+p is brutal in the airlite frames.

awesome internal hammer !!! best feature

@@cheeng1 For sure. My S&W M642 is great for what it is, but it is a challenge.

That’s what hot .38s are for dummy

I totally agree. And I also think Kimber got this one right by going 38 special in this lightweight frame. 357 is great in heavy steel framed guns but NOT in lightweight alloy revolvers. If I owned a 360 PD like you I would just load 38 Special +P and call it a day. At least then you could get some use out of it.

He really did speak too much and interrupt

Couldn't agree more

Got a LCR that my wife and I use as a barn gun.. perfect for dispatching critters in the live trap we set by the attached hen house...

Ruger pioneered the 327 Federal with 6 Rounds in a smaller cylinder

Very very few revolvers come standard with what you’re requesting. If anything, that would be on you to have it installed.

@@MajimaGoro8 I said for MY needs a replaceable front sight would be beneficial (should have said just "replaceable"). Kimber is doing a great job by implementing REAL innovation in the revolver space. This one additional thing would make the revolver perfect FOR ME. There are many revolvers that offer pinned, replaceable front sights (Ruger, S&W, Taurus, etc.). I can hope, can't I?

There are many of us who prefer nearly ANYTHING over a 3-dot sight.

The Python costs less than a Kimber revolver? On which plane of existence are you currently wandering?

3 dot sights are mediocre as hell

Unless they changed something in the trigger, the Kimber trigger should be much nicer too.

​@Jack Johnson the performance center 637 and 642 have really great triggers.

Maybe colt will actually make a Cobra in an alloy frame now, nobody else is selling only steel pocket guns at this point

@@claytondennis8034 I added Hogue grips and a Wilson springs kit to my 642. Both mods only cost $25 each and made the gun 100% better.

yeah, 9 rounds plzzzz

I’ve been looking forward to this thing for years, probably gonna sell my K6 DCR and get this and a 3 inch K6.

@@Travis_Trauma I’ll take your DCR lol

8? Make it 10.

The Colt Night Cobra is a great 6 shot pocket carry revolver.

It's lighter. Not smaller in size.

my only guess is that by "K6S" they mean the full K6S line like the target and match. Although their website says "larger FRAMED sibling" which says to me a frame size like the SP101 vs GP100. Since they fit the same holsters, best I can tell these are literally the same dimensions with some extra machining and materials in the XS to reduce weight.

Well the ruger is a heavier 5 shot all steel .357 magnum. Whole different animal. Their claim to fame is 6 rounds. In their .357 steel versions and now this in .38 special.

@@graywind4326 Thank you. I did not hear the barrel length of the Kimber.Was it 2.25inch?

@@graywind4326 just let me say the SP101 327 FedMag can hold 6 rounds.

@@sealove79able Got me there. And their revolver would hold 7 if its chambered in 327. We were comparing in similar caliber. 38/.357

@@sealove79able To start off with yes

Who asked u

@@DinoNucci who asked for your reply?

@@jaredcaldwell4270 wrong

I just bought it today 😅I’m thinking ankle holster 🎉

Why? The only thing exposed hammers do for a 2” defensive revolver is give you something to prevent a clean draw.

@@banditone00 Just to make you upset. You do realize it’s all about you and the way you like things, right? Everything. That’s the whole reason we all do anything. To suit your tastes and desires.

@@Peter-ff1tp I am seriously curious if there is some reason. I don’t have to be upset, because they started out making the model which makes sense to me. It was a brilliant reply, though, Pete.

@@banditone00 Just because it’s ideal purpose is close and dirty doesn’t mean you won’t ever need to take a clean 50 yard shot under stress. The firearm is perfectly capable. Are you capable with the 12 pound trigger? I don’t think I could do what that kid in the mall in Indiana did recently with a double action. Less important, but my primary motivation, is the use of the hammer while holstering. There isn’t a single thing in the world more secure feeling than holstering a double action appendix with your thumb on the back of the hammer. If your concern is snagging, the hammer can be bobbed down and rounded to be smooth while still allowing purchase for cocking. It simply makes it a more versatile and useful firearm.

@@banditone00 you're completely wrong... the recent defensive ammo offerings from several manufacturers really allow even a 2" snubby to seriously stretch its ccw capabilities beyond the stereotypical 0-7 yds 'get off me gun' role it's been thought of up to recently, up to 20 yds and beyond; and this is only the beginning of this trend in ammo design/capabilities... especially if carried in a dedicated ankle/minimalistic holster instead of merely in a pocket... in many certain scenarios and distances of beyond 10 yds a s/a trigger can be indispensable and even so on a 2" snubnose thanks to the advances in ammo capabilities...i'd seriously consider the purchase of this handgun as an alternative to my smith models 360pd, 637 and the ruger lcrx but will not precisely because of lack of this s/a option whereas i might seriously do so if it's offered in a sa/da version... your opinion is dated and invalid, check out some recent videos on 38 spl ballistic ammo and distances up to 70yds tests in snubbies and open your mind to possibilities... i've already replied elsewhere in this comment section to your nearly identical comment but apparently you've removed it by the time i clicked the 'reply'...

Depends what type of 38. There are some impressive rounds out there that can easily exceed performance of 9mm.

9mm, or any auto cartridge for that matter, is not a good choice for a revolver. If you are gonna carry a revolver, use ammo designed for it. A friend of mine thought he got a good deal on a used Ruger LCR in 9mm. But the moon clips just didn't work well. The rounds would not stay in place in the cylinder and cause jams. Not all the time, but often enough for him to notice. For that problem to happen in a gun you are going to trust your life with, well, that's not acceptable. He ended up selling it.

Till it goes out of battery because your in a struggle for a gun . Now it is a harder gun to take away ,still fires 6 shots vs your single shot out of battery gun .... No timeouts in life or death

@@edstringer1138 So…we’re just going to act like revolvers can’t be stopped from firing through manipulation as well? Cool. I love them all, but let’s be honest while we’re being honest.

You're right that semi-autos are more efficient, although the Kel-Tec P15 has yet to establish a track record of reliability. It may take a decade of design tweaks before it reaches its full potential. There are lighter revolvers than this Kimber, specifically the Ruger LCR and S&W AirLite, available in a variety of chamberings including .357 Magnum (although .32 is ideal in these ultralights if you ask me). Still, you could carry a Ruger LCP Max with more rounds. Or a Kel-Tec P-32 that's lighter than any revolver. But I really like the S&W AirLites. They're all about 11-12oz. The practical advantages are few, and they're thicker than semi-autos, but at this weight they're not much worse, just different. People like that they won't go out of battery and be disabled during a contact shot, although there are certainly ways a revolver can be manipulated not to fire. In the small mousegun pistol calibers (smaller than .380), few semi-autos are reliable. Basically, you've got the Beretta tip-up barrel mini-pistols, the Kel-Tec P-32, and the Ruger LCP .22, and they're all good but not perfect. The revolvers are more reliable. In .22LR, they're especially competitive against small semi-autos, as they hold a lot of ammo in the cylinder and they will cycle a dud round due to their nature. On the other hand, rimfire revolvers have heavy triggers. I think they're a strong selection for a backup gun or small deep concealment piece, if you don't demand the absolute smallest and lightest gun. And in small calibers, they're more competitive. Once you get to 9mm, the semi-auto is clearly more efficient and sometimes more reliable. Although there are some niche uses. I think the Chiappa Rhino in 9mm would make a good heavier home defense pistol for someone averse to recoil who wants to shoot a 9mm and doesn't mind the limited capacity. Revolvers tend to be easier to use and maintain, which is important when dealing with gun owners who are not hobbyists and just want to stick a gun in their sock drawer and forget about it for years until they need it. Revolvers are a little more intuitive.

Yes, but I'd rather have 6 rounds that I know work than 1 round that fires and then jams on you right after.

KelTec is not even in the same league as kimber. Those are like toy guns. I had two back in the day when I was broke and cheap.

FireIT ................by IamDayLight It's up on youtube.

I'll take your 637 PC!

Isn't the point of 327 federal to get 6 shots out of a j frame?

@@philllax1719 Yes and no. It offers quite a bit over 38spl, even +p. That said, it can be a little snappy to some, but I don’t think it’s bad at all.

One more round?

And weight difference is really so small that it really shouldn't matter

I think the difference in weight is only about an ounce. Maybe two. Not enough difference to make a difference.

@@LA_Commander well it's 15.9oz vs 14.4oz when compared with smith 642 [sans the internal lock version] so plus 1.5 oz difference although kimber costing more $... so this new kimber is slightly heavier and this might still be justified given the regular k6's rather very good reputation as expressed by many experienced owners and wheelgun users... however, at a slightly higher cost of competition and if one's objective is a quality ULTRALIGHT snubnose. then imo it loses on all fronts to smith's models 340pd/360pd because compared to the 340pd sans internal lock model's weight, the difference is then a whopping additional 4.2oz... and only 0.1 less to the sa/da 360pd which although both 340pd/360pd] are officially chambered in .357mag, they should really be thought of as ultralight .38 spl snubbies imo... in the latter's cases the weight difference is huge favoring both smiths if carry weight is the predominant factor and the 360pd offers sa/da option which is another huge plus for the smith imo... personally have never owned or even shot one but have heard/read good things about kimber's [much heavier] standard k6s 2" and 3" snubnoses so personally i would quite possibly consider this new k6xs as an alternative to my smith/ruger u/l snubbies but only if offered in sa/da variant... lastly, as some others commented, an additional perk would be to see the sa/da version in also 9mm and .327mag/.32 s&w variants, especially if the 9mm could be made more versatile and easier to use than ruger's current offering which requires use of very fragile clips and has other issues according to some reviews... i've been jonesing for an uber reliable, versatile 9mm ultralight snubnose just to have that caliber option to the ubiquitous semiautos...

@@lordofthemound3890 You're right, I completely missed the obvious. The cylinder is a little wider to fit the extra round, but it's a compromise many are willing to make. Plus, it's a high-quality gun despite the fixed sights. I myself might put up with some minor downsides for an extra round, if I wanted a .38 Special. I prefer .32 or 327 in these really lightweight guns, though, so I'd still be getting six rounds with other revolvers.

You don't want to fire full power 357 in a small, lightweight aluminum revolver like that. The recoil sucks and it would be much harder to be accurate with it. Kimber got this one right by making it in 38 Special +P.
