Well, that got your attention. Was interested in the Kimber K6 series. When I saw the K6XS it seemed to address some of my desires for a carry 38 which is lighter than my current stainless Taurus 856. A YouTube reviewer, actually a couple of them, seemed flummoxed by Kimber's decision to offer an aluminum framed K6. And reviled that it was not a .357. Here are some pics and my impressions after first shots: 50-60 factory +P and about the same of my XTP 38 reloads...HOT! First some pics: So my verdict is that it is a workable tool and I like it. It is very nice, though not perfect. Not cheap, but not overpriced. It is tolerable to shoot more than a few rounds with. It functions smoothly as expected. It can put lead down range quickly and accurately at short to moderate distances. POI is right under the front sight dot. Accuracy is pretty impressive at 5-10 yards (likely defensive ranges.) Rear sight could definitely benefit from some anti glare treatment. One of the naysayers said you could not get the carbon off the frame after shooting because it is aluminum and too soft for a brass brush. The carbon from today's shoot removed easily with a little CLP and a nylon brush...easily. There is no noticeable cylinder trace yet. Trigger pull is nice for an out of the box wheel gun. It is overall light and pulls straight through after the initial resistance, I don't try to stage it. For me, the front sight does not wiggle left or right at let off...YEAH! When I tried it at the dealer, that is what sold me on it. -In comparison my Taurus 856 has a MUCH heavier trigger pull. Takes quite a bit more control to avoid front sight movement. It does have single action which can aid accuracy. -My old SW Bodyguard 38 in the background has the lightest trigger, though it has many hundreds of rounds through it. It takes more control than the Kimber to keep the front sight from wiggling at let off, though not as much as the Taurus. The Kimber and the Taurus both have 6 shots...wake up S&W. Compared to a micro nine.... Your choice, you either spin a cylinder or tap and rack a slide, they both work. Micro nines hold more rounds, but those rounds add to the carry weight. Compared to a titanium or other light weight 2" but in .357. Yeah, have shot those, this recoils enough with +P rounds for my poor little trigger finger. I understand the argument that you have the extra power with a .357, if needed, its a choice one makes. For me I choose to use my carry arm regularly at the range with my carry round. A light weight .357 is not pleasurable to practice with, at least not with full power carry ammo. If you like wheel guns, don't count the K6xs out. It is more costly than a Taurus. Not much more expensive than some of the Smitty's I have seen lately. It will do the job. No, it's not a .357 nor does it hold 12+ rounds. None of those seem as important to me as functionality, portability and reliability. This is my personal experience, a revolver like this just naturally points where I want it when drawing concealed. I am usually faster with the first shot and more often right on target with a lightweight revolver than a micro nine. I have practiced this a lot. My old Belgian born instruct would roll over in his grave if he heard that! This is the upgrade I have been looking for. No regrets so far. That about sums it up for now.

Made 8 quarts of Jalapeno, garlic pickles and 4 pints of hot pickled quail eggs. Dilly beans will be next.

A few years ago I decided to get a C&R and initially I regretted it (for I am now on the government's radar) but this last year I have acquired six vintage weapons that I have had shipped to my home. They are: Mk1 No 5 Enfield Jungle Carbine, Savage 1917, Remington model 12 pump, Remington model 121 pump, Broomhandle Mauser and a Remington model 51. Jim

New to this site, heard about it off Reddit, and i just bought my first AR. Glad to be here.

1 factory mag (16+1). This one been with me since 2020. Still in mint, good condition. Shot at least 15x, still a good shooter, Just not my steelo. I rarely pack this one with me. Looking to see who could be interested in this one. As is. Looking for $280. Good price

SOLD

I just got a PM from a member who sent me a Bass Pro Link to a Caldwell rest that lists for $110, it isn't even close to the one I have listed. I'm going to say this just one time, don't PM me a bull crap link showing a different model if you don't like the price I posted that's just to bad. And to @Pirate who sent me the message and put in it FYI, look up the right model jack ass.

If this thing excepted CZ 75 mags, I would buy it in a heartbeat.glws

Thanks a lot! I didn’t know such things existed. I’ll probably go this route.

Forgot to mention about speed loaders: That is an old HKS speedloader which is made for S&W 10,15, 66 etc. This also fits the Taurus 856 The Kimber also comes with its own Bianchi style speed strip, not shown.

No pictures on this end

So C&R is like reloading, you shoot more so no savings?

A C&R does make purchasing milsurps convenient. Precisely because of that, it can easily wind up being the most expensive piece of paper you own ...

We put up 40 qts of sweet corn today, along with 20 ears on the cob. Thankfully my dad came by. I sent him home with a trash bag full. We’ve canned a bunch of green beans, some dill and bread and butter pickles and some relish. Next week we’ll start on the purple hills and maybe tomatoes. Ours has done pretty good this year.

Well guess what, just got one today Mine is the hated and maligned K6xs which has the aluminum frame. It is also 38 spl +P Trigger is subjectively better than the recent K6s da stainless I tried. Might break in to be as smooth as my SW Bodyguard 38. It is much lighter than my Taurus 856 and about the same as SW Bodyguard 38 which is only 5 rounds and has a polymer frame. Front sight is not replaceable but quite nice as is...orange reflective dot These are much overlooked by buyers, partially due to micro 9’s being cheaper and holding more rounds. They work for me due to my classic, and manly, hourglass figure I like it will post a range report on it later.

Both are made from 1095 carbon steel. They come with combo kydex/leather sheath shown. Both have a false edge. Closeout price of $105.00 each. 1. OAL of 9 1/4" with a blade of 4 1/4". Handles are black locust with bloodwood and G10 accents and liners. Brass pins and lanyard tube. 2. OAL of 11" with blade length of 5 1/2". Handles are spalted red oak with bloodwood and G10 accents and liners. Brass pins and lanyard tube. Thanks for lookin!

Why engineers hate program managers with stupid ideas.

My wife and I saw it this afternoon. Very powerful message. The left is really going after this movie. Honestly, after watching, I don't understand why. There was no political message. Nothing against the Left or the Right. It does make a powerful point about child sex trafficking. At the end it posts some sobering facts about how there are more people that are slaves now, than at any other point in human history and that it is estimated that millions are children. How any mainstream political group could be against this, is beyond my comprehension. I agree with @NoBanStan, that here was no Qanan vide to this movie. I do urge everyone to go see it!!!

We are a good bunch, welcome to the site. 1st round on the new guy, make mine a 35 Whelen.

Surgery went well according to surgeon. They let me come home Sunday afternoon. I'm not in a lot of pain accept when I do things I shouldn't but have no energy. Lot of doctor appointments and cardiac PT starting Friday, hope they have answers for how long it takes to get back to normal. Sounds like at least 6-8 weeks.

I would love to see this guy debate Trump. Two dudes just slinging lie after lie and talking over each other. They actually have some similarities with each one loving to make bold claims without any proof. RFK went on Joe Rogan and claimed wi-fi is causing brain cancer. When pressed for details he couldn't provide them. Interesting times we live in. Feels more like Idiocracy every day.
