Overview

The Kimber K6s DASA 3-inch is a compact six-shot .357 Magnum revolver built on Kimber's stainless-steel K6s platform. Introduced as an exposed-hammer double-action/single-action version of the original 2016 concealed-hammer K6s, the 3-inch model pairs a longer barrel and full sight radius with a smooth non-stacking trigger, white 3-dot sights, and diamond-checkered walnut grips, aimed at concealed carry, home defense, and range use.

Country of origin: United States

Notes

The DASA (Double Action / Single Action) variant adds an exposed hammer to the original double-action-only K6s, allowing a light single-action pull for deliberate shots. The 3-inch barrel version extends the sight radius over the more common 2-inch carry model.

Background

The K6s was Kimber's first revolver and its first all-new handgun platform since the company's founding, marketed as one of the smallest production six-shot .357 Magnum revolvers when it debuted in 2016.
