Kimber K6s DCR

Also known as: K6s DCR, K6s Deluxe Carry Revolver
Overview
The Kimber K6s DCR (Deluxe Carry Revolver) is a compact double-action-only revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, manufactured by Kimber Manufacturing. A dressed-up member of Kimber's K6s family, it pairs a snub-nosed 2-inch barrel with a six-round cylinder, one more round than most competing small-frame revolvers of similar size. The double-action-only mechanism runs through a smooth match-grade trigger and hides its hammer within the frame, eliminating snag points for concealed carry while the transfer-bar safety keeps the revolver drop-safe. The all stainless steel frame carries a satin silver finish and deeply checkered laminated rosewood grips, while a bright fiber-optic front sight paired with a serrated, drift-adjustable rear sight speeds target acquisition. Rated for full-power .357 Magnum loads yet compact enough for pocket or belt carry, the K6s DCR is intended as a premium everyday-carry and backup revolver for civilian defensive use.

Background
Kimber built its name on refined 1911 pistols before entering the revolver market with the K6s in 2016; the DCR trim arrived in 2018 as a deluxe carry configuration, wrapping a six-shot .357 snub in satin stainless and figured wood for shooters who wanted a premium pocket wheelgun.
