Kimber Revovler

[niceg3s]

Anyone own one of these? Took my wife to look for a carry and this is what she liked. Trying to get some feedback. New model and it seems not many people have shot them.

Interesting. Have a link?

Didn't even know Kimber made a revolver. You have now sparked my curiosity.

Is that like ordering steak from a seafood restaurant?

I had just the opposite thought when I read the Kimber information from their website on their new revolver. It started out by saying on the headlines, "Kimber has evolved the revolver".

I thought, great, they have taken a design which has worked almost flawlessly for 180 years and ruined it.

cant beat Colt's Pythons imho

So no, none of you have shot one.

So no, none of you have shot one.

Does she want one for shooting/fun or a carry/primary defense??

I really like the S&W 442 & 642 for a carry revolver...wife loves hers.


What people are getting at is they are new to the game & why go down that road when you have other companies like Smith who already got a handle on it...likely nobody has shot one being too new & you cannot trust any of the gun rags to put out an honest review. I quit buying gun magazines decades ago. Got tiresome of all the reviews being excellent simply to satisfy the folks they rely on for advertising.

Also, Kimber has been on a slow downside for quite sometime...imo.

With ya on the s&w 642

[trophy8]

No I haven't. My wife also carries a smith 642. As does my mom and mother in law. Go with something proven.

Was playing with one Friday evening at a Friends of the NRA dinner. It was a prize. The gun seemed well balanced. Couldn't work action, it was zip tied safe. I expect it to be smooth as it is a Kimber. Finish was perfect.
