From the tease I like some of what I see; dovetail rear sight is neat (why not the front, but pin works and is cheaper).

.38 +p rated would have been fine with me in a short barrel.

7 rds of .327 would have BLOWN my hair back a lot more and been more "revolutionary".

In the in, the trigger I think will be key. IF they have really come up with something nice there (and beat the lawyers to death to leave it that way) then I think it may do well.

I'll agree but the 38/357 is like buying Under Armour vs Wal-mart brand. People want the norm (UA) not to mention a crap ton of people already own a 38/357 so they don't have to change up.

I will agree though a more controllable but still badass round would have been nice.

It's a 10# DAO trigger. Can't see why there would be any lawyering required.

Claims to be Lightest, but won't tell the actual weight.

In before the first recall!

A snubbie .357 Magnum revolver will N-O-T be fun to shoot!! I'll pass!!!
It's certainly not an enjoyable "afternoon at the range" firearm.

Shoot cowboy action rounds out of it for fun, 125gr JHPs for serious business.

23 oz was claimed on the previous page on that site before it went down.

edit: looks like it's back up for me http://beta.kimberamerica.com/handguns/revolver

I think that is the lightest six-shot, all-steel revolver.

I will keep my SP101 but this looks pretty cool.

Actually, it looked more Ruger than anything else.

Me too, but I'd also like to get one of these depending on price (how close it will be to the $899 MSRP). I like the six shots in a snub-nose meant for carry; reminds me of the Detective Special.

Bootknife · Jan 18, 2016

I do love My Ruger SP101 it carries well and a good combination of Ammo with the .38 , .38+P and .357 M if they don't Drop the Threat then I would recommend a Hasty Tactical Retreat while reaching for the Speed Loader!

I finally got to see it. It's identical to the Ruger cylinder release.

So far besides weight I fail to see where kimber "revolutionized" anything with this revolver?

While I love the looks I can't see why this would replace the model 10 snubbie on the nightstand or a colt detective special. Visually she is a beauty though!!!

It's cool looking but I think my SP101 looks better. I am partial to a slightly squared rugged looking barrel.

MSRP $899.00

$449.50 for the revolver.

$449.50 for the Kimber logo.

You!! I'd rather get a 38LCR in 2 inch AND 3 inch

balext · Jan 18, 2016

Looks nice. I want to try one out.

I know how completely not enjoyable it is to shoot the S&W airweight in 357. Just Bleeeeeh.

I can't see spending that munch money on a gun whose main purpose will be "here, let's see if you can shoot this!".

If it's not enjoyable to shoot it serves no practical purpose...
