Is Kimber K6S the best revolver for under $1500?

In the Western Series, Hell on Wheels, the gunman teaching his friend to shoot, said, just make sure that you are the last one with a round to shoot!LOL
 
I also purchased a Kimber K6s and never warmed to it, so sold it.
I still wanted a 6-shot cylinder and went with the new model Colt King Cobra. My aging eyes had issues with the brass/gold bead front sight on the King Cobra, so easily swapped it out for a fiber optic.
Great revolver and has the sweetest DA/SA trigger...
 
4 years ago I chronographed the 2in, 3in and 4in here with fully loaded 357 Magnum. You may want to take a look at how the 2in handles with full loads.

With 38special+p Federal carry loads it is my go to, so yeas I still have mine practice with it and carry it thought because of my large hands I put some different grips on it

As you can see I have touched and drooled over the Kimber K6s for a long time so I may be biased LOL. I love it so much I asked myself is it time to sell all J-Frames back in the day. I also probably went over board with J Frame to K6s comparison lol more than any other I have seen. Here is a whole mini series

Yup, that's a handful. If I can't shoot a handgun/loading combination without having to adjust my grip after every shot, I don't consider it suitable for self-defense.
 
I have a 3" K6S DASA, a s&w mdl 620 and a few 380 semi autos. They all have their purpose, and I like them all. I will say the triggers between the Kimber and the S&W are similar enough for there to be no difference, in my opinion.
Now, I also have a 625-6 I've not shot yet, but the trigger feels like it's going to be far and away better than either of the other two.
So best? Who knows. Many narrow minded folks will say this or that is the best. Shoot it, make it yours. If it doesn't work out, try something else.
