Well the Kimber revolver arrived today and we went right to the range to see what this thing is made of. Gun is extremely well fitted and finished. Its a sturdy, compact little thing. Here is a size comparison with my S&W 649 .357.
The Kimber is a little heavier than the S&W. The Kimber has excellent sights adjustable for windage. Sights are far better than my Smith's. Sights are well regulated and shot to point of aim at 50 feet. The trigger is also head and shoulders above my S&W. Lighter, smoother, and not quite as long of a pull. The cylinder's chambers are counterbored, which is a classy touch.
We put a box of Winchester 130 grain FMC .38 specials though the Kimber and 3 cylinderfulls of Winchester 110 grain .357 hollowpoints. No problems with any of them and the rubber grips make it comfortable to shoot even with the magnum loads.
This is a quality revolver that I like a lot. So far, I'm happy I sprang for one.
