Right there on the side of it: Yonkers, NY.
I would rather sell STI, a Texas company.
Maybe it a anti-YETI, kinda thing...

From what I'm seeing they pretty much built the perfect pocket revolver, not a sharp angle or anything to grab or get hung up on clothing. Now if they built it with a crappy or heavy trigger they ruined the whole thing.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

It's designed for concealed carry, with pocket carry, even with a holster, a hammer is an impediment. Having a hammer creats an opening for junk to get in. When I carryed every day I often had a snub in my jacket pocket when heavy clothes made getting to the Kahr on my hip difficult. It's a niche gun with features optimized for that niche.

I was just thinking I needed an $850 hammerless pocket .38S that only looks better than a $250 gun....but that Kimber doesn't even look better. Can't see the point spending that much on a belly gun.


Pass the gravy.

SW makes one with a light weight frame. Dad bought one for my mom for Christmas. I hear folks complain about ruger lcp triggers, bit they are far better than any double action hammer less revolver I've shot.

I agree.

I handled several pocket sized revolvers, and shot two different models. The Ruger LCR-357 came home with me primarily because of the trigger. Yeah, it's snappy with 158gr magnums, but it's not designed for pleasure shooting like my larger/heavier guns. My wife is just plain deadly with hers inside of 10-12 yards.

It's a six shot, from what I've read, it's more of a Detective Special sized 357.

...and a .38S too. Not much difference in that size gun. I think the choice between the Kimber and the Ruger is the $400 you'd have left over with the LCR.

I carried snubs a lot there is a lot to be said for six rounds over five. The MSRP of the 357 LCR is $669 vs $899 for the Kimber. I've carried a Detective Special, Taurus 85, and a Chief Special Airweight. For holster use I preferred the Detective Special inside the pocket carry the Airweight. The Speer Gold Dot short barrel loads do give a big edge in performance to the 357.

Ruger sells for way less than MSRP, Kimber won't. I'm sure the faithful with like it. Glad we all have options in life.
