I’ve always loved small-frame revolvers, and I’ve always been a fan of Kimber firearms; add the two together and I hear the wedding march. Kimber’s DASA made a dashing debut into the wheel-gun market not long ago, and this year, the company has made another great move by adding double-action/single-action capabilities in its new K6s DASA.

A simple exposed hammer spur did the trick on the K6s DACA, leaving the smooth double-action pull and adding crisp single-action to the toolset. Available in 2-inch and 3-inch (my favorite) barrel models and chambered in .357 Mag., this little walnut-gripped stainless six-shooter is perfect for backcountry carry and protection.

The 3-inch barrel model weighs 25.1 ounces and has an overall length of 7.62 inches, while the 2-inch barrel model weighs 23 ounces and has an overall length of 6.62 inches.

The K6s DASA has an MSRP of $949. For more information, visit kimberamerica.com.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
