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.
