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.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness. You’ll likely hike for hours, oftentimes at high elevation, and many of trails you’ll follow are filled with deadfall and uneven rocks. If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.
