Just wondered if anyone has tried one of these? Had a 4" SP101 and i liked it but it had problems and wouldn't shoot cast.
And the Kimber holds 6 rounds too.

Handled one of these at a shop on Saturday but they wanted over $1400 for it.
I have two of the 3” TLE. They are good revolvers. Good trigger pull, six shot, easy to carry. I have always liked S&W k-frames, but one of these gets carried more and more. I shoot mainly wad cutters, but also Keith 173 with no problems.
I just bought one, 3” barrel. There was one NIB on Gunbroker, private seller, it went for $800. I dropped out cuz I was still in the fence. I paid about $950 at Cabelas, then a few fees & tax.
I shot some hand loaded 38 +p, then a cylinder of factory 357 shells. I think I’ll load bottom end 357 loads for general use.
I’m liking it very much, a Desantis holster comes from Midway in a few days. My intended use is some woods carry & possible cool weather CC.
I carry a model 60 in a shoulder rig under a flannel shirt or jacket. I like that round for a carry piece. I ended up getting a 6" 686+ for about $900 all up. Not a carry gun but a great shooter.
I think they’re woefully overpriced!
If they would have been out when I was looking for a carry revolver may have picked that over my 3" Sp101 but I'm vary happy with the Ruger
I have one it very well built and shoots great, the but for me is the fact that i have large hands and the grip is rather small and no after market grips as of yet . It is everything you would expect as far as quality from Kimber
Makes a body consider a 3” Charter Arms Professional don’t it?Quote:

It's the smallest 6 shot 357 Magnum you can buy. Compared to my 2" K frame it looks and feels like a boat anchor. The M10 is 29.6oz and very bulky by comparison.
I bought a used 3" barrel concealed hammer K6S a while back, before price craziness hit. I liked it very well, but it was just a bit too small for my big hands, which love K and L frame guns. I gave it to one daughter when she turned 18.
I have had the Kimber K6s DASA 3" 357 Magnum since Feb. It is a fine quality revolver and one in which I am confident. It carries well and is very concealable for a 6-shot revolver. My hand size is M/L and I get along well with the grip size. That said, I would not want an extended range session with magnums but it certainly is doable when necessary. 38 +P for my street carry and the magnums for woods carry. $1400 is $500 more than I paid for mine.
I have the 4" combat model and it's on par or better than my new model Colt Cobra. I wouldn't pay $1,400 but $919 shown in the GB link is reasonable.
