Key Features
- 4-inch match-grade barrel – Delivers exceptional accuracy at defensive distances, with a longer sight radius for precise shot placement.
- Exposed hammer for single-action operation – Lets you stage the trigger for a lighter, more controlled break when every round counts.
- Six-shot stainless cylinder – Holds one more round than typical J-frame snubbies, giving you a critical capacity edge in a self-defense scenario.
- Diamond-checkered wood grips – Provide a secure, tactile hold even with sweaty hands, reducing muzzle flip and improving follow-up shot speed.
- Brushed and matte stainless finish – Resists corrosion and holster wear, keeping the revolver reliable through daily concealed carry or home defense use.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for the CCW holder who wants the reliability of a wheelgun but demands better accuracy than a 2-inch snub. It also fits home defense buyers who prefer a manual safety-free, intuitive platform. If you train regularly and want a revolver that rewards marksmanship without the bulk of a full-size, the K6S Target is your match.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Match-grade accuracy out of the box; smooth double-action trigger with a crisp single-action option; compact enough for IWB carry yet stable for range work; six-round capacity beats most comparable snubs.
Cons: The brushed barrel and cylinder show holster wear faster than a matte finish, so expect cosmetic scuffs with regular carry.

FAQ
Is the Kimber K6S Target rated for .357 Magnum or just .38 Special?
It’s chambered in .357 Magnum and also accepts .38 Special +P. Per Kimber specs, the stainless steel frame and cylinder handle full-pressure .357 loads without issue.
Can I carry this revolver concealed daily?
Yes. At 29 ounces and with a 4-inch barrel, the K6S Target is lighter than most 4-inch revolvers and fits many IWB holsters designed for K6S models. The compact frame makes it a solid choice for belt carry or shoulder holsters.
Does the exposed hammer snag on clothing during draw?
The hammer is low-profile and slightly recessed. With a proper holster and practice, snagging is minimal. The trade-off is you get single-action capability for precision shots.
What’s the trigger pull weight on this revolver?
Double-action pull is approximately 9-10 lbs, single-action breaks around 3.5-4 lbs (per Kimber specs). Both are smooth with no stacking.
Is the K6S Target compatible with aftermarket grips?
Yes. It uses the same grip frame as other K6S models, so aftermarket options from companies like VZ Grips and Hogue fit directly.
