I have mine on as I write this reply. For the individual that has always wanted Colt to reissue their LW Cobra, take heart my fellow revolver geek!
My K6xs shoots about 2" high at 15yds; but dead on for windage with the Federal 120gr Punch 38+P round. Six shots, better trigger than the old Cobra, better sights and better grip. 17 ounces fully loaded. Carries very nicely in my old Colt DS leather. This Kimber also uses the HKS DS Speedloader. Price OTD $579.00
As a Fudd gun* it is the perfect carry for them and I are one of them.

450-500 is what I see them going for around here. And that's not often, they are handy and people hang onto them. I have one and it outshoots my K9. And my K9 is a shooter.

Two new purchases: Smith and Wesson FPC. 9mm folding pistol carbine with 53 rounds on board and a Holoson 551 for a sight. 9mm EZ Smith and Wesson that is dead nuts on with 115, 124 +P. The folding carbine in with the luggage on road trips, and the 9 shot 9mm that my wife can rack and use. The carbine is very accurate for what it is 3" fifty yards with me shooting and the Holosun takes care of the night sight. My wife likes the FPC. It is the IMPROVED Sub 2000.
We who are married should train as a team.

Power Pistol 8.0 grains and a 240-250 SWC at 960fps and 17 K pressure. Superb accuracy. This is the best 44 Spl I have ever found. Courtesy of Brian Pearce and Handloader magazine.

They look like a lot of fun. And a great trail gun.

Like everything but the rail. The "rail" seems to have taken on the old "squared trigger guard" appelation that occurred with Smith and Wesson in their 3rd generation autos. Don't like them on a cconcealed carry rig.

Antler is a lot tougher than wood.

Not to be Debbie Downer here, but, The New CZ Colt company is building a 4" 22 stainless Diamondback sized revolver for a lot less money. They look real nice.

I was lucky enough to start shooting Smith and Wessons in 1965 and the caliber was 38 Special. While shooting an accurate gun is always fun (Model 15) I felt the cartridge was underwhelming. I traded up to a 4" 19 then a 6" 19 and a hundred more 357s after that.
Close to a half a century later I'm loving my snubnose six shot 38 Specials. A Taurus 856 UL 2" or a Kimber K6xs 2" both weighing at a 17+ ounces loaded and packing some Federal 120+P Punch 38s I am confident in the hardware to be up to the task at hand if it is Self Defense against humans or vicious heavily muscled dogs that are running wild.
The weak link is the "fuzz" behind the sights. Too much time is spent on "hardware issues". More time is needed on realistic training, not just shooting. An easy warm up drill is called the 5 drill. 5 yards, 5 rounds, 5 seconds from the low ready. FBI coke bottle target is a good one to use. As your 5 shots in less than 5 seconds grow smaller and your time gets closer to 4 seconds then start from the leather; if you feel confident. Finger out of the trigger guard until the weapon is in front of you and you're coming on target. I bring the gun up to eye level and use the sights.
The 38 Special will challenge you if you want to develop the discipline to "shoot like your life depended on it."

XS also makes a standard "dot" front night sight. The big dot isn't a larger tritium vial just a larger white painted ring around it. The standard XS dot will fit in your sight groove in the rear of the frame better. The Big Dot will not. Pistol-Forum.com in the revolver section has a thread running on J frame and LCR replacement front sights. They have a 150 page thread over there on LCRs. Might be worth a look. Here's another that is apropos to your question: pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?58233-LCR22-amp-LCR38-custom-sights

Aciera: what company is making what for Kimber? The sight or the gun? Don't understand your comment. Thanks.

I purchased a new K6xs 3 weeks ago. I purchased it because I own a K6s 2" and I wanted a lighter version. A pocket version. Well loaded with six Federal 120 grain Federal Punch38+Ps, it weighs a tad over 17ozs. Shoots to poa with the Federal Punch load. Action was a bit rough when I purchased it. Rough as defined by my K6s that has had a thousand rounds of 38 and 357 run through it. After 200 rds of 38 and +P 38 the action is smooth and very easy to shoot good groups. A 12 yd, rapid fire 5 shot group goes into 2.76" and to POA. The XS uses my K6 leather.I use the HKS DS (Colt Dick Special) speedloader. I'm a happy camper.
It has the rubber Hogue Bantam grip and it is the most comfortable lightweight 38 I've ever shot. Only negative is the front sight. I wish Kimber would have made it a pin in front or better yet a Novak type dovetail night sight.
Gun now has 300 trouble free rounds fired through it and it has become my "goto" "take with me" "all the time" revolver.
