I have mixed feelings about this gun. I don't think it will replace my S&W 640 (.357 - 5 shots) or my 65 - 3" (.357 - 6 shots).

How is it compared to a ruger cylinder release?Quote:

And, since Kimber has no known experience building revolvers, (At least that I'm aware of) I'd give this a year or so and see what shakes out... I'm not saying it's a bad pistol, I'm just a little wary of anything new put out by a company that never made anything like it before.. Who knows, It may be a damn good snubby right out of the box..
I made the mistake to look at it and now my eyes are bleeding...
It does nothing for me either. I don't like the lines of the gun at all.

Man that thing is ugly.
I wouldn't trust Kimber to make a functional anything. Damn sure not a revolver.
I've had poor experience with Kimber autos in the past, but I'm not pre-judging this gun. I'll be watching it to see what kind of reputation it is gaining among those whose opinions I value about a year or so after it gets into general release.
As I age, I seem to see more and more folks interested in a decent small size medium weight revolver, and all other things being equal, six is better than five.
Agreed it will have to prove itself - but so should any carry pistol. People love to hate Kimber, probably more than is warranted (said as someone who currently owns Kimbers, but has also sold off their fair share of Kimbers.)
Grant Cunningham was supposedly involved in this, so hopefully that pays some dividends if they listened to him.
Interested. Wish it had an external hammer.
