Wow that's steep. If Colt can bring their 6 shot snub in at $600 and have it be functional they're going to really squeeze them.

My standard response when I see a Kimber at a gun counter/online gun store:
"Hmm, I know their rep isn't great, but that's pretty sexy, maybe worth the gamble for a fun gun..."
*glances at price: one human child*
"HAH!"

I really want it to be a good, dependable gun. But I just can't roll the dice at this point.

That may be the best inside joke in John Wick 2... Kimber: sleazy, charismatic dealer hyping the gun; horrific, eyeball popping price for what you get...
What am I seeing wrong??? That thing is big and heavy enough to equal a Commander-size, with less burrets.
Guess I'll just keep dealing with small J frames, thank you.

Thanks for the reminder on their business practices. Nope. Do not want.

Nothing, as far as I can tell. I'm holding out hope that Colt makes their .38 six gun with an alloy frame. If they don't, it's Airweights Forever.

When I first read your post, I knew I'd seen it for less, but the only site I could find just now was CDNN - where it's $829. Still, $81 is $81.

Stephanie, I was at a local FFL today whose regular price for the stainless model is $779. His "allotment," (according to the owner, that is based on how much he bought from Kimber last year) was three - all of which he sold very quickly. He added he hasn't had any feedback to date. Like many newer FFL'S, his customer base is younger and as a result, mostly semi-auto buyers rather than wheel guns.
