My all time favorite snub is the 2” model 15. I run one well enough that the rangemaster at my office has commented that I should carry one on duty (half joking).
I actually shoot my .357 LCR almost as well as that 15. I have never fired .357s out of it and don’t really plan on it. I carry Speer 135gr Gold Dots and usually run WWB 130gr FMJ for practice. I find it to be a pretty soft shooting combination.
Shot the K6s again over the weekend, Mostly 15 yds + and I was shooting nothing but Magnums through the gun, the load duplicates the Speer Short Barrel Magnum load. Fired 30 rounds in 15 degree weather and the gun functioned without a hangup. I froze out!
Two things that requires me to rethink what this gun is for. The action is so smooth that you want to shoot it like an old PPC gun. The sights (I have the 3 dot) are for close up. fast DA work. The action complements the sights. The rounds go where the sights are looking. 357s are going to require a bigger, better grip i.e... Wood Altamonts Altai?!
The more I handle this revolver the more I appreciate the "melt" job and the ease of carry and how easy it is to shoot. 25 yd bullseye work would require a different set of sights but mechanically this gun could do it. More to follow. I'm coming under the impression that I obtained a "custom" snubnose 357 for less than $700, and no wait time.

Not that I'm even remotely interested in the K6, but... are there any good AIWB holsters out there yet for it?
My other reply disappeared so the short version: Straight draw IWB Don Hume H715 MSO NO. 52-2 1/4. Built for a SP 101.

Bill the sights are "solid", easy to pick up and great for fast shooting. Not a bullseye sight for sure, but they can clang the metal on a steel rack. I've missed a few times with it but it's been operator error. Trying to push too fast. Excellent carry revolver, melted and runs like a tuned V6!
