Both adjustable (“target”) and fixed (“combat”) sight versions. The fixed sight combat may well be the best looking of the Kimber revolvers thus far, if nothing else.

They really should have done a full length ejector rod.

I took a screen shot of the specifications:
My first question is the desirability of a 25.5 oz target revolver. A lightweight 4" gun might have been nice back in the day of cops carrying service revolvers, but for now? What's the market for a lightweight target gun?
It could be just me, but I find shooting .357s out of a pre-bad stuff Model 66 to be bordering on uncomfortable. Shooting them out of gun that's half-a-pound or more lighter... nah.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
I find a 32 oz K frame to be noticeably faster to draw and transition with compared to a 50 oz N frame. A 26 oz revolver with IDPA puffball loads (105 PF) is no big deal in terms of recoil.Originally Posted by Stephanie B
I don't disagree, but target shooting isn't done with magnums.

Yabbut they chambered it in .357. I was thinking of those who want to shoot in the major category.

On their website for these models they have a caliber drop down menu that only displays .357. So why the drop down? I wonder if they plan to add calibers to it? Like 9mm.

I have one of the 3” DAOs, and I’m still impressed with it. Shooting magnums is an experience, but very doable. My only complaint with the gun is that they kept the short ejector rod with the longer barrel, and I see they’re continuing the mistake here.
The first handgun I fell in love with was a 4” Diamondback in an Ely, MN hardware store ca. 1974. This new 4” pulls a lot of those same strings. But, I’d probably do better to look for that DB or one of the next to last model 4” Police Positive Specials (the one with the partially shrouded ejector rod) if I wanted a lightweight 4” .38.

A 9mm K6 with a 547-style extraction system? Take my money!

Okay, that thing looks very sharp. Way less awkward than the DAO 3.” That might be an strong option for people with shorter fingers that want a IDPA competition revolver or a mid-size .357 for hiking.

Well, you may be a man. You may be a leprechaun. Only one thing’s for sure… you’re in the wrong basement.
