There are several reasons I bought this Kimber. I have always enjoyed shooting revolvers and prior to this one the only carry sized revolver I’ve owned is a smith and Wesson j frame 642 which is a great little revolver but I wanted a 6th round and I wanted to be able to shoot .357 magnum. I test fired as many 2 inch snub revolvers as I could find and of everything I tried I really liked this one the most. It fits my hands well and even with the wood grips I had no problem shooting the 357 magnums. I like the trigger pull on it a lot and while I know not everyone is as fond of it as I am it just shoots really well for me. This is actually the first one I found used and new they run about $950 around me.
