Kimber released their 2019 lineup and additions yesterday right at the end of the day. We put our immediate focus on their new striker pistol called the EVO SP.
Aside from the EVO SP, Kimber released a variety of other additions to their existing lines and we’re digging into the details on those now.
K6S DA/SA
On the K6s line, Kimber released a DA/SA variation. This is something we asked about when Kimber initially released the K6s line.
Like prior K6s models, the DA/SA is chambered in .357 Mag and also fires .38 Special. Shipments are scheduled to begin mid December 2018
There are two barrel lengths offered for the new hammer driven revolver:

3400016 - 669278340166 - K6s® DASA 3in - .357 Mag. - $970
Features include:

Kimber’s announcement description:
WITH THE SMALLEST CYLINDER capable of holding 6 rounds of .357 Magnum (also compatible with .38 Special) offered today, K6sTM compact revolvers are well-suited for backup, concealed carry and home defense. The small frame, 2- and 3-inch barrel and 1.39-inch diameter cylinders are machined from the finest stainless steel for superior integrity, strength and resistance to moisture. The K6s offers important design features, including an advanced double-action trigger with a short, smooth, no-stack trigger that creates confidence while ensuring accuracy. Edges are rounded and blended to prevent hang up when the revolver is removed from concealment. 2019 brings the addition of the first double/single action for the K6s family, the K6s DASA in 2- and 3 inch barrels. For those who require a small package with mild recoil, K6s provides the power needed for concealed carry, home protection and many other applications. Best of all, they offer unequaled Kimber quality, dependability and performance.
