FTW!  The ultimate snubby.   (Do you have any pics shooting that thing at dusk?) 

 

 

No. I haven't shot this monster in years. Broke my wrist in a bike crash, have now a few Titanium screws in it, and not sure I want to risk getting hurt. If there is ONE handgun capable of breaking a wrist, this is it.

Some day I'll upload some low recoil rounds and go from there.

And some 9mm harassment...

I just looked at a Gunblast article about the 460ES version and it still achieved impressive performance with the Casull loads in the short barrel. I think Linebaugh is on to something with the Taylor K.O. formula. If I had a 500ES I think I'd stick with the lighter bullet loads, definitely not 500+ grains.

But, that doesn't stop me from wanting a Kimber K6s.

 

I have a S&W 642 Airweight which I carried as a BUG on-duty for many years. I love it, but I've also recently had my eyes on a Kimber K6s DC. I'd love to have one of them, install some Black/Blue VZ Grips stipple G10s, and call it a day. To each their own, but I would imagine the black/blue stipple grip combo would look great on the Kimber black DLC finish on the K6s DC.

That would give it a unique, stand-out-of-the-crowd look.

While I think of snubbies as under 3", since we've both mentioned Kimber, I may as well add that I did end up buying the K6S 3" as posted in some other threads. It's nice even if its snubby classification is debatable.

 The 327 is a pretty hot little round,  I have the Ruger LCR in that caliber plus it’s nice having that  sixth round in a J frame size package 

 

And you can reload them to basically .357 Mag level:

 

307719

 

..with an extra round in all Rugers, and you can shoot 4 more calibers out of the same revolver: .32 ACP, .32 S&W Short, .32 S&W Long and .32 H&R Magnum, as you will know.

I have a very slow .32 S&W Long Wadcutter Bullseye handload that is my most accurate combination all around.

Had my eyes on one of these for a very long time.  I reload, so it would be easy to shoot frequently.  

 

For some reason, I can't justify the cost of a 327 LCR.  Paying almost $500 for a plastic revolver just doesn't sit well with me.

Got mine used from a friend for a very good price, he got rid of it cause he hated buying the ammo, me? I reload.

That looks like the hammerless version of the one I own. How well does it carry in that holster? 

That S&W 642 Airweight completely disappears in the IWB holster when I wear it in the appendix carry location using just a simple t-shirt as cover. (HolsterCo kydex holster).
