6 inch K-frame?
I'd like to purchase a new K frame with a six inch barrel. Do you think S&W will offer any of the new K frames with a six inch barrel, classic 19, 66... I'd settle for a model 67 with a six inch barrel.

Oh man, why wait when there’s a ton of old ones out there?
Here’s just a couple of mine (I love em and have a bunch  ) - an M14-3 (1974) and a 48-4 (1982).

I don't believe S&W ever put 6 inch barrels on the Model 67. The obvious choice would be a Model 14 or Model 19. You could get a Model 66 in you want stainless.

Kalamazzokid those are beautiful. I've been looking around used but I wish S&W would offer a new 19 or 66 with a six inch barrel.

Why? The old guns are better.

OP didn't say he required 357, so yeah...a 6" 19, 14, 17 or even a US Army 1899. so .22, 38 Spl, 357 Mag....what you want....it's out there.
All but the 1899 are around $600 to $700 here, with Model 14 around $500 (I think due to a seemingly big "local" supply of Colt OMM's lately).
Anyway....all mine no box or docs, tools but all in the 95-98 % gun only and all very sweet shooters (sold the 19 6" nickel 2 years back)
So if you got to have box and docs and don't mind MIM and Hilary Hole then buy new.....but no comparison in my book (or Safe  )

The only Smith and Wesson K-frames currently being offered with 6" barrels are the Models 17 and 617
I doubt that we will see the return of a 6" Model 19 or 66. There are L and N frame revolvers that are already in that market. The lighter weight of the K-frame does not have too much of an advantage there like it would for concealed carry

Sorry, I just cannot imagine buying a new revolver over some of the pristine old ones that are available. Place an ad in the ' Want to Buy'(WTB) section, state what you want and be specific in what you want. You can buy anything here from beat up to NIB. Resale and quality will be better. Just my .02

Something to consider when looking at 6" M19's and M66's is the front sight. They both originally came with sights that were integral with the barrel. Some people (myself included) have problems focusing properly on a ramp sight. In the 6" version the M19's came with a Patridge front sight which can be easier for some to focus on.
