No new revolvers at SHOT?

[71velle]

I still think the manufactures are missing the boat and mot making a 9mm version. The case length is much shorter so the cylinder could much shorter too. The cylinder is the heaviest and bulkiest part of the revolver. So in 9mm less bulk,and weight also the barrel could be grow the same amount the cylinder shrinks. Win, win, win...

Not to mention 9mm is cheaper and has a better ammo selection. For the recoil sensitive .380 could be used.

Only downer is it would require moonclips.

Someone please make it!!!

OK, I concede, but no Kimber forum for me.

 

[USAF385]

I'd like to try one. If I like it, maybe I'll get one. If I don't, I won't.

As far as appearance, I think they look fine. But I'm sure half of the complaints are just because it's not a S&W.

 

[UncleEd]

Yes, although S&W already seems to have a dazzling array of revolver variety, the company has missed the boat.

It should offer revolvers from .22 LR up to .500 in sixteenth inch
increment barrel lengths up to 12 inches and the front sights should be interchangeable in no less than 14 colors while the rear sights in no less than six varieties.

And in each sixteenth increment, the barrels should be offered in full underlug and no underlug.

Oh, and yes, each model should come with and without the key lock with a third choice of barrel plugs optional.

The new Korth 9mm revolver doesn't require moon clips.

Perfect no downsides!!

Why isnt it made? lol

 

[HEADKNOCKER]

I for sure won't buy one but really like the looks of the rear sight & the way the front is pinned like a 640-1, The cylinder flutes are taken from the Chiappa Rhino, Looks better/stronger than the Ruger LCR, They missed the availability for a front yoke lockup like the Ruger SP101/GP100etc which also came from a modified DW design & went with the standard S&W Design of the ejector rod style..
I like the looks of the full ejector rod shroud but that's more weight.

Wouldn't mind running a few boxes threw one just to see but as others have said with some of the problems Kimber has had lately with quality & turning out SOME 1911s that aren't worth what people have paid, I'll keep my Colt as far as 1911s go even though we know S&W makes some really nice PC 1911s..

The Korth 9mm Sky Marshall's short cylinder is very interesting as well as it's 547 inspired extractor tabs, It needs to be made pretty, lose the accessory rails & be available DAO, These should be in the $900-$1000 area, nowhere like there $3000+ revolvers..

Guess I'm still in the market for a 940..

Cmon S&W step up & make a new revolver 940-3

Need to go out to the Wood Shed & get a snow shovel & a bag of salt..
Stay Safe Out There my Friends!!

I saw a pic of the new Kimber K6S & wondered how much that's gonna cost?
VERY RUGER LIKE!! SP101, But they got most of their designs from Dan Wesson anyhow..

Bet these cost $850-$1200

I've had a Charter Arms Bulldog .44Spl. which, for me, is better...compared with the Kimber.
Just $400 cost. Yes, a tad bigger...but a couple of ounces lighter and spits out the formidable .44 Spl.
I only sold mine because I wanted a smaller "pocket carry"...so I got the S&W 638.
Oh, and the Bulldog had a nice finish, tight lockup and performed perfectly.

 

[ladder13]

Think of it as not quite as goofy looking as a 642. I think we develop an eye for these things as we go along.

Nothing goofy about a 642 imo, and half the price.

Didn't write that it was goofy, but it is an odd looking thing, sort of like a child that only a mother could love. I think one gets used to looking at it eventually. It's a tool but certainly not gun art.

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

There are too many older S&W revolvers that I do not have yet to worry about any new ones. Gives me a chance to catch up a little.

OPINION ONLY!! It's friggin ugly!

People buy ugly. Look at their clothes and cars.

 

[HEADKNOCKER]

If ugly sells the the Korth Sky Marshall will be without a doubt a seller..

Also note that it's speed loader & one for a 547 should be the same..

 

[jtcarm]

No kimber anything for me, just not interested in this stuff.

A new S&W snubbie in 41 special for sure if they offered it. In a nice L frame? Five shot? In nickel?

They should be able to fit 6 in an L-frame. A 10mm/40 taking moons would be even better.
