NEW KIMBER lineup for 2020: Kimber MICRO 9 OPTIONS
Kimber has announced three new offerings for the Micro 9 line, the Amethyst (previously available for the Micro in .380), Collector’s Edition Raptor, and Triari.
All Micro frames are shaped from the finest aluminum for integrity and strength. In many respects a miniature 1911, among the most important Micro 9 design advantages is a single action trigger with the kind of short, smooth pull that ensures accuracy and builds confidence. The thumb safety, slide release and magazine release are pure 1911 as well. Standard features include a lowered and flared ejection port for flawless ejection and a beveled magazine well for fast, positive loading. Sights are steel – not plastic – and mounted in machined dovetails for additional integrity. Each Micro 9 includes en extended 7-round magazine.

NEW KIMBER lineup 2020: Kimber K6S DASA REVOLVERS
Kimber announced two new 4 inch models of the K6s DASA revolvers for 2020, the Target and the Combat. The main difference between the two models are in the grips and sights. The Target model features a fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight and an extended wooden grip. The Combat model features a 3-dot sight system and an extended wooden grip with pronounced finger grooves. Both models have an MSRP of $989.00.
The K6s (DASA) is next evolution of the Kimber revolver product line that takes the acclaimed K6s system and outfits it with a double and single action trigger mechanism. The platform maintains the benefits of the original K6s such as the outstanding double action trigger pull, compact envelope, and six shot capacity but with the added advantage of a single action trigger.

The K6s DASA (Texas Edition) is an excellent example of a collector edition piece. This revolver features our timeless smooth satin finish with vintage American Western scroll work.
