Mini J-Frame PPC Revolver

By Roy Huntington

What happens when Roy Huntington turns a smaller J-Frame S&W into a miniature PPC revolver?

The K6xs™ is an extra small, ultra-lightweight .38 Special revolver with all the features of its larger framed sibling the K6s™. The K6xs™ uses the same lightweight, non-stacking trigger system from the K6s™. Also features a fluted glass-bead finish cylinder and barrel slot cut to further lighten the K6xs™ for the perfect carry weight. The big news for Kimber’s K6s™ line is the addition of the K6xs™. Not only is it the lightest K6s ever, it offers something others in its category don’t: six-round capacity.

He spent his lifetime as a cowboy, forest ranger and outdoorsman. His firearms of choice, of course, were a Winchester lever-action rifle and a Colt Single Action. I was well acquainted with the Colt Single Action, however, Rodgers’ Colt Single Action was a little different. I had never noticed it before the magazine articles, but as I watched old Westerns a little more carefully, his

Colt of choice was seen, but infrequently. Rodgers’ strange-looking sixgun was a

Colt Bisley Model.

Going out of sheer boredom, I didn't expect to find anything of interest, let alone buy anything. That was until I saw a used .357 Magnum Ruger Security Six. My wife said the magic words — "Just get it." And I did.

Thumb Bustin' Musings From The Duke

A complete collection of “Duke” Venturino’s Shooting Iron column originally published in

In life, Duke was the same as he was in print — honest, capable, a friend to all, decent, quick to shake a hand — and even faster to grin at you. You always felt better after being with Mike.

Enjoy this collection and think about the kind man who wrote it all.
