Knowledgeable shooters prefer Ruger to Kimber, 99 to 1.
I’m too biased, (3) SP101’s.
My favorite is a special edition (Wylie Clapp?) with basically Novak semi-auto sights, and a “flat top” in .357.

I sometimes carry the Smith 340pd. At 11.8oz .357 mag rounds
can be painful! I know this is a different class of revolver than you are talking about, but is much more concealable.
I can show you the blood blisters on the web of the gunhand.
Looks like the 101 . . .
. . . is "skinnier" than the K6s, if a little heavier.
