The Kimber revolver looked good in all the pictures, and sounded good from the little bit I read. IIRC it's the same size a a J-frame with an extra round, but I could be wrong about that. I'd be more likely to buy a 4.2" stainless GP100, or that's what I thought when I could still afford to buy ammo. I probably wouldn't use a revolver for concealed carry and the GP100 could handle all the rounds I'd put through it for the rest of my life, no problem. I'm more the "Hey, did you see this?" guy, and not the, "I've got to have this." guy. I did carry my Dan Wesson concealed while hunting when I was granted a permit to carry concealed while hunting only. Now "anyone" can get a permit but, Michigan is the 4th most expensive state to get and maintain a permit in. And if you carry without a permit it's a 5-year felony offense. You can get less time for murdering someone than you can for carrying without a permit. Either way it costs too much.
