Collection: Kimber K6S Revolver Holsters

Kimber K6S Holster Compatibility Overview

The holsters in this collection are built to fit the Kimber K6S, a compact, six-shot, stainless steel .357 Magnum revolver introduced by Kimber in 2016. 

Before selecting a carry style, understanding the K6S's physical characteristics helps you choose the option that fits your actual carry needs.

Kimber K6S Specs That Affect Holster Fit

The K6S is a double-action revolver built on an all-stainless frame with a faceted cylinder, recessed chambers, and a smooth, dehorned exterior profile. 

Kimber designed it to fit six rounds into a footprint closer to a traditional five-shot compact revolver, and that tight dimensional discipline defines what a properly fitted holster needs to accommodate.

Key specifications relevant to holster selection:

• Caliber: .357 Magnum (also compatible with .38 Special)
• Capacity: 6-round cylinder
• Barrel length: 2 inches (standard compact model)
• Overall length: 6.62 inches (2-inch model)
• Height: approximately 4.46 inches
• Width: approximately 1.39 inches
• Unloaded weight: 23 oz (2-inch model)
• Frame: Stainless steel
• Cylinder: Stainless steel with recessed chambers
• Action: Double-action; DAO and DA/SA configurations exist across variants

Barrel length matters for holster fit. The Cloak Chest Holster in this collection is confirmed for the Kimber K6S with a 2-inch barrel only.  

If your K6S has a longer barrel, do not assume chest holster compatibility without verifying the specific product listing for your configuration.

The K6S has no accessory rail and no optics mounting on standard configurations. Rail-compatible or optic-compatible holster features are not relevant to this revolver.

How to Choose the Right Alien Gear Holster for the Kimber K6S

This collection offers two confirmed carry styles for the K6S. The right choice depends on whether you are carrying daily under clothing or accessing the revolver in a field, outdoor, or pack-based environment.

Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB Holster for Revolvers

The Cloak Tuck 3.0 is the dedicated concealed carry option in this collection and the primary choice for daily carry. It is designed specifically for revolvers, with a Boltaron polymer shell that fits the K6S's cylinder and frame geometry for secure retention and smooth presentation. 

The stainless spring-steel core provides structural rigidity while the CoolVent neoprene backer keeps the holster comfortable against the body during extended wear.

Adjustable ride height and cant let you position the revolver for strong-side, appendix, or other IWB carry positions based on your build and routine. At 23 oz unloaded and 1.39 inches wide, the 2-inch K6S is well suited to IWB carry, and the Cloak Tuck 3.0's flexible holster wings distribute that weight to reduce pressure points across the waistband.

This holster is built for revolvers and is confirmed for the K6S. It is not interchangeable with semi-automatic pistol shells from other holster platforms.

Cloak Chest Holster

The Cloak Chest Holster positions the K6S across the chest using a harness system for hands-free carry during outdoor activities where waistband access is blocked or impractical. It is the right option for hikers, hunters, ATV riders, and outdoor users who carry a pack or outerwear that interferes with belt-mounted carry.

This holster is confirmed for the Kimber K6S with a 2-inch barrel. The K6S's compact dimensions and 23 oz weight make it a manageable chest-carry platform, and the harness distributes that weight across the shoulders rather than concentrating it at the belt. 

The chest position also keeps the revolver accessible above a pack waist belt or under an open jacket without requiring the wearer to reach around gear to draw.

Carry Styles Supported by This Collection

This collection supports two confirmed carry configurations for the Kimber K6S:

• Inside the waistband (IWB) via the Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB Holster for Revolvers
• Chest carry via the Cloak Chest Holster (confirmed for the 2-inch K6S barrel only)

Common Fit or Selection Mistakes to Avoid

Ordering the Chest Holster for a 3-Inch or 4-Inch K6S

The Cloak Chest Holster in this collection is explicitly confirmed for the Kimber K6S with a 2-inch barrel. 

The 3-inch and 4-inch K6S variants are not listed as confirmed fits for this product. If you carry a longer-barrel K6S, do not assume the chest holster will accommodate it. Review the product listing for your specific barrel length before ordering.

Using a Semi-Automatic Holster Shell for the K6S

The Cloak Tuck 3.0 in this collection is a revolver-specific holster. Semi-automatic pistol shells and holster platforms built for autoloaders are not confirmed fits for the K6S. Revolver geometry, including the cylinder width and frame profile, requires a holster designed for that format.

Expecting the Full Range of Semi-Automatic Carry Styles

This is a revolver collection. The K6S does not have the same breadth of confirmed carry options as many semi-automatic pistols in the Alien Gear catalog. 

If you need an OWB paddle, belt, or drop leg option for the K6S specifically, those configurations are not confirmed in this collection and should not be assumed available.

Confusing the K6S With Other Kimber Revolver Variants

The K6S family includes DAO and DA/SA configurations as well as 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch barrel variants. 

Holster compatibility within this collection is confirmed for the standard K6S. Verify your specific variant before selecting a holster, particularly for the chest holster, which lists the 2-inch barrel as the confirmed fit.

When This Collection May Not Be the Right Fit

This collection is specific to the Kimber K6S revolver. It may not be the right starting point if:

• Your K6S has a 3-inch or 4-inch barrel and you need a chest holster, as that configuration is not confirmed in this collection for those barrel lengths
• You need an OWB belt holster, OWB paddle holster, drop leg holster, or appendix carry option for the K6S, as none of those carry styles are confirmed available in this collection for this revolver
• Your firearm is a different Kimber model, including semi-automatic variants, which require their own confirmed holster configurations
• You need a shoulder holster or ankle holster, as neither carry style is available in this collection for the K6S
