Kimber Mfg., Inc., is an American company that designs and manufactures premium firearms for sporting, law enforcement and military markets. Kimber also distributes accessories and Less-Lethal self defense products. Kimber was founded with the singular purpose of building fine sporting firearms, better even than classics from the golden age of American gunmaking. Modern manufacturing techniques would be embraced and used to advantage, but assembly, fit and finish could only depend on practiced hands. There would be no compromise in features, materials or performance.
