Kimber builds the world's finest 1911 pistols right here in America-something that makes sense, as few things are as American as a 1911 .45 ACP. Virtually every critical component of every pistol is manufactured inside the Kimber factory. The finest raw materials come through the front gate and Kimber does the rest, the only way to ensure that every part meets unequaled standards. Quality is the true measure of value. On the strength of quality, Kimber has become the world's largest producer of 1911 pistols. Compare a Kimber with any other brand of 1911 or any other type of semi-automatic pistol and see for yourself why Kimber is what all guns should be.
