Kimber’s new headquarters is situated on 80+ acres with more than 225,000 square-feet of space and is now home to industry-leading design engineering, product management and manufacturing capabilities.

Welcome to Alabama!

Good for them.

It's about damn time, there needs to be a mass exodus. I always thought it looked stupid to have the name "Yonkers" on such a fine pistol.

I hope they can get back some market share.  I had one of their Oregon made 1911s that was amazing.

I hope they have better time finding employees than Rem... The guys I talked to were not impressed w/ the work ethic in the South. People were calling in to go fishing... FNY & FUAC!

Built by rednecks for the upper class shooter.

I kinda feel like this is the problem with all big corporate. The ones that keep the factory running are in very little consideration at any time in the planning. Everyone else is important though and we need to tailor everything to them. Those floor workers are replaceable and easily found, but we can't find any good workers.

Good luck, Last I heard they pissed off enough people in town and the surrounding area that no-one wants to work there. Upper management doesn't care about the hourly workers. They can go flip burgers somewhere else is a common derogatory statement. I see their fate as similar to Remington in the next year or so due to poor management.

Sweet music!

All I know is I can't adjust the fucking rear sight on my K6S.  And yes, it is an "adjustable rear sight" but the fucking thing won't budge.

The people of NY needs to VOTE the trash out , everyone should flee !!!! look at what they do .

Why can't we get gun makers to Indiana? WTH?
