Kimber

About

Kimber is an American designer and manufacturer of handguns and rifles who are especially known for their M1911-style pistols. The company was originally founded in 1979 as "Kimber of Oregon" by Australian immigrant Jack Warne and his son Greg Warne. The company originally specialized in manufacturing .22 caliber rifles. In 1989, the company began to flounder and its assets were liquidated. In the mid-1990s, Greg Warne resurrected the Kimber brand as Kimber of America, with financial backing by Les Edelman, owner of Nationwide Sports Distributors, who later forced Warne out of the company. Kimber's facilities were later moved to Yonkers, New York to take advantage of the manufacturing capabilities of Jerico Precision Manufacturing, a tool manufacturer and another of Edelman's investments.
