For a company so small, Kimber Manufacturing has made a big impact on the shooting community. The American-based company has been operating since the late-70’s – a mere newcomer compared to the perennial favorites like Colt (1836), and Remington (1816). Nevertheless, Kimber has already established itself as a premier company in the defense industry.

Since Barack Obama first took office, the number of concealed handgun permits has soared over 200%, with now over 15 million Americans carrying. People are buying guns at an increasing rate, and the gun companies have been capitalizing on this by delivering better products each year. As a result, once-small companies, like Kimber Mfg., have begun to expand their enterprises. Because of their high demand, gun makers around the world have been striving to design the best CCW (concealed carry weapon), and there are a lot of great ones out there. Kimber’s K6s is a prime example of what a business can accomplish when supply and demand increase.
