I see this is an old thread but thought I would commit on it. Kimber is sold through a few wholesalers. MGE, Orian, and shooing sport wholesale. I do have a FFL and operate from my home. This whole industry is a joke. As a dealer its very hard to make a fair profit from the sales from firearms. This industry should be no different than any other all items should be sold at msrp. The sale should be made based on the salesman being able provide good service. This crap selling at cost or a $1 over cost does nothing for this industry and shame on the gun manufactures for allowing this to go on. If there is a $300 difference one needs to look at everything. No mom and pop operation is making millions. Most are just trying to staying a float.
