If the savings results in a reasonably priced 1911 that'll work I can guarantee the wiregrass will be covered up with them. You think Kimber is going to lower prices just because their costs are lower? ROTFLAO

Kimber sounds like a chick name anyway. To that end, my best friend's sister brought one in 380 to our place up in PA to practice, three years in a row and it jammed every single time.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Lower cost of living. Lower taxes. No Yankees.
I can honestly say I have never in my lifetime heard anyone ever say "Damn Honey lets move to Alabama" it will be great !  Thousands of Texans moved here after the spill. They came over to work the spill, took a good look around and never left. Then they started telling former neighbors and friends who are still joining them. Those Kimber folks will discover the coast as well. With what amounts to a daily commute in NY, they can be on the Florida or Alabama coast. Yeah, but not this week....  DF

Before some of you Yankies make fun of Alabama. Here are some facts. Huntsville has two rocket engine manufacturing companies. Decatur has Atlas V and Delta IV rocket manufacturing. Birmingham still makes steel pipe for natural gas pipelines and ductile iron pipe for water mains. Mercedes, Hundai, and Honda makes cars in Alabama. Then there are 100's of car parts suppliers manufacturers scattered around. There are three tire manufacturers in Alabama. Stainless steel plate is made in a little town north of Mobile that is used to build SpaceX's moon and Mars rocket at Boca Chica, Texas. The Air Force's tanker planes are made in Mobile as well as ship manufacturing in Mobile. Ceramic parts for jet engines are made in Alabama. There are also several paper mills making toilet paper, paper towels, and paper plates and cups.
Alabama's cost of living is the 4th or 5th lowest in the nation. Two people making minimum wage in a household can afford to buy a lower middle class home.
Now, yes Alabama has a lot of rural poor pockets still remaining, and about 1/3 of the state is minorities that have a tendency to be perpetual poor and uneducated. Alabama does have voter photo ID requirements, but the ID's are drivers license or a free non-driver photo ID at the drivers license office so that solves the "poor can't afford ID crap". Also, if you are on welfare in Alabama, you have to either actively seek a job or get free technical school training for 2 years. Can't be on welfare but 2 years unless you are mentally or physically disabled. If you drop out of high school before you are 18, you loose your drivers license. So the graduation rate drastically improved after this law was passed. Now it is in the middle of the country in high school graduation rates.
Alabama has a fairly strong agriculture business with not only cotton, but soybeans, peanuts, peaches, pecans, cattle and chickens. The timber industry is very strong in Alabama. Southern pine for lumber as well as feeding the paper mills. Coal and limestone as well as marble are mined in Alabama. Iron not so much anymore. Still there but not as productive.
Alabama is not the same state if was in the 1950's or 60's. It is hard to live down. Oh, Alabama is the most unionized state in the south. It is on par with Indiana as far as union workers. Mostly steel and utility workers as well as dock workers.

There's still some serious discussion going on about whether or not it was a mistake to close the damyankee hunting season in 1865!

With what amounts to a daily commute in NY, they can be on the Florida or Alabama coast. jimy must not pay much attention, there are a whole lot more New Yorkers moving to Alabama than there are Alabamians moving to New York. The bigger problem is keeping them from bringing their voting habits with them. I wouldn't worry about finding skilled workers who are familiar with firearms. The average New Yorker would scream and run away if you sat a 1911 on the table in front of them, most of the locals around Troy could put on a blindfold then strip it and reassemble it. 2.5 hours from Troy they can be sipping bushwackers on the best beaches in the world, there's nothing within 1000 miles of Yonkers that compares to them. Unfortunately it seems like half of New England lives along the FL panhandle coast already, you hear more New York and Boston accents along Hwy 30A than locals.

This move happen quite awhile ago, my Kimber Classic is barrel stamped Troy AL Think I've had it for over a year. I had a problem with the safety and called them about it. They emailed me a prepaid shipping label to Troy and had it back to me in 10 days including shipping time. Best CS I've ever had!

When Weatherby moved to Wyoming from Kommiefornia, the lost 80% of their work force and they paid a price quality-wise with new rifles coming out of Wyoming. I think they've got that ironed out, bit lots of complaints out there with QA issues with new rifles. Show me...I haven't seen any outrageous QA issues on the Weatherby Nation forums. But, if there is an issue Weatherby has a reputation of making it right. I don't have a kimber but have been eyeing their revolvers.

I’d have to look into politics of the different states. Word on the street here is that Kimber suffered a two month shut down during Covid. Maybe bullschitt shutdowns of the likes a factor. Among other tax related obstacles. Either way a win win to me. Cleaning out the closet.”
