I wouldn't blame you. I have its 4" blue brother.

Nice gun, Walkalong. I was always surprised Taurus did not sell more of them, but I tend to like oddball things. You should see the prices people get for the S&W equivalent (the Model 631, IIRC) on GunBroker!
 
I think the Kimel's were assembled in the USA from parts mainly made in Germany to get around the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the rising value of the Deutschmark. They probably had to make, or finish up, parts of it here to qualify it as "Made in USA" instead of '"Imported from West Germany".

(I remember reading, about 20 or 30 years ago, that Stanley screwdrivers marked "Made in USA" were actually made in Taiwan except for heat treating and final polishing, or something like that. Stanley wanted to do the heat treating in Taiwan, IIRC, and still mark them made in USA. They were fighting with some US government regulatory agency about it. Or is this an urban legend?)

It's amazing what some companies will do. Harley is manufacturing their "street" line in India, assembling it here, and calling it "made in USA".

How are they getting away with this?

A less than 5 minute search on the interwebs finds that the Harley's made in Bawal, India are for India, Italy, Spain, and Portugal.
