Kimber is the latest company to introduce a new micro-compact for everyday carry. (Photo: Kimber)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kimber America, a company famous for its wide range of compact single-stack pistols and double-action revolvers designed for backup and concealed carry, is proud to introduce the new R7 Mako. The R7 Mako is a micro-compact<\/a>, part of a new class of small, higher-capacity pistols for personal protection and everyday carry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a slender, lightweight, polymer-framed, striker-fired double-stack magazine-fed concealed-carry pistol, chambered for 9mm Luger, with an 11+1-round capacity with flush mags and 13+1 with extended mags. All of that in a package nearly the same size as Kimber’s smaller single-stacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new category of pistols is quickly becoming the hottest segment with new and experienced shooters alike. A lot of people find these little handguns are easier to shoot than thin single-stacks and stubby sub-compacts, without compromising on capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The R7 Mako has a very good set of features that set it apart from the growing number of micro-compacts today. It’s an optics-ready pistol, machined to accept smaller micro-size mini red dot sights, and Kimber offers it with or without a Crimson Trace CTS-1500 optic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One standout feature of the R7 Mako is that the slide has a full-length topstrap. While it still uses a Browning-style tilting barrel short-recoil operation, the ejection port is only open to the right side of the slide and the barrel locks into the slide with a single locking lug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps the R7 in a couple of ways. Combined with the internal extractor it gives the slide a very smooth, snag-free “melted” profile. Secondly, it raises the sights relative to the slide internals, which allows standard-height iron sights to co-witness with red dot sights without resorting to use suppressor-height sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another benefit is that the right-side ejection port helps to keep more of the gas venting away from any optics, which can sometimes become clouded or tinted at higher round counts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In both configurations, the R7 Mako comes with factory-installed TruGlo Tritium Pro U-notch night sights with an orange ring front sight and a rear combat-style sight with white rings. The Mako is cut to use Glock-pattern sights for a huge range of alternative and replacement iron sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole pistol is designed to be as snag-free as possible without sacrificing features. The frame does use a proprietary rail for lights and other accessories but Kimber is very good at securing partners for aftermarket accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The R7 Mako is fully ambidextrous, with left- and right-side slide release levers and magazine release buttons. These controls are all recessed to prevent any unintentional activation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pistol comes with what Kimber calls their Performance Carry Trigger. Like a lot of recently introduced pistols, it’s a flat-faced single-action trigger with a passive blade-style safety. The trigger is designed to have a level take-up and clean break at around 5 pounds thanks to its aluminum construction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall the R7 Mako weighs just under 20 ounces unloaded. The stainless steel slide and 3.4-inch barrel have a ferritic nitrocarburized finish, and the whole thing measures in at 4.3 inches tall, 6.2 inches long, and just an inch wide at the widest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suggested retail price for the base model is $599, while the Crimson Trace version runs $799, which is on par with other higher-end micro-compacts. Kimber also has plans to release 10-round models when they get 10- and 15-round magazines into production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
