Kimber Announces R7 Mako Carbon Compact

Kimber Announces R7 Mako Carbon Compact

We take a look at the Kimber R7 Mako Carbon Compact, an updated and enhanced version of the company’s micro 9mm carry pistol.

The original R7 Mako was Kimber’s take on the micro 9mm carry gun craze, and it’s remained a very solid option since it first launched, but the company has just announced an enhanced version called the Carbon Compact. At its core, it’s the same old Mako, but the new features and design updates make it a very interesting option.

Firstly, the Kimber Carbon Compact gets its name from the new Carbon Fiber Matrix-filled grip housing, a material that is much stronger than typical firearms polymers. While extra durability is always nice, the more noticeable advantages of the new frame are the ergonomic changes. Namely, a forward thumb rest, a high undercut trigger guard and four interchangeable backstraps. The magwell is now flared as well.

Compared to the original Mako, the Carbon Compact pistols also feature slightly longer barrels for a little extra oomph. Of the four available variants, two have 3.9-inch barrels and two have threaded 4.4-inch barrels. The only other distinction between the four models is whether or not the pistol will come with a Holosun 407K pre-installed, as all four are optics-ready. All models are also fully ambidextrous, feature the Kimber performance carry trigger and have a rail for mounting a light or laser.

Mountie Mizer, Vice President of Sales for Kimber, said this about the updated Mako:

This new Carbon Compact delivers on all the attributes that our consumers have been asking for and will make more people familiar with where Kimber is headed with our deeper offering of polymer striker variants which feature the best triggers on the market.

Each Kimber Carbon Compact ships with two 15-round magazines and MSRP starts at $735 for the unthreaded model with no optic.
