Your reviews are consistently technical and shooter based. I really like how a person like me who likes guns, but isn’t a gun nerd gets some useful data.
I love how most of these manufacturers made these guns hold 11 instead of 10. Almost like it was a slap in the face of the left knowing that some of them conceal carry.

The barrel-chamber locks up with the top of the slide that's why the port is on the side of the slide. The barrel tilt is also reduced. All this is to improve accuracy.
@@runningbear6391 Lol, I hear you cuz but I CCW full size all the time and I have zero complaints about it. Personally, I am tired of things getting smaller.

@@runningbear6391 Lmao! Assumptions are the mother of all f&*k ups. I am in my late 30s, I don't live in the ghetto either and I own a Glock as my first. Wrong on all accounts, so I guess you messed up big time. So do you think I will take any advice you have to offer seriously after that... Like I said in my first message, you can't change my mind and you playing at being a soothsayer isn't helping . Tell you what Mr Tacticool, clearly you have a problem with ppl who tell you "no" or "don't care for your opinion" as I did. It is best we part ways as I sense you getting unnecessarily nasty and I am not in the mood for keyboard wars.
@SickCall Ranger my dad has his M&P Shield kick brass strait back at him sometimes and my brother has that problem when he shoots my P365XL. I never have a problem with my P365XL but when he shoots it is kicks brass straight back about 40% of the time.
@SickCall Ranger I don’t know. My dad is huge and my brother is pretty light framed. The shield only does it with Dad and the P365XL only does it with him and my bro. Neither if them get very high grips.
@@gerardboles1124 That is an extractor issue. A Glock with a messed up extraction will pelt you with hot brass in your forehead every time. I am used to hot brass from qualifications where you might get brass down your shirt from the guy next to you. You get used to it. It doesn’t mean you have to like it and extractors can be fixed.
@@gerardboles1124 Meat grips make great human ransom rests. However, they have a hard time working as subcompact. Skinny bastards like me tend to get too much finger on the subcompact trigger and push rounds left as a right hand shooter. Full and large frame handgun, don’t do that to me.
About 10 years ago I had to secretly dispose of my sons twin bedroom sheet set. I thought I threw it away, turns out Eric snatched it up and made a shirt out of it. I can't remember but I think it was buzz lightyear? Dont know but hey, nice work with the pattern though, tip of the cap to the seamstress....

Is it just me, or did the 10 shot, flush-fit mag consistently shoot 11 rounds? (I know you can have one chambered, but that didn't seem to be the case in the video.)
Love the videos you make Brother I've just purchased / ordered this Kimber R7 Mako. What are your thoughts on the Optics that come with the weapon.? This will be my first pistol with an optic on it. I've shot many, many pistols all with regular iron sights.
P365 and the hellcat both have loaded chamber indicators in front of the optic. It allows hot gasses to discharge into the optic Cant be good long term Just my opinion
Nice shirt lol I was wanting to pick up a S&W plus but I’m liking the kimber. So many good choices. Wish FN would come out with a double stack sub compact. The 503 is lame.
@@runningbear6391 I agree with you, kimber is probably a better deal. The kimber has basically the same sights as my wife’s hellcat. I do own a sight pusher as I had to buy one to replace the horrible sights on my G48. The G48 mos and shield are a little over priced in my opinion just for the fact you get lame basic sights. Maybe I’ll buy both lol 😂 Kimber and shield. I love my Conceled carry firearms.
I think I'll wait until they offer a longer barrel version with a standard rail and possibly a threaded barrel. Also, hope they do away with the roll pins... and just use solid steel pins like everyone else.
I've wondered that, too, but they're getting more and more common. Heck, I've seen guys using the raised ridge of the optic to run the slide, with no issues. I'm guessing they've worked that out pretty well. 👍
Not a kimber fan. Bought a micro 9 had to send it back right after purchase. Wouldn't cycle a full mag. I thought a $750 pistol should work perfectly right out of the box. The other factor is that highpoint has a better warranty.
I have a plain jane Micro 9 stainless that's had over 3,000 rounds through it with no problems. All I've done to it was change the grips, change the spring housing from the stock grey to a black one and added the night sights my Kimber was only $560.

Compared to my Springfield bought 7 years ago this is light-years ahead in comparison. Great job Kimber. The only thing l don't like is the trigger play is too long. Would prefer a lighter trigger.
God dang that's one fresh outfit
💯

ended up with a mako , great trigger , many great choices out there , really happy with accuracy size and function
Me too...got the range pack
I have been wondering where my Star Wars curtains ended up.
Your reviews are consistently technical and shooter based. I really like how a person like me who likes guns, but isn’t a gun nerd gets some useful data.
I commend Kimber’s ingenuity on this one. First micro-compact 9mm with an ambidextrous slide release.
Forget the pistol, check out the shirt!
Epic shirt!
That was to distract from the ugly pistol.
Is he wearing one of those 3d posters printed onto a shirt that you have to stare at crosseyed for 30 seconds? Or did Walt Disney throw up on him?
Perfect shirt for concealed carry,,,who would think the guy in the loud star wars shirt would be packing heat...
Shirt is definitely louder and probable more lethal than the gun.
Dang Eric we going to need a shirt review channel after this brother hahaha! Absolutely killing it thanks guys awesome video
It’s about time this man shows some style
We need button down shirt reviews from Eric! You rocked that shirt dude!
I love how most of these manufacturers made these guns hold 11 instead of 10. Almost like it was a slap in the face of the left knowing that some of them conceal carry.
It's also likely to give a leg up over the SIG 365 and Glock 43X

2021 really is a great year for guns
100%
So was 2020
2020 was the best year I've seen and then the big event came. Now things are slowly getting better
I wish ammo could be cheaper and a lot more available.
When I was a kid I had curtains and a bedspread that was the same pattern as that shirt. That's the coolest shirt in the whole wide world right there.

and not wearing ear pro. lol
I’ve been waiting for exactly this boat paddle. I’m left (wrong) handed, and this one seems to fit the criteria nicely. 2nd would be the 365
I love going down these rabbit holes of new pieces of equipment.

Thanks for the review!
I had curtains of that shirt pattern when I was a kid. Good review, too, most thorough I’ve seen of the mako.
Is there a better CCW for left handers? I haven’t seen one…
As a lefty ,that owns the mako, the answer is no
The barrel-chamber locks up with the top of the slide that's why the port is on the side of the slide. The barrel tilt is also reduced. All this is to improve accuracy.
I’m still using my little SIG p365. I like the look of the Kimber though. The SIG hasn’t missed a beat for jobs in IQ or AF.
dont swap you Sig the kimber is a piece of crap.......

Nice Springfield Hellcat!
The barrel lockup is pretty cool with this gun as well and I believe that it does make for a more accurate pistol as well. Great review as always!
The shirt is why I’m here. These aren’t the Sub compacts you’re looking for 😂
I had sheets like that shirt fabric as a kid in the 80's.
I think the ejection port design will also keep brass from going into the face of newer/limp-wristed shooters.
I don’t think new shooters are gay.

Awesome video Erick
I agree the shirt is the star of this video!!!!!!
Great review, brother. Thanks.
I think if you enjoy the regular shield, you will really like the shield plus.
It's not snappy, shoots more like a bigger gun.
Trigger is really nice
Looks like another winner!
Man pulls all the girls with that shirt,my man here slays.
Seems Very Accurate! Thanks Guy's! Great Job!
Need to Try That Taurus GX4. Stack up anything out there. IMO

Negative on the chamber check brother. If you look at the back end of the port you will see if it has a round seated or not. God bless
i heard your shirt before i heard the pistol! that's an awesome shirt!
You didn't talk about the barrel shroud and the unique lock up it has.
no
Never this early to the show.
I thought that mine is really not snappy compared to my other micros. It feels like it pushes back more than snaps up.
That shirt is out of this world.
I wonder if that bubit system actually works on reducing recoil.
thanks for the kimber handgun video!!!
But how does it hold up to +P++ ????????
What a shirt you would need those sunglasses o yes you were testing a pistol what was it 🥳😂👍🏴💯 from Cornwall England

Ditto
@@runningbear6391 maybe look into the 365xl with a 15 round mag. It extends the grip about an inch.
Can you take off the red dot and show the footprint for a red dot? Thanks
Well, the optic was put on by Kimber. They sell Optic Ready (OR) and Optic Included (OI) models.
It's the RMSc footprint, it will likely fit anything that has that footprint
You’re extremely experienced, but I was actually going to comment about how flat it appeared to shoot. Then you spoke of the muzzle flip.
I laughed so hard when you admitted not having ear pro. lol..
great vidio Eric!!!
Is it just me, or did the 10 shot, flush-fit mag consistently shoot 11 rounds? (I know you can have one chambered, but that didn't seem to be the case in the video.)

I wouldn’t say Kimber is “late” to the compact carry game - I think they released their first Micro 9 back in 2016
Hmm, 10 round flush fit is really a 11 round flush fit? @10:35
Slide riding optic...notice any issues of it not holding zero?
I've wondered that, too, but they're getting more and more common. Heck, I've seen guys using the raised ridge of the optic to run the slide, with no issues. I'm guessing they've worked that out pretty well. 👍
How does the Kimber,compare to the Hellcat,Shield plus,Ruger Max?Thanks
Wow Kimber has a me too gun now too nice
Not a kimber fan. Bought a micro 9 had to send it back right after purchase. Wouldn't cycle a full mag. I thought a $750 pistol should work perfectly right out of the box. The other factor is that highpoint has a better warranty.
Still better than Ruger (which has literally ZERO warranty) but everyone gives them a free pass...

I just have one question for Kimber…..why??
Oh idk, maybe because it's the most popular gun categories at the moment??
