I have the original version in gray this 15 round mag is a game changer for this pistol it is now a hellcat killer
As an R7 Mako owner, it needs to be said, this is not a micro 9 like many reviewers like to say. It's a subcompact and it's not even small compared to other subcompacts like the Glock 26. It's closer to an XD Subcompact. So get it if you want the best striker fired trigger on the market, but know it's a big fish.
Your comment surprised me at first, because it's only 1oz heavier and less than a quarter-inch longer than the P365, but looked it up and saw that part of the grip is 1.2" thick. That's much closer to a 2011 (with a huge fat .45-width mag) than a P365!
All these comments & no mentions of pricing
Love Kimbers but weak wrists. Not the gun for me?

I got rid of mine of mine like a fool! Has likely the very best trigger I’ve ever experienced on a striker fired weapons. Piss on their 1911s. Most aren’t reliable. I was a fool and dumped my kS6 again about the best of any revolver I’ve experienced
I’m sorry but the website handgun hero says the G26 is bigger. I’ve never held or even seen the Mako in person but it’s hard to believe any micro pistol is thicker than a G26. Most sub compacts are more slim compared to the G26 Lol.
An exceptional, beautiful, precise pistol, remarkable and superlative in every way. An excellent and honest review.
I have the standard R7 Mako and love it so far.
The R7 Mako is a really cool ambidextrous design!
My older r7 could use the light rail. But It has trijicon night sights. Not the cheap truglo. So you win a little and loose a little. GREAT GUN
Love my R7 Mako!
But I wish they had the rail on mine that they have on this. My R7 it’s so cool I call it the “hot rod” because it’s almost like it’s been customized with texture, a great trigger, extreme accuracy, and the ability to handle high quality optics, which as much as I love Glock 26’s , this is like they took one of those and fixed everything and truly made it perfection.
Is it a G26 on the inside?
@@JinKeenot at all
It’s a nice looking gun, and no failures, I like it.
It is a Wilhelm Bubits design. He is the European Fred Craig. An under appreciated genius.
This model maybe the best of the bubs!
Might piss folks off (I’m a pretty big Glock fan) I truly believe Bubits was more than likely the man behind the scenes at Glock! Gaston might have had brains and some cash but he was making fucking plastic curtains rods! Wilhelm likely is true Glock mastermind! Huge Ak guy too and could see Mikhail getting credit for a design of a primarily German masterminded build. Kalash was tank dude and vodka guy appropriate to use him as national hero poster boy,
*sootch00* Sweet little shooter you got there sootch, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. GOD Bless brother.
Great review on a great pistol, Sootch. Been watching your reviews for many years. Now take off that Glock hat and put on a Kimber hat.
I sent multiple emails to Kimber asking for a threaded barrel since I got mine.. The first one was met with “We’ll take it into consideration, thanks for your message” but the last one was more along the lines of “We’ve been listening and we got somethin cookin for ya.” Very glad I wasn’t being fucked with and so goddamn excited to finally run a can on the Mako🙏
Great review sir! I have the standard R7 Mako and love it so far.
Fake news
I heard that the original R7 was a good gun. Always nice to see extra mag capacity
Can confirm. I've had one since spring of 2022 and it's been incredibly reliable and very comfortable to carry, and shoot. I put the Holosun 507K GR on mine and it's an absolute tack driver
My EDC, excellent micro. Only thing on the market right now I feel is as good is the Shield Plus.
Im glad Kimber is turning it around, i always wanted a Raptor
Love my r7 mako awesome trigger and looks great for a polymer handgun
I have the regular R7 and it's been amazing. Replaced my p365... trigger is like butter and i can place shots on target so easily with it. 15 round mag feels great but isn't good for CC.
The ejection out of the side, instead of being open on the top, also ensures that brass wont impact your optic. Not likely to ever be an issue, and not likely to cause damage, but still a nice thing they considered. Not something I’d buy for myself, but the more reliable guns on the market available for people, the better.
The R7 has been underrated since its release. If they could have made the pricepoint more inline with the P365, i think it could have been a contender.
Ergos are great, texture is amazing, trigger phenomenal, controls are fully ambi, and the sights are factory night sights AND 1/3 cowitness... Honestly, i had no complaints other than that they were the most expensive option.
If you havent shot or even handled on- try it. You will be pleasantly surprised.
It’s pretty much the same price as the p365.
@@poconofrank9476p365 might be more unless you get the base model
Looks like a hellcat and a hi point yeet canon had a secret lust baby 😂
Great gun and review. I'm Very impressed.
I just got the Mako, waiting for my Holosun 407 and mounting plate. I think it's going to be an awesome EDC. Wish it had some of the options this one does. Great review as always.
Looks like a hellcat and a hi-point had a baby. The hellpoint haha
That trigger reset sounds and looks awesome. I like the overall look of the gun. May compete with the mc9 43x crowd
Canik mc9 is garbage has issues with striker hitting never would i trust my life with that gun never would buy it either plenty of people have voiced issues stay away
????? I own multiple caniks including the MC9
I can honestly say every single one of them has not jammed on me once yet
But yes this is a great matchup against mc9
have a r7 mako , not as small as a true sub compact , trigger is outstanding , never has failed to function , really accurate , one more thing trigger is outstanding ,
Nice. Well done as always.
Not a very popular one but I was excited when they came out❤
I bought the Mako bundled with the new 15 round mags. It's a much better design than the 13 rounder which has an odd shape that is more to conceal, yet still doesnt let you get a pinky on the grip.
I hope they keep making new versions based off this design.
Awesome video nice kimber R7 mako thanks for sharing sootch00
Good vid. Would’ve been nice to see a size comparison with other micros though.
Mr. Sootch. It was great meeting you today at the gun show in Greenville. Please consider doing a video on the Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan soon. Thanks!
Don't dox people you pos
Thanks Jim! I was a pleasure meeting you as well. I now have the Alaskan on the short list. Take care Brother
you make some of the best gun videos thank you!!!!
Thanks for watching Brother!
I definitely wanna add this to the collection
The Mako has always looked like a Hi-Point that went to finishing school.
Looks like a very nice pistol. Really nice.
I got the base model R7 Mako from rural king 471 out the door was less than the 540 l payed for my SIG P365 9mm out the door plus put a Grayguns fishscale grip module so add that to the price of the SIG P365 makes getting a base R7 Mako for 480 dollars or less out the door is a pretty good deal the grip texture on the R7 is perfect and so is the Stoeger STR-9mc out of the box better than a stock P365 or Canik MC9 in my opinion replace the P365s grip module to a Grayguns and silicone carbide Canik MC9s grip with a fine grit
Extended mags in short grips can be tricky to drop. I'd be more excited if they offered 13 or 15 round grip frames instead of just the extended mags. Otherwise, I like the Mako.
Great video Don. I might be more jealous of your weather today than your agreement with Kimber!
Oh yeah… severely underrated. 💯🇺🇸. Quality pistol for sure. Thanks Don!
Did the red dot glass stay cleaner being that there’s no hood opening?
Also, does this run dirtier?
I've handled an R7 several months ago. Unfortunately not one of the half dozen gun stores in my area has a range for customers to try a pistol before buying. It looked like very high quality, and the texturing and ergonomics were just fine for me. I found the trigger and controls to be good. Thr price was decent as well. I absolutely liked everything about it. I would have purchased it on the spot, but past Kimber small pistols usually had issues I've heard. For now I'm hoping that Springfield announces a Glock 19 size Echelon model in the near future. I'd buy that for certain.
**had a friend that had a Kimber 1911 officer model, that was an expensive piece of crap, every time we went to the range it jammed, sometimes so bad that he had to disassemble the gun.
**I worked church security with him and the first thing I would have done if we would have gotten in a situation was hand him my second piece.
**Seen nothing but good reviews about the Mako and their revolvers, and I admit I want both.
**would also like to see them make a model that's got a full grip, rather than this magazine sleeve bastardization.
**Tack pack, with light, red Dot and holster that fits the light would be awesome.
The R7 had some recalls in the early days of it's release, but from what I gather, those have all been dealt with. Mine has never had a single issue and has been nothing but absolutely reliable. And mine isn't a safe dweller. I carry it with me nearly every day.
@jakethebard ...thanks for the update. That's great to hear. I may still get one eventually. Right now I'm extremely interested in the new KAHR double stack pistol that's going to be shown at the next ShotShow. It's a reality now, after a long rumored wait. There's only one video of a pre production gun in a RUclips video just from two days ago. Also an official statement from KAHR about a bunch of new guns for 2024. I like KAHRS a lot, and I've put off buying several guns, since I heard months ago that this was really coming out. I think it's called the X9. I've always loved that KAHR trigger, it's like a very well tuned revolver trigger.
@kirkchartier7141 ...yeah, that truly is a shame, because as gorgeous as some KIMBER 1911s were, lots of people apparently got shafted buying one. Many of them were knowledgeable 1911 users, that had tried everything possible to make their guns reliable, to no avail.
@@user-rn9sb8wu4h I'll have to check that out. I really love the trigger in my Mako. Sootch wasn't exaggerating when he said the trigger is really great in it. The slack is short, and the break is like glass. And it was like that for me right out of the box. I didn't have to work it in at all.
Damn, the new YEET Cannon is crazy…. 😂
Looks like a good gun to me 🎉
Gotta love the music choice in that opening.
R7 mako love
Kimber = break in typically 😂 it got my attention. Good looking pistol I overlooked.
After a hard day work. Hands have muscles cramps. Putting the weapon down with action open at the range. Had this issue last time at the range. I was shooting 18 round magazine 😢 ❤ rest up before going to the range.
Nice nice❤
Looks like a high point
high point is probably more reliable
I was just thinking that! The HiPoint is like $700 cheaper too!
You guys are clowns.
That a Beauty.
I actually like this one
I like the sight on that...
Presumably, It has no external safety other than those aggravating trigger blades, just like a glock. Many with an over inflated ego will now start bragging and boasting that they are so well trained and proficient with a handgun that they do not need or require a safety. For the rest of us who live in the stark world of reality, the addition of a safety would have been a much desired feature to incorporate into this firearm. I (among many many others) prefer the versatility of having the option of a safety on a conceal carry handgun. This poly Kimber is a beautiful and well thought out firearm, if it incorporated an external safety i'd purchase at least two of them right away. But, for now at least, don't believe i want one. The armchair tactical experts can now proceed to rake me over the proverbial coals because i'm too incompetent(even though i've been a police officer for the last 26 years and was in the military prior to that) to want to own a handgun without a safety. Proceed gentlemen!
Presumably I'll be able to get the threaded barrel from Kimber's store and be able to put it in my original R7? It looks like I would have to file my own cut in the frame to use any tac lights though.
how the R7 Mako Tactical performs on the range.
scootch00 you gotta get control of these bots this is out of hand 😂
Lol butt cheeks everywhere
Thot bots🤣
It's ridiculous for sure
Do you mean bots as in opinions you don’t like about something you support? Or do you mean spam?
no theyre like porn accounts commenting kiss emojis@@igotfriendsinlowplaces2971
Looks like a hi point
Looks like a high point !
Finally...the perfect pistol. Do-all certified. Glad you partnered with Kimber!
Should’ve made it like hellcat pro and maybe we would’ve liked it more
Are the mags interchange between the r7 and r7 tactical?
sootch theres also a 10 round flush fit mag, and a 10 round flush mag with a pinkie rest
15+1 magazine???
It looks like a high point
Is the trigger better than the canik
Looks slick. Wondering about long term reliability
It looks kind of like a Hi-Point. Great review as always sir!
I love that almost all the major companies are putting these micro 9s with more rounds but this is not my favorite looking gun
Daniel Defense H9 when you get a chance. Always good content!
What kind of watch r u wearing.
Congratulations on the new partnership with Kimber. Hopefully, you can review their custom shop Gold Combat 1911.
Thing looks snappy
Does an OLIGHT Baldr S fit on this?
Great video Sootch. Could you do a review on the Smith & Wesson SD9 2.0?
I've been interested in the SD9 2.0 so I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
@@sootch00 ~~~ Awesome!!! Much appreciated chief
Was a piston needed with the suppressor?
I wonder if it'll have the same full auto feature as the original
🇺🇸
This is what I thought the yeet Cannon would look like
Looks like it was styled by Hi Point. First thing I thought was that looks a lot like the Yeet Cannon.
Nice one, what is the price? Thanks
I was somewhat interested in this one. Nice concept and a nice trigger. I had a chance to examine one at a local gun shop; gun struck me as being fairly large reletive to the other micro compact offerings out there. With the 15 rounder it's bound to be as big as a G19 and probably the same weight.
Looks like a Hi Point with class
Can we all agree this looks like a micro hi-point.
Fancy Hi-Point!!!
😂
Looks like a fancy yeet cannon
Reminds me of a Hi Point
I haven't been able to get the Sportsmans Guide discount code to work since Jan 1. Has anyone else been having the same issue?
The ejection port looks like a Hi Point.
I own a Kimber micro 9, not the macro. How much diffèrence between tĥe 2 guns other than looks
Looks like the high point yeet cannon lol
Nice Hi Point knock off
You know, it kinda looks like the new Kimber "Hi-Point"...🤣
It looks like a Hi Point Yeet Cannon… 😂
Looks like a Hi- Point with "Kimber" on the side
I wonder if that will come it around the same price as the beretta apx a1 tactical. Those are going for like $350 right now
Rmr cut, thredded barrel etc
R7 Tactical is around $734.00-$951.00 MSRP at Kimber website
Beretta APX and CZ P-10 series nice hidden gems.
haha
lol. close to $1k… no thx
I own this gun without the threaded barrel which I think is unnecessary better trigger than a hellcat now the 15 round mag makes it money I can’t believe Kimber won’t sell that 15 round mag to Illinois had to get it from another site
Sootch
🤨
It reminds me of a Yeet Canon 😂
When I saw the thumbnail I thought I was looking at a new Hi Point. A tactical CCW pistol makes little sense?
