The Kimber R7 Mako FDE delivers striker-fired reliability in a compact frame engineered for concealed carry and duty applications. This optics-ready pistol combines Kimber's precision manufacturing with modern features that address real-world performance demands.
What Makes This Different
The R7 Mako features a dual-capacity magazine system with both 11-round flush-fit and 15-round extended magazines included. The optics-ready slide accepts popular micro red dot sights without adapter plates, while the Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing. The striker-fired action eliminates external hammers and safeties for snag-free deployment.
