The Kimber R7 Mako Carbon Compact delivers precision engineering in a striker-fired platform designed for serious shooters. This optics-ready pistol combines Kimber's renowned craftsmanship with modern tactical features for concealed carry and duty applications.
What Makes This Different
The R7 Mako features Kimber's TrueFit System (TFS) with interchangeable modular backstraps, allowing shooters to customize grip geometry for optimal control. The carbon fiber-reinforced polymer frame reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity under stress. Unlike standard polymer frames, the molded stippling provides consistent texture that won't wear smooth over time.
Key Features
- 15+1 capacity in 9mm Luger with flush-fitting magazine
- 4.42-inch stainless steel slide with Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish

Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling across various ammunition weights and brands. The 4.42-inch barrel length provides excellent accuracy for both precision shooting and rapid engagement scenarios. Weather-resistant coating on the slide resists corrosion in humid environments, while the polymer frame handles temperature extremes without dimensional changes.
