I have the same Kimber package that you show here. If you inspect the mags that are in the bag, you may find that they are actually 10 round with a three round extentions. The mags will be stamped 10 but actually hold 13. great video, thanks

Very nice looking little pistol. Little out of my price range but your buddy got a great deal. I just got a GX4 from GunBroker and after the rebate I got it for less than $250 including tax, shipping and FFL fee. As soon as I got my rebate check I ordered a front night sight and an extra mag 😊. I'm loving it so far. Thanks for the video and have a blessed weekend 🙏.

I added this as a carry coming from Glock and Springfield. I love it, and it shoots like a dream for me.

I can shoot the little Kimber Mako about as good as I shoot any other pistol of its size range/class.

@Oblivionsurveyor 8 ай бұрын

the reduced recoil is because of the barrel does not tilt back as much as others because of the stop location is further back on the barrel

I went back and forth with the Sig 365 and the Mako both about the same price but the Mako came with the range bag five mags and a holster and was on sale for $449 at Murdochs Ranch store for Labor Day. Took it straight to the range and very accurate and I carry it in a 5.11 fanny pac. I wish I could have shot the Sig 365 to compare. I still want a 365 so next gun I buy will be that.

Thanks for the video. Does the Kimber's trigger have a definable wall?

@JayLewisFarmStyle 11 ай бұрын

Kinda sorta, Reminds me of the Canik trigger pull. It is a very good trigger and more accurate than I can be.

I carried a P365 for a few years. I just got a Mako with green dot optics. I can carry it in the pocket of my 511 pants with a sticky holster with no problem (I also carry IWB). It is bigger but I've gotten used to it.

We tested the Gowutar A17 on the Mako last year and I shot some of the best groups I've ever gotten from a micro 9 out of it that day. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKtklcqApsezqmg.html

Would this be a good option as a first gun? I’m wanting to get one for concealed carry once I’m 18

@JayLewisFarmStyle 10 ай бұрын

Concerning first firearms; assuming it's the one you're going to learn to shoot on, then I don't recommend something as small as a micro 9 for a first time owner or someone just starting out. It is better to learn the fundamentals on something a little easier to control. In that regard I think you're much better served with something of a compact size like a Glock 19 or a Taurus G3C. Now if you're already well versed in handgun competency then by all means a micro like the Kimber R7 Mako would be fine. We actually have a playlist devoted to this topic, I'll attach it here. New Gun Owners: kzfaq.info/sun/PLPtUC6Hk3Uz3Cvt-KndEJnDEApaH9vPic Concerning turning 18 and concealed carry, while I disagree with it depending on where you are at, you are probably restricted from handgun purchase or ownership or carry until your 21. If an person is old enough to join the military and fight for freedom, I see no reason why they would be prevented from having a beer, smoking a cigarette, or owning a self defense weapon, but I don't make the rules.

The body of the magazine says 10 but kimber add the extensions on it making it 11+1 and 13+1 capacity. I agree kimber should not have done that but I’m sure it is an engineering reason.

The Kimber package just drives home the fact that the Glock 26 (Gen 5) is way over priced. The Kimber package gives you night sights, ambi features, a better trigger, plenty of mags and it’s slimmer than the 26. The one thing Glock hangs its hat on is, “but the platform”. In that sense, Glock is like Apple.

I’ve always wanted to try to carry a micro 9. Never really saw a point though. Anyone I’ve seen shoot them can barely hang on. I carry comfortably and barely print with a 19/23 or 27. Just for todays useless and irrelevant knowledge.
