Key Features and Specifications

Unmatched Durability with Carbon Fiber Infused Matrix Frame

At the heart of the R7 Mako™ Carbon Compact is its revolutionary frame, constructed from a Carbon Fiber infused matrix. This advanced material delivers superior durability, boasting an impressive tensile strength of up to 60,000 psi. The result is a pistol frame that is not only incredibly strong but also lightweight, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry. The frame’s molded stippling finish ensures a secure grip, even in the most demanding conditions, while its slim 1.16-inch width provides comfortable concealability.

Precision Engineering and Design

The R7 Mako™ Carbon Compact features a meticulously engineered design that prioritizes both functionality and comfort. With a height of 5.8 inches and a length of 7 inches, this compact pistol is perfectly sized for discreet carry. Weighing in at just 25.4 ounces without the magazine, it offers a balanced feel that enhances accuracy and control during use. The accessory rail allows for the easy attachment of tactical lights or lasers, further enhancing its versatility.

Enhanced Performance with Stainless Steel Slide and Barrel

The slide of the R7 Mako™ Carbon Compact is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and finished with FNC (Ferritic Nitrocarburizing) for added durability and corrosion resistance. The 3.92-inch stainless steel barrel features a 1:10 left-hand twist rate, ensuring consistent accuracy with each shot. Additionally, the barrel is threaded for suppression (TFS), offering compatibility with a wide range of suppressors for those who prefer a quieter shooting experience.

Cutting-Edge Sights and Optics

For rapid target acquisition and precision shooting, the R7 Mako™ Carbon Compact is equipped with 3-Dot TruGlo Tritium Pro Night Sights. The orange front ring and white rear rings provide excellent visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring you can confidently aim and shoot no matter the environment. To further enhance its sighting capabilities, the pistol comes with a pre-installed Holosun HS 407K red dot sight, allowing for even quicker target acquisition and improved accuracy.

Customizable Grip and Control

Recognizing that every shooter has unique preferences, Kimber has included four interchangeable modular backstraps with the R7 Mako™ Carbon Compact. This feature allows users to customize the grip to their hand size and comfort level, ensuring a secure and ergonomic hold. The high undercut and flared magwell further improve the pistol’s handling, making reloads faster and more intuitive.

Ambidextrous Controls for Versatility

The R7 Mako™ Carbon Compact is designed to accommodate both right- and left-handed shooters. Its ambidextrous slide lever and magazine release make it easy to operate, regardless of your dominant hand. This thoughtful design element adds to the pistol’s versatility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of users.
