Kimber Mako R7 Vs. EVERYBODY

[@baptistgaming91]

That M&P subcompact is beautiful. Smith did a great job on them.

[@spnfirearms]

They really did. Extremely underrated size to Shootability ratio. Respect

[@cuzinmike]

Thanks for doing this. Only thing I don't like about the Mako is that the mags are longer at the butt of the grip and shorter in the front, which is the exact opposite of what I want for carry.

[@spnfirearms]

No problem, thank you. And I get that! I like it for the short mag for some resistance for your pinky, but for the extended one I agree. Very nice feeling though. Respect

[@Mike-Olds-1]

Looking forward to a range performance video on the kimber . I own several Springfield Xd s thousands of rounds through them and never had a single issue ever. Very solid and reliable.

[@hightolerance2500]

I have an XD-S 45 3.3 and absolutely love it despite mag capacity

[@richardsqueeze]

I picked mine up yesterday and put a quick 100 rounds thru it. I have to admit I'm loving the mako so far, I'll be testing it more this weekend, but im pretty sure it'll earn a spot in the carry rotation.

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

Absolutely love mine.

[@N.R.S.412]

Ive had good luck with kimber so far with the mako and k6s 3". Mako is part of my rotation and definitely one of my favorite. That stoeger is the very next on my purchase list.

[@spnfirearms]

Great to hear. I’ve heard great things about both. Respect

[@hightolerance2500]

I had a K6S 2” and it was beautiful….BUT TOO LIGHT IN THE ASS!!!! Ran 12 rounds through it, and it had to go. My Chiappa Rhino 200DS wasn’t fond of her either LOL

[@yeahitdonotmatter4330]

I love this gun , been my edc since may 2022

[@spnfirearms]

Can’t wait to take it out this weekend; respect

[@deucedeuce1572]

Awesome gun. Glad to see some people are taking advantage of it. Seems like too few people have it, because it's such an excellent gun. Most gun people don't even know what it is.

[@yeahitdonotmatter4330]

Still haven’t had any hiccups with it and I’ve ran all kinds of hollows and fmj’s besides steel amo

[@deucedeuce1572]

@@yeahitdonotmatter4330 That's good to hear. I've been hoping for a video on how it works. It's different from most guns and although I have an idea of how it works (I know how many 100s of firearms function), I've never seen exactly how the parts fit and function together. I don't know a lot of people that own them, but of the few people I've come across, they all love them and carry them for self defense (and they've all been reliable of course). I really wish an 80% would become available or at least the build kits with downloadable frame files.

[@MastermindRell]

My boy spn coming in clutch for the win 💪🏽

[@spnfirearms]

I appreciate ya, respect

[@dadthefixerflorida]

Thanks for the comparison. Honestly, I would’ve rather seen the flush fit mag comparison versus the extended mag comparison. Or maybe doing a seven minute video and showing extended mag options on all of them. Most of them have an extended mag option. Example 365 or 365 XL or 365 XL with the 15 round.hellcat with the 11 1315 or the 17. But I understand you’re comparing against the set up that you like.

[@N.R.S.412]

Im with you on the Vedder holters, their perfect 👌🏻

[@9unslin9er]

My Mako is disgustingly accurate. It shoots like a full size.

[@gregoryblackwell235]

Mine is very accurate as well. Eats literally anything. I put 400 rounds of every possible different ammo I could find through it the day I bought it. Different bullet weights, types, reloads, brands and case materials. NO hiccups whatsoever. Added a CT RAD Micro shake-awake red dot and now it's perfect. Trust my life to it.

[@paulc5817]

Love the channel! Just ordered a Walther PPS M2 with Holosun 407k….. If I want round capacity I’ll carry my pdp f 4 inch… your information on this firearm helped me to decide ty

[@Stclairm1]

Love my PPS! Just want something similar with more capacity.

[@ChrisKartes]

Kimber had some intentions behind the side-ejecting brass idea. This saves your optic from being beaten up with spent cartridges Cheers to Kimber!

[@gloriamaletta8667]

If someone asked me what micro compact is closest to the Kimber Mako R7 the first gun that comes to mind is Shadow Systens CR920

[@spnfirearms]

Yes and the mete mc9 is the same exact size…

[@kobudo]

Glad to see you are still enjoying the MC2sc holster! Sounds like you need one to carry that Pico in! 😂

[@spnfirearms]

Haha I might send it to beretta and finally get it completely fixed and run it like crazy haha. Respect

[@kobudo]

@@spnfirearms Well if I you get it fixed and I get into sublimation, I already have a good idea for the design for a “My Little Pico: Malfunctions are Magic” open carry meme holster.

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

The Mako fits my hand better than any other small 9 I tried, and I tried a lot of them. Also shoots like a much larger gun.

[@antrios3111]

Peace love respect!!!!! Another banger

[@spnfirearms]

I appreciate the support man, respect

[@russellrosario2517]

I love your comp videos,best on youtube

[@rome_p8914]

How do you like this vs the canik tp9 elite sc?

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Been using the magguts setup in my shield 2.0 for many years.. the trick to them is throw a small profile +2 baseplate on the spare with the magguts +2 kit and you actually get a +5 capacity in a mag that is only 3/16” of a inch longer.. don’t remember what plates I use on my shield I think it’s TT plates.. My shield 2.0 is 9+1 flush with the 7rn mag and 13+1 with the 8rn mags. Never bought these new “micros” cause I already had that capacity to start with 😂😂. It’s very frustrating through to get the springs to seat properly with the follower and screw on baseplates.. took me a long time fighting with them to get them properly installed.. *add edit.. just went and checked they are not the TT baseplate they are HYVE and they are actually a +1 baseplate 😂😂 prob why sometimes I can get 13 in and other times it’s soo hard I just do 12 🤷‍♂️ but it only extends the 8rn mag about the same as the magguts kit does the 7rn and it’s gets rid of that stupid sleeve and fits the magwell perfectly. Also I find it really odd you use the magguts kits on the shield but then always make mention either the 43’s that you only use the factory mags in them.. also magguts used to make kits for glocks too.. idk if they still do or not.. If you can though you really want to get the old v1 magguts kits for the shields cause you can squeeze another round out of them if you do it right.

[@danielledimichele333]

I like what you're doing here, but really feel you should compare flush fit mags to flush fit mags. You put the extended mag in the Kimber and compared it to all other's flush fit. Apples to oranges.

[@thomascozart1095]

What is your first choice for a pocket size 380? Unfortunately, my go to manufacturer HK doesn’t make one. Yes, I have too many HKs. 😂

[@deucedeuce1572]

You can never have too many HK's. It does kinda suck they don't make a pocket .380 though. There are some pretty good one's made by other companies though. Like the Beretta Pico. That's his favorite 380 of them all. lol. Joking aside... anything you want specifically? The LCP Max is most peoples first pick these days. 10rds of .380 with the decent LCP II trigger and it's only slightly larger than the LCP II. It's almost identical in size though. I like the LCP II and especially the LCP too though, because they are a little smaller (esp the original LCP)... and the original LCP has a longer, heavier trigger, which is what a lot of people prefer with a pocket gun (or any CCW). It really depends if you want polymer or metal frame, lighter weight over capacity... or capacity over size, etc... There are many excellent guns to choose from. The Glock 42 is a very popular one for example, because it's an excellent shooting gun, but it's larger than most other pocket .380's and only has 6rds. Some people prefer that though. (Also, I think .32 is worth looking in to. Most people would prefer .380, but there are some good .32acp handguns that are worth consideration, like the Beretta 3032).

[@jason200912]

There's only one good one since the lc max isn't reliable. P365 380 which is only 3 oz lighter than. The 9mm. The lc max is 10 oz but doesn't function well

[@michaelsweaney3890]

Bersa Tunder CC or Sig P238. Both have above average triggers, next to no recoil and extremely reliable. I also have a Beretta 3032 INOX, but only have about 40 rounds through it.

[@pdthehybrid]

Yup!, like that Mako! 🦈

[@spnfirearms]

Yes. This weekend I’m going to run 300-500 rounds through it. I bet it runs flawlessly

[@hybridmultimedia6436]

Mako vs that Canik looks crazy!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pdthehybrid]

@spnfirearms ohhh, that's going to be a fun video, hope that Mako does well, it's an really good deal, hope it shoots true! See you then. ✨️🦈✨️🙏🏼

[@VolksStokes]

Love it!!! Keep making these!!!

[@johndonovan5247]

Love the content keep it coming

[@spnfirearms]

I really appreciate that! Respect

[@jackbauer9077]

Mako just seems a tad bigger than most micro 9mm’s not a bad looking pew pew, but for my money I like the shield plus and CSX is probably still my favorite, I’ve had them all and love size of 365 but had bad luck with them. The reflex is a great gun too but I’m about to part ways with it. Really hope HK brings their micro 9mm to the market soon, I’ll definitely buy 2 and switch to it, love paddle mag release, wish they’d make a DA/SA micro 9mm like a micro USP.

[@bernardcaillouet5565]

What's your thoughts on the Mako's trigger? Do you get a solid wall before it breaks?

[@stern2701]

I strive to one day have a collection like SPN

[@spnfirearms]

[@kevmac1230]

I live in restricted Rhode Island so I had to order my Mako in the ten rd. version. People must still like this gun, Bud's is sold out.

[@deucedeuce1572]

I really hope an 80% comes out for these. It's an awesome gun and I wish more people had them... and I think an 80% frame would make them very popular (or maybe even some 3d models for people to print and the availability of parts and parts kits of course).

[@HavocDH]

Hey SPN was wondering if you can help a guy out finding a set of iron sights for my Glock 19 that are identical to the R7 Mako. I can’t find a sight anywhere yet less I just don’t know where to look.

[@jones.i.r]

“Vs. EVERYBODY” that’s what’s up 👊

That Mako shoots like a dream, I had the best groups of my life with it. As good as a $1,500 gun lol

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Man the Kimber 1911’s have been dismal disappointments for the past 15 years. I can’t imagine their tactical Tupperware is any better. I just don’t gamble with the “maybe it’ll work” guns for defense.

[@spnfirearms]

Fair enough. No arguing with that… with that being said though a Glock engineer designed this handgun actually and went over to Kimber….. it has something going for it 😂

[@billj5645]

The "spotty" reputation has been gained by inexperienced shooters who buy their products and don't know how to operate them. Other brands have function problems too, I can show you plenty of other brands that have guns that don't function completely including Glock, S&W, Colt, Ruger, so you can't always blame the manufacturer. Look at the person making the contact and ask if they know what they are doing.
