5 Reasons This Gun Is Underrated - Kimber R7 Mako Revisited
About this video
Colion revisits the Kimber R7 Mako pistol and argues that it’s significantly underrated, despite an earlier recall on some models. He breaks down five reasons he believes the gun deserves more credit: its better-than-expected appearance in person, higher-than-typical build quality for a polymer firearm, surprisingly accurate shootability, deceptively compact carry size that shoots like a larger gun, and competitive pricing in the $500-600 range that he feels delivers exceptional value.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that the R7 Mako looks more attractive in hand than in photos, calling it one of the better-looking subcompact polymer guns available
- According to Colion, the gun’s build quality feels premium for its price point, with high-grade polymer, metal trigger shoe, and overall dense construction reminiscent of Kimber’s 1911 reputation
- Colion reports shooting the R7 Mako more accurately than his familiar Glock 43X, noting it carries small but shoots like a larger gun, and offers competitive 12+1 capacity at a $500-600 price point
