Kimber has expanded its R7 line-up with a firearm that is no mere “carbon copy” of other polymer handguns. The R7 Mako Carbon Compact is built around a carbon fiber matrix-filled grip housing, which was developed to deliver a superior strength ratio that withstands over double the impact force of standard firearms. The Carbon Fiber frame also features a forward “Gas Pedal” thumb rest for a thumb forward shooting grip style prevalent in today’s shooters while offering a high undercut and flared magwell.
“This new Carbon Compact delivers on all the attributes that our consumers have been asking for and will make more people familiar with where Kimber is headed with our deeper offering of polymer striker variants, which feature the best triggers on the market,” said Mountie Mizer, vice president of sales for Kimber.
The Carbon Compact is fully ambidextrous, features a 3.9-inch barrel and four interchangeable backstraps, and ships with two magazines. A TFS model featuring a threaded barrel and direct-mount Holosun 407K optic has also been announced.
