Editor’s Note:

Kimber scaled up their micro-compact R7 Mako and added some new features with their new Mako Carbon Compact. An aggressive trigger guard undercut, extended magwell, optics-ready slide, and improved ergonomics make this gun an outstanding entry into the ultra-thin carry gun market. Excellent reliability and accuracy help the Mako Carbon Compact further compete with guns like the Sig P365 X-Macro and the Springfield Hellcat Pro.

By The Numbers - Kimber R7 Mako Carbon Compact

Accuracy
Mechanical accuracy was excellent at 7-15 yards. The lack of a well-defined trigger break makes extreme precision at further distances (25 yards +) a bit tougher.
Reliability
Our test gun had zero malfunctions during testing over 500 rounds, even without cleaning or lubing it.
Customization
You can add an optic and a light, but holster options are very limited and the Mako doesn't have any real aftermarket.
Ergonomics
The gun feels amazing in the hand. All of the curves and texturing are in the right place. We wished the baseplates were a tiny bit longer and that the slide release wasn't so easy to accidentally ride.
Value
This gun is priced right in between the Hellcat Pro and P365 X-Macro, making it a solid value buy.

Mossberg knocked it out of the park with the MC2c! Its ergonomics and size make it easy to carry and conceal, while its accuracy and reliability will give you the peace of mind of knowing you’re covered. The 9mm chambering means ammo is easy to source, and the cherry on top is that optics plate where you can mount your favorite red dot. We’ve done a 1,000-round burndown, and this gun kept trucking and has easily become one of our favorite concealed carry options!
