Why I love Hickok. Shoots straight on the difficulties.
Today while shooting one of my friends said “I wish I could ding ‘em like the old man i watch on UA-cam”
I said “hickock”?
YUUUP 😂
You’re a legend
Hello Sir, I Just Wanted To Say You Are An Absolute Legend! I Visited Las Vegas Nevada From California For Thanksgiving And I Went To A Gun Store And They Had A TV Screen Playing One Of Your Videos 👏😁
Just got my mako and I love it! First firearm ever and I am very pleased with everything about it, the disassemble takes a bit to learn but once you do it a few times you get used to it, would recommend it to anyone looking at getting one
You will love all your first firearm.
Good job joining the club.
How you get many more.
68 yr old first time buyer waiting for my Blue Card and this one is heavily on my list. Little bit worried about take down but as a retired mechanical tech I'll relay on my experience with taking things apart and putting them back together.
@@kevmac1230 if you know how to take a Glock down it’s the same procedure, I have both this and 3 Glocks and and the take tabs on the mako are significantly bigger and easier to grasp then Glocks
@@somebiker3459 I won't let anything stop me 👍
Yeah from the reviews I've watched on this gun I kind of got the impression it was in the same category as the P365 and Hellcat but in all actuality it's in the same category as the g26 or shield plus size wise just heavier... Good to know for sure and great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Hickok & son are on top of their game once again! Keep it up; thanks for sharing.
I was looking at this earlier today while shopping for a new conceal. Thanks for being there for me once again, Hickok!
Love the comparisons side by side with other firearms to see the size differences!
Loved your comment regarding red dot sights. Bingo. Also, my Glocks are easy to take down. I traded a Target Ruger MKIII 22 because it was THE hardest gun to assemble in the entire world. Good video as always.
Kimber does make some really good firearms. Their 1911 style guns are sweet. Every gun maker makes a gun or two I am sure I would not like but they do make something I do like.
I would love to see a video explaining your technique on how you shoot smaller guns with bigger hands because I’ve been having trouble figuring it out myself but as always love the videos keep em coming
Best video I have seen on the Kimber R7 Mako so far , especially with the comparison to the Glock 19.
Thanks for doing the review without the optic, as I too have taken off the optics on my Sig P365XL and S&W Shield Plus 4" with ported barrel. I hated seeing the red dot bouncing around & when I took the red dots off of both of these pistols my accuracy immediately improved. Go figure... Love the Shield Plus Performance Center 4" ported barrel as it shoots with the accuracy of a full size pistol. I equate this to the excellent trigger (4.25 pound trigger pull) which my Sig 365 & 365XL don't have, but I shoot them pretty good too.
Hi there Dead eye! As a 68 yr old first time gun buyer I chose this from Buds,came with 5 mags, (10 rd as I live in restricted R.I.) holdster and travel bag for $685 including tax. I've recently seen the Mako for $399 gun only. Readily available without laser optics.
Great video as usual. Just order the 15 round mag for my P365XL after seeing it on your video along with Talon grips. Love my 45s but 9mm is much easier for my old hands to handle
I carry the glock 26 Gen 5 , its a very reliable firearm, I purchased the extension grips and got two more rounds for a total of 12 in the mag. I upgraded my sights to true glow as well.
Us Kentucky boys have our star special moment don’t we Hickok? 😂 great video as always! I’m already looking forward to the next video!
I’ve come full circle ⭕️ with red dots on pistols. I’m with Hickok, I like my trijicon rmr on my 34. It’s fun to shoot especially at distance. I retired the optic on my carry gun, as I get older maybe I’ll need mine too. For now, I’ll be sticking with a nice set of night sights on my handguns.
for the "smaller" carry guns I think night sights and a grip activated lazer is what I'm going to be looking for. Pocket carry or belly gun. Slim summer carry. From there as Hickock 45 often says your stepping up. I know at my present set of abilities I won't be snipping a hostage taker.
I appreciate you so much Mr Hickok always great content so much good knowledge just amazing!
I enjoyed your honest review of the Mako firearm. Also one of the reasons they covered the ejection port (G&A Handguns article Feb/Mar22) so the brass ejects in a tight pattern to possibly allow reloaders to clean up the ammo easier.
The hooded ejection port specifically increases reliability.
The slide is more structurally sound, as well as any installed optics will stay much cleaner between wipe downs.
I played with one at the gun store today and the trigger felt amazing. Absolutely no travel, just click. I will definitely be taking one of these home hopefully very soon!
It has the best trigger in its class. Just my opinion from someone who nearly owns every firearm in its class. It's better than the sig, glock, springfield, hk, khar, s&w and cz.
Waiting for you to evaluate the Springfield SA-35. Thanks for the reviews.
Exactly what i was going to say
Another great video! We ALL have at least 2 pistols that need an advanced degree from MIT to break down. So, I " feel your pain." I spent the day here at deer camp . I started the morning in my nice cozy blind, with my nice Mr Buddy heater and my little LP camp oven to heat up my food and coffee. I was a happy camper.... until the day started and I spent most of the day hauling in deer with the kids, watching as they field dressed their first deer, and helping our club VP track a 9 pointer that was dead when he was hit but didn't know it. He ran 250 yards into the thickest briars and thorns that he could possibly find as his last act of revenge. Of course, the wonderful feeling of getting shredded to pieces as we were extricating him makes me realize that we need to bring extra blood plasma with us next year. But, as always, it's deer camp so even the worst of times becomes the stuff legends are made of as each year passes and the stories are embellished. Well, I need to get going. My 45-70 needs cleaned and dried. I need to find dry clothes and Neighbor Ned is tending bar in the lodge and we need to make sure he doesn't try to make flaming martinis again.
Pretty soon the story will be remember that one year when we had to track and drag that nine pointer a quarter-mile out of blood thirsty briars. :-)
@@davidedward13 Don't forget we had to do it under enemy gunfire while being attacked by mutant zombies. In addition, the buck weighed 943 lbs and was wired to blow up if we dragged him under 50 mph.
"Let's weigh your car without the engine and see what it weights". Classic Hickok. Another great review. Anyone else reluctant to buy a handgun that Hickok and John struggle to take apart?
I am so excited to try to try this gun! Thank you for the review. I’m a woman with small hands, but I do not like how small the hellcat is. This one just might be perfect for me. Love, from Utah ❤️
Hi, can update your experience with if you had already?
When I first bought my Kimber Mako I had difficulty breaking it down after following the instructions. Then I stumbled on a full proof way of doing it and it has been clear sailing ever since. First step. Unload the weapon dropping the magazine and clearing the chamber. Second step. Very lightly pull the slide back while at the same time pulling down the breakdown tabs until they click. Third step. Pull the trigger. Fourth step. Hold onto the slide and barely push it forward and it will come right off. Let me know how that works out for you.
Just got mine. It shoots like a dream
A review of the Mossberg MC2 and or MC2sc would be welcomed compared with a couple of the other popular small pistols for size and controls etc.
Perfect timing since I just got home from my classes at my university. 😄🙌🏻
Wow you own a university awesome!
@@bluntssmoking9362 Lol no I don't.
Thanks hickok for doing the review without the optic. I shoot glock sig and hk all with stock sights they all shoot right on. Well on the days I am right on lol.
Thanks for the tour sir!
I've always loved Hickoks cool ass old dude mentality "smokin some pot"
Although I have seen several videos about this Kimber I didn't realize yhat the grip texturing was so aggressive. The photography on your videos seems to be superior.
Crazy, now Taurus is kicking Kimber butt with the G4.
Well done Taurus!!
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Thank you for pointing out the true size and weight of this pistol! After hearing what everyone else has said I figured it was about the same size and weight as a P365 or hellcat. I’m not upset that it’s not though I’m actually happy that it’s a little bigger. Honestly seems like an ideal size for this type of pistol in my opinion.
I agree in a way. It is on the heavier side for carry compared to its competitors but I agree with the size. I feel like there’s a difference between micro compact for ultra conceal and compact for great conceal and much better shooting. Have a good one man.
Yep, more the size of the Shield Plus (almost identical), so still plenty concealable.
@@l00nybin
the hellcat and p 365 have 15 round mags. and they are proven reliable beyond any doubt.
there's absolutely no reason to switch.
@@bradhuskers that's all kind of a preference isn't it? I mean, with all the micro compacts on the market today, I still carry a Glock 43. It's what works for you at the end of the day. Stay safe friend!
@@mattstephens6137
Well said. Each individual will feel differently about each gun. There's no one particular gun that's perfect for everyone.
Thank god we live in an age where there are so many choices
Awesome review as usual
Great review as always...
Love the videos man
Good Morning the range is looking good and fresh
Good ol winter time in Middle TN
Hello from Florida
Happy holidays
Great Video! The best of the best in TN
Finally someone who’s not using the Red Dot on it! Thanks Hickock 🤙🏻
I should have listened to Hickok. Bought a Kimber Mako online and it's enormous. Not only is it not a micro 9, it's not even a small subcompact. It fits in my Springfield XD Subcompact holsters.
I love buds guns. I took my wife on her first shooting adventure there and she shot an mp5 and has been hooked ever since!
I consider serviceability to be very important. So many autopistols come apart easily that it seems absurd to have one that doesn't.
I’ve had zero problems with mine. My friend has one and loves it just as much as I do.
It really isn't that hard to take down
@@BJT0003 Correct. I did it in seconds the first time. Incredibly simple.
It was a bit of a learning curve. It’s very finicky on how much exactly you have to pull the slide back. I can do it blind folded now
I've never disassembled a Glock in my life - which this is supposed to imitate - and my R7 is a breeze to disassemble compared to my P365.
Feel like this guy has every gun his arsenal is amazing
Great review hickock 🇺🇸🇺🇸
misses bottle 3 times...."those were blanks" 👋😂🏆 BEST LINE IN A FIREARMS VID EVER!
Thank you for no ads
There SHOULD be one. :-)
I appreciate the review from one of the greats. I would recommend and choose this over all the other with not typically being a Kimber fan. I’ll take this over the 365 or Hellcat. Glock is Glock everyday. Solid gin, great trigger and hand controls made easy....
I would love to see what you think about the Canik TP9 Elite SC!
I would love too see that one as well! Think he would like it too! Good one!💥💥💥💥💥💯✌🏻
Same! Really good firearm in my opinion
See Walther PDP review
I've been hoping to see it.
Canik makes Walther clones…
Mosseberg MC2sc review is much needed.
Thanks my old friend. Nice gun. Take care and god bless.
I love mine. no problem taking it Down but I don't have Sasquat hands. Best micro I've used! only need to try the ruger.
Great job !!!!
great review
I have 2 of these. Got the bundle deals so 10 mags total. I love this pistol
I just bought one! I haven’t had it out yet. I always want for your reviews first before I buy but this time. I hope I’m not to disappointed. Thank you guys for all your reviews and UA-cam videos.
Well it's easy to compare it to every 9mm carry gun in existence, but I'm sure once you shoot it a bit and familiarize yourself with it itll be just fine. And if not, you can sell it to somebody who doesn't watch Hickock videos, lol!
taking it apart will be hit or miss for the first 10 times or so there's a distinct sound to listen for when pushing the 2 tabs down you will know when you hear it. then it Wii become easy. pull slide back just a little bit.'
slide pulls straight up. goes back straight down . no sliding into place.
Your videos have really been helpful I’m still shopping around for my first conceal carry and seeing what I like and don’t like
A few suggestions - Glock, Glock, or Glock.
@@HarryManback0 I’m kinda leaning towards beretta
Shield plus with safety + TLR-6 + Priority 1 holster + Kytex double mag carrier. You're welcome.
@@ge-8135 went with beretta
@@johnmurphy6475 which one
Love to see you all the time. Your analysis is all we need to decide which new toy will make us happiest. Manufacturers have always put out wacky oddball items that are too big, too heavy, or looks- like-a-Hi-Point-but-its-a-Kimber models in order to appeal to the oddballs among us. Maybe its a great idea, but really its too heavy, thick, bigger and lower capacity for more money than its competitors. Its not gonna compete loose the shroud:, takenoff 3 ounces and add 3 more rounds and maybe with that great trigger it'll be a winner!
A 15 round mag is available.That should suit most. I have no pity however as I live in R.I. which restrict anything but 10 rd.mags . It's actually a felony here to own "high capacity mags".
Best UA-cam channel !!!
I like some of the Kimbers but that one isn’t as good as a lot of other options in a crowded market the category. Thanks for reviewing it.
Bought one and it's my new EDC, awesome groups at 25 , excellent trigger, fit and finish, sights, and capacity. Don't like the takedown though. Went with the optics ready cause I just wasn't impressed with the ct red dot.
Right after my initial comment a year ago, I noticed a tendency for the weapon to double-tap on its own, and had some surprise firings when re-acquiring targets. I was just about to write Kimber about it when I got the recall notice concerning the firing-pin issue. Sent it back, waited a couple of decades for the fix. Finally got the weapon back. Yes, the problem was fixed. Trigger still good, but not quite so impressive. I found that with some less-expensive range ammunition (that my other pistols eat just fine) I started getting some failure-to-feed and failure-to-eject issues. That, coupled with the take-down difficulty and the aggressive grip texture that abraded my wife's palms after about 50 rounds at the range made me holler "Uncle" and trade it in on a 365 XL for my wife. This pistol was like a great first date that tells you she wants to just be friends. Okay, I won't take you to the prom.
I would also like to know from guys who run Reflex sights how much of a problem they experience with dirt on their reflex sight.
The idea of a closed top slide seems logical, but lock up on the barrel Hood was one of the greatest pistol Innovations of all time
With the R7? I’ve got 200 rounds through mine so far and not a smidge of anything on the sight.
I'm glad to finally see a review that isn't just an "influencer" kit.
The Mako seems like it could be great or garbage and I just want to be sure before I purchase one.
Mine has been fantastic. Zero problems.
@Gopnik Boris It's $600 for optics ready and $800 for optics installed. I took mine down in seconds w/o even looking at the manual. I know several other people that own this firearm and not of us have had a single issue with it.
Look at the box. If it says "Kimber" on it, it is almost certainly a steaming pile of garbage.
@@virtualguitars I do not beleive you one single bit. I've never heard of one, let alone, multiple Kimber firearms functioning outside of John Wick.
@@TheSaxyG I put 220 rounds through my new Mako in one hour. Not one single issue. Same with my Ultra CDP. the only Kimber I ever had trouble with was with my old Pro CDP II with the external extractor, but that was a decade ago.
I'm glad to hear your bias on optics. Thanks for the review. Yep it's a Kimber and it comes with optics so that people with failing eye sight can have an easier time hitting the target. Hey you've been blessed with 20/20 so thanks for the review.
I'm all for optics if it's what somebody prefers and can shoot better. Sure must be a lot of people these days, though, with "failing eye sight." :-)
@@hickok45 I don't know about everyone else but, after getting my welding degree and doing a number of welding jobs my personal eye sight is failing and shooting is that one thing that has got me through the tough times and now I'm thinking about getting my eyes worked on. Until then I'm going to have to use every advantage possible. Maybe try shooting the optic without glasses 🤓
Thank you for showing the true dimensions of the Mako. I would stick with the 26 between the two.
The r7 is my carry gun. It's been great so far. It shoots as well as some of my full sizes. Price wise I got it for 450 without optic and bought tg3 ct1500 for 100. The only real difference is the optic ready comes with a moa5 and the one I bought is moa2. Which I like better
What i personally like is the bright orange front sight, very easy to pick up even on video 👍🏽
So glad to see you miss, I've been thinking you are some kinda cyborg. LOL just kidding, love your cannel and am in awe of your skills. And loved the Tucker video. I am torn on my next gun. I have a Hellcat and a Glock 19, I am thinking about the Mako or the Glock 26. Just got a Kimber Rapide Black Ice in 10mm that I haven't shot yet. We will see.
No go for me right off the bat. Kimber has always seemed interesting to me, just not enough to buy one. Too many others that are so good.
Dude. They break down just like a glock only the slide lifts up. Pretty dang easy to do.
The Bob Ross of Pew Pews
great comparison!
I traded in my Sig P365 XL for the Kimber R7 mako it’s a great gun I really love it
Nothing more reliable than a Glock. The Glock 19 is a great gun to carry if clothes allow. Have a Hellcat which is a pretty nice. Shot a p365 over the weekend and maybe switching. Thanks for showing the kimber
Finally, someone who is straightforward about using a Red Dot on a gun that is supposed to be for “concealed” carry.
I like that its manufactured at the new facility. Hopefully QC is better 🙏
Great 😃a gun video with the R7 mako crimsontraces removed
I'm about to order one of these tomorrow!!
Wife held it at Buds in Lexington in the blk/ Gray!! Guess I am gonna get it for her!!! Stay Safe and we love you guys!!!
Great review. I appreciate it.
God bless all here.
He didn’t want to review the mako. Lots of folks walked away from Kimber many years ago. Same people probably still drink bud light. Anyway it’s an awesome pistol, Kimber has awesome customer service. Do what you want.
Great video on the Mako...can y'all please consider doing a review on the new SA35 Hi Power reissue from Springfield Armory please???
I hope no one ever tries to rob a store that this man is in.
Hickok45 using blank rounds, that's a new one!😂
I can relate to how hard it is to break down I broke down a Ruger Mark 111- 22 and couldn’t put it back together how do you send it to Ruger to have them put it back together. I love my Beretta P-4 Storm, you gave it a good review, I’ve put over 2,000 rounds through it and it runs flawless. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺

Hey there Hickok, been watching your videos, mostly on my TV so I can’t comment, but would love to see a review on the Kimber Micro9 and Micro 380 at some point. Very interested in both of these. Even if it were perhaps in a comparison video with the Sig and may some other micro 9 1911’s. Thanks for considering it.
You have from watching it I would say the mako has a little more kick to it it's kind of hard to tell but it seems like a jump split more in your hand
"Those are blanks." Brilliant!
It's definitely on my list for one major reason. It's ambidextrous. I'm a lefty. None of the others are.
If you haven’t tried it yet, take a look at the Hogue grips for the P365 XL. I think you’ll like it.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't like optics on a conceal carry pistol. It's cool that manufacturers are offering it but I'd gladly take the same model without it being optics ready and maybe knock off the extra $75-100.
