How to choose the best holster for your Kimber R7 Mako

A Kimber Mako R7 holster should match the pistol’s compact, optics-ready design with secure retention and real everyday comfort. The R7 Mako is built for modern concealed carry, so the holster needs to keep it stable against the body, protect the slide and optic, and allow a smooth, confident draw. With the right fit, this micro-compact carries naturally and stays ready whenever you need it.

This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best Kimber R7 Mako Shoulder Holster

Carry Options for Kimber R7 Mako holsters

Concealed carry

Compact and optic-ready, the R7 Mako shines in concealed carry roles. A well-fitted Kimber R7 Mako concealed carry holster should reduce printing and allow quick, consistent access. Comfort, concealment, and retention all play a role when carrying daily.

IWB Holsters

A Kimber R7 Mako IWB holster tucks inside your waistband, making it an ideal choice for discreet everyday carry. Look for slim, contoured designs that won’t dig into your side. Adjustable cant, ride height, and sweat guards enhance comfort and concealment. An IWB holster for Kimber R7 Mako should stay secure under movement and provide a clean, fast draw.

OWB Holsters

OWB holsters offer fast access and are great for range days or layered clothing. While less discreet, an Kimber Mako R7 holster OWB balances ease of use and comfort—especially when concealment isn't the top priority. Some users prefer this setup for its natural draw angle and all-day wearability.

Shoulder Holsters

A Kimber R7 Mako shoulder holster is a solid choice for those who prefer off-waist carry. It's especially useful when seated for long periods or when wearing jackets. These holsters distribute weight evenly and make for a smooth cross-draw.

Holsters with Optics

Optics-ready handguns need holsters built to accommodate their sight systems. A holster for Kimber R7 Mako with optics includes cutouts or raised channels to fit red dots without impacting retention. These designs ensure your optic stays protected while your draw remains quick and smooth.

 

Material Options for Kimber R7 Mako Holsters

Kimber R7 Mako Leather Holsters 

Leather holsters offer excellent comfort and durability, molding to your body and firearm over time for a snug, glove-like fit. Made from premium full‑grain or Italian leather, they provide natural retention and protection while softening with use—often becoming comfier than synthetic options.

Kimber R7 Mako Kydex Holsters 

Kydex holsters are ultra‑lightweight and rigid, offering precise, custom molding that securely retains your firearm—even under demanding conditions, without needing a break‑in period.

Kimber R7 Mako Nylon Holsters

Exactly what I ordered, just would rather the holster would pivot in the vertical position so I don't have the imprint of my gun pointing out the back of my coat. I learned my lesson to look more closely to what I am actually ordering. I will definitely count this against my own ignorance through inexperience. Just would rather my lesson wasn't so expensive.

Nice holsters. Both of mine I ordered took over three weeks to arrive. Strangely, both were shipped here to SC from Slovakia. Holster was shipped in a nice little box which included a cloth-type bag for protection. After the recommended "new leather holster break-in" process, my Kimber R7 Mako (No Optic, Cross-Draw) fit perfectly in them. I have Italian leather driving gloves that don't fit this well! Trigger is FULLY covered. I also purchased Craft's "Premium Holsters Care Kit". These are quality holsters that were obviously hand-made by skilled craftsmen who have been doing this for a while. They also have a stamp that says "Falco Holsters". The Craft Holsters website has several very helpful instructional videos that help demonstrating the proper "break-in" process. I am very happy with my purchase. I would use Craft Holsters again in the future!
