How to choose the best holster for your Kimber R7 Mako

The Kimber R7 Mako is built for modern, concealed carry, optics-ready, compact, and packed to the brim with desireable features. In short, it's just the pistol you want in a self-defence scenario and an overall very good pistol in general. However, what you carry your Kimber R7 Mako in, is as important as the pistol itself. Choosing the best holster for Kimber R7 Mako starts with your preffered carry style and lifestyle you lead. Consider how much you move, what you wear, where you spend most of your time, how often you intend to carry as well as your preffered draw position to make the best suited choice possible. Whether you're looking for a high-retention option or a soft leather model, your holster should offer a secure fit, protect the trigger, and stay comfortable throughout the day.

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!
