Nice! But... it's a nine.

I guess I missed this when I ran a search for the R7 Mako Kimber:

This may just check enough boxes to get me off the fence on getting a new 9 mm.

That’s a 9mm? Looks quite snappy in the video. +P+ ammo?

James seems to shoot it pretty well..... Appeared to be a well-rounded review.

Nah, not for me. I've had it with these itsy-bitsy, over-stuffed Micro 9 peestolas...I have had (and sold/traded) both the Sig P365 and the Hellcat and find them to be just too darn small for my hands. My G43X and 48 work fine for me; a tiny bit bigger than the Micros and yeah, only 10+1. Not gonna get the Shield Arms 15 rounders 'cause Glock makes super reliable mags, and reliability trumps capacity in my mind. They may be only 10+1, but I figure that's enough to get me out of the kill zone, as in breaking contact and hoofin' it outta there, or within eye gougin'/neck grabbin' range. It's funny in that I'm cool with a little 5+1 .38 Airweight Jaybird, but I can't consistently hit the floor with a fully-semi-auto Micro unless I drop it.

Plus...It's a Kimber, and memories and images of the early Solo still haunt me.

Is James the guy in the green T-shirt at the indoor range? He works out, so that probably factors into his ability to handle the Mako

All this too small stuff from a PPK man.
