Kimber Car Mount Guide: Micro 9, Mako, Ultra Carry, Pro Carry
Kimber car mount guide: magnetic, model-specific mounts for the Micro 9, Mako R7, Mako 380, Ultra Carry II, Ultra Pro, Pro Carry and Ultra Raptor II.
Kimber builds a lot of different pistols under a few familiar names. The 1911-pattern Ultra and Pro series, the pocket-size Micro 9 and the striker-fired Mako all carry differently, and none of them share a slide. That is why a Kimber car mount has to be chosen by exact model, not by brand.
Below are the seven Kimber models At The Ready makes mounts for, with the price of each, plus the optic question, placement and a no-drill install.
Key takeaways
- At The Ready makes separate magnetic mounts for the Kimber Micro 9, Mako R7, Mako 380, Ultra Carry II, Ultra Pro, Pro Carry and Ultra Raptor II.
- The Ultra Carry II, Ultra Pro and Ultra Raptor II each have their own mount, as do the Mako R7 and Mako 380.
- Each Kimber mount is $95, or $105 optic-ready.
- Install with the included screws, or the VHB tape over primer, and keep the mount clear of airbags.
Seven Kimber Models, Seven Mounts
Kimber’s lineup is on Kimber’s website. At The Ready shapes each mount from that model’s actual slide:
| Your pistol | At The Ready mount | Standard | Optic-ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kimber Micro 9 | Micro 9 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Kimber Mako R7 | Mako R7 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Kimber Mako 380 | Mako 380 mount | $95 | $105 |
| Kimber Ultra Carry II | Ultra Carry II mount | $95 | $105 |
| Kimber Ultra Pro | Ultra Pro mount | $95 | $105 |
| Kimber Pro Carry | Pro Carry mount | $95 | $105 |
| Kimber Ultra Raptor II | Ultra Raptor II mount | $95 | $105 |
The three Ultra models are the easy ones to mix up. Each has its own mount, so read the slide markings before you order. Same for the Mako R7 and Mako 380. If your Kimber is not in the table, call At The Ready at (469) 304-8535. All Kimber mounts are listed on one page.
How the Mount Holds a Kimber
Rare-earth magnets sit inside a premium ABS body designed from the specific slide. Set the pistol in and it stays put over bumps and turns, grip facing you, in the same position every drive. The mount holds the pistol itself, not a holster, and the trigger guard remains open. Keep your finger outside it until you intend to fire.
Owners who run a light or another accessory should contact At The Ready to ask about clearance before ordering.
Optic-Ready: Mako Yes, 1911 Maybe
The Mako R7 and Mako 380 are built for a red dot, and plenty of Micro 9 owners add one. If your pistol carries an optic, or will, choose “Optic: Yes” for the optic-ready version at $10 more. The 1911-pattern Ultra and Pro pistols are more often run with iron sights, so the standard mount is the usual pick there.
An optic-ready selection does not by itself confirm clearance for lights or other accessories. The optic-ready gun mount guide explains when it matters.
Placement in a Car or Truck
The compact Kimbers fit almost anywhere. The side of the center console is the first spot most people try; the lower dash is second. Hold your empty pistol there from your normal seat, take a full grip and make sure nothing blocks the draw. Stay clear of the knee airbag area and the pedals.
See the truck gun mount placement guide for pickups and the car gun mount guide for sedans and SUVs. If the grip sits against your leg, the angled mount adapter ($14.99) tilts it away.
Installing the Mount
Each mount ships with screws, VHB tape and primer. In a vehicle, use the screws, or use the tape with the primer; tape alone does not hold on textured plastic. The no-drill gun mount guide shows the tape method, and the installation page has a two-minute video.
Make It Yours
Black is the standard base, with 25 colors to choose from and up to 18 characters of custom text, all included. Every mount is made in Wylie, Texas, by a veteran-owned company, and carries a lifetime warranty.
Safety and the Law
A mount is not locked storage. When you leave the vehicle, take the pistol or lock it up. Practice the draw unloaded until it is automatic, and check the carry laws wherever you drive.
