While this channel is dedicated to firearms and EDC gear I will be exploring other areas of everyday carry, prepping, and occasional 2nd Amendment issues. Additional items that I will be discussing include EDC bags, flashlights, knives, multitools, pen, wallets, key organizers, pry tools, functional clothing, watches, electronics, and much more.

About time someone uploads a video with the 15 round mags 👏🏾

I bought the same deal but because I live in Rhode Island I gotta deal with 10 rd capacity law.Mine is the 2 tone black and grey. I love it's look and it's not a bad shooter for a sub compact.

[@paulclaveloux6771]

Hello, Humble Southpaw! Quick question for you, have you had any issues with the gun ejecting rounds while utilizing a thumbs forward grip? Thanks!

[@thehumblesouthpaw]

No, I have not - Yes, it is possible. However, if you maintain a well-disciplined thumb forward grip it won’t be an issue. The Mako provides excellent texture and ample thumb rest space on their frame.
I worked at range for years and most failures to extract (with the ejection port on top of the slide) occurred when someone allowed their thumb to start rising and resting on slide - preventing the slide from recoiling properly.
With the Mako, the difference is a southpaw will block ejection port causing issues, but a right-handed person will still cause the same issue if they rest their thumb on the slide.

Does your 15 round mag have a wire sticking out on the bottom? If so what is the purpose of it?

[@thehumblesouthpaw]

Is the base plate missing?

[@richardmontoya3449]

No the base plate is on I bought two new 15 round mags and the both have a bent wire on the bottom of the plate

[@thehumblesouthpaw]

Is the bent wire inside the slot on the bottom of the magazine base? If so, that is how you remove extended mag base to replace for a new 3-round extension or flat base making it a 13-round magazine. I have not played with replacing magazine bases on the Kimber - I am not sure how their system works. Will definitely look into it and make video. I hope this is helpful.
