    Caracal 9mm

    Anyone ever tried one of these? Kind of a Glock clone made in UAE. They look really nice. I do not see them on the DOJ approved list though.

    I have heard mixed reviews about the pistol. First reports spoke of jam issues. I hear nothing but praises from some and complaints from others. I'd like to get a hold of one and give it a try. I like the features and the price point very much. I think a few of our out of state Calgunners have one. Hopefully they will chime in.

      I've held a few, never shot or dry fired. Would like to shoot one. Wouldn't buy one personally because I prefer to buy platforms which are easy to get mags for.

        I've been interested in these pistols too, however I doubt we'll see them in this state. In fact due to all the recalls, we might not see this gun for awhile anywhere.

          The Caracal is a "product improved" version of the Steyr M series.

          The few Caracals that were imported into the USA have been recalled due to safety/malfunction issues.

            Had a couple at our range and it seemed to shoot pretty good.. ergo is phenominal.. no malfunctions for the one that got shot ...

              Maybe it's just me but there is no freaking way I'd ever buy any product from a middle eastern country other than Israel. Those countries aren't known for their production standards or high quality products.

                From an owner in pakistan, he was injured.

                The Caracal pistol pictured above KABOOMed a few months ago in Pakistan.Not normally seen in the catastrophic failure of pistols is a slide splitting in two.It is not uncommon for a cheap zinc-alloy, aka “pot metal”, slides on budget pistols to crack and eventually break over time, but not steel slides.

                  IIRC, he was using Chinese ammo also.
