( for those who were saying ' dafuq he talking about? ' )

Www.centerfiresystems.com.

I haven't seen them locally though .

They look pretty interesting, although I don't think I could find myself buying a firearm made in the UAE. Just sayin

Pass on this one. Caracal brought the hottest wimminz to SHOT, with my assumption being to take your mind off the crap that they were trying to pass off as a quality firearm.

Caracal... because the world really needs another black plastic centerfire pistol.

 

*shrug*

If you want a black plastic centerfire pistol, get a Glock.

If you want a really good black plastic centerfire pistol, get an M&P.

If you want to pay $300 more than the Glock for the same quality and reliability, get an H&K.

 

There are so many options out there, I don't see the *need* for yet another duty-sized black-plastic pistol.

 

IMHO, the three most interesting pistols that have come out recently are the Sig P250, Ruger LCR and the Beretta NANO. Both of those guns are game-changers. The Caracal is a "Me Too" with the added bonus of not being able to swap or adjust your sights since they are built right into the frame. I just can't get excited about this gun.

 

BTW, I would add Charter Arms to that list of "Most Interesting" pistols with the addition of their "rimless revolver" or "Pit Bull," but I have yet to see one in 9mm, so its use is limited.

This should get the war drums beating.

This should get the war drums beating.

 

Heck, am I wrong? I'm not trying to get any war drums beating. The Glock 19 is the Honda Accord of striker fired firearms. It's a fine pistol, but I can think of only two companies right now that re genuinely innovating - one is Ruger, who seems to drop a revolutionary new product roughly every six minutes (who doesn't want a takedown 10/22?) the other is Kel Tec, who has been innovating for years now, and whose KSG displays genuine outside the box thinking... if you can find it.

 

I would call the NANO innovative due to its internal modular frame - it's everything a single stack Glock is supposed to be except that it exists and the Glock single stack 9mm never will because "Das Glock est Perfection, ihre hand ist das problem!"

 

So this upstart from the UAE comes along and introduces a striker-fired pistol with a rail and a low bore-axis. I don't see anybody tossing their Glocks away for this one unless the UAE makes their local police and military units use it. I'm not sure what the Civilian laws for gun ownership are in the UAE (I think Kuwait and Saudi are fairly permissive) but there may be a civilian market there. But I just can't see much to get excited about with this pistol.

 

 

LoL.. I figured someone had to say it.

 

Really though, I can understand the above argument if it pertains to your first and only handgun, but theres nothing wrong with adding a little variety to your safe.Quality and reliability should always be a factor, but if glock is the end all be all, thankfully they have an extensive product line to purchase from.

 

It wouldnt bother me to have another black plastic centerfire, or pick up another steel SA/DA handgun. to reiterate there is nothing wrong with a little variety even if the base design is similar to other more notable handguns.

When I made my comment, I should've put into brackets that I agreed.

That Caracal has some interesting lines. The upper reminds me of a HK P7.

Yes!

 

and NO!!!!!

Check out the Steyr M9, M-A1, and S-A1. Designed by the same Austrian ex-Glock engineer who did the Caracal.

The Glock 19 is the Honda Civic of striker fired firearms.

 

Fixed that for you

Take that as a no, we don't know of any place that has them in stock.

pizza bob had the styer version of this gun and had lots of good things to say about it. the steyr has good looks but to me style wise the caracal looks like the female version of the steyr, looks dainty..

Rob pincus has two they lend out to people for classes to evaluate. He spoke highly of them.
