ok searched around and the last post i found was pretty "emotionally involved" about this pistol... well some time has past and i wanted to see if anyone really shot one?!?!

 

i am biased in know way towards this pistol the only reason why i ask is since SHOT i have seen realistically 5-6 videos or articles RAVING in love with this gun....

 

i will use some loose quotes from the last post i read but basically that who needs another black plastic centerfire pistol and wanted to know with some time passed if it still stands true or is it worth a look or at least some respect!

 

 

once again not biased at all just curious so you dont have to waste your time "un-selling" me from a gun lol

I'll probably see JJ shooting his in a few months when it warms-up a little. I'll ask to shoot it then. He LOVES his, I KNOW that for sure!

I wanted one, but no one stocks them and I don't want to buy it blind.

Yea id love to hear purely outta curiosity

 

 

I think Maksim fired one and liked it ... hope he can confirm

Just based off of reviews and price alone this gun would be my next purchase ... Haven't seen any though.

Haven't shot one. From what I have read and heard, the early ones had issues. Haven't read anything negative about them for a while. The man that designed this, Wilhelm Bubits, was involved in the design of the Glock and sole designer of the Steyr M-A1.

 

Both the Steyr and the Caracal have superior ergonomics over the Glock. Both have very low bore centers, contributing to better muzzle control (less flip).

 

When I bought my Steyr was when the Caracal was having its issues, so it was eliminated from consideration. Even today, I think I'd still choose the Steyr over the Caracal based on location of manufacture and known quality of other products the company produces. Caracal was smart in having their product promoted through competition, and JJ is great ambassador for their product - but the fact remains he gets paid (in some form) to use their product. Look closely at what's out there.

 

Adios,

Yea, you can tell that if you took the styer and the caracal and put them side by side they would be very similar dimensions and ergonomics...

The caracal looks a lil girly and the styer looks more like a MANS gun lol

Wasn't there some kind of recall on the Caracals?

The recall notice...

Good guns. Yes, JJ shoots one... but for guys like JJ and other gifted USPSA shooters... he will be good with a Hi-Point too.
