I'm not sure - where is the date code, and how do you read it? Mine does not have the etching on the subframe like yours...

Hi!
You find the date on the slide http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...l/IMG_5306.jpg Got a friend on phone today, he is stationed in Middle East and training local forces using Caracal pistols mainly SN AZ XXX, they do not have the problems my batch had. |

Mine has the serial number on the barrel and slide, but not the same date code stamp as yours - I think I'll ask the factory when it was "born". My serial begins with BX.

Sounds like a "ejector" problem or week "extractor spring". Only time I had the same problem was with a Beretta PX4 Storm and light loads of 9mm. Was sending the cases straight back over the head. In my daughters case - down her cleavage. I'd (LOL) but it wasn't funny to her.

Yes, the factory said that they are no more than 6 months old right now.

Easy to know precisely when they were out with the sequential SN and their production capacity.
Places your pistol serie after they were so eager to find out what was wrong and tested frantically a few batches there.. The Saudi Special Forces have no problem with theirs either.. |
