Regardless and to the topic, I've seen several reviews, but I don't see what the hubbub is about these pistols. Sevreral reviewers have noted these feel substantially more advanced that existing "plastic" guns. However, can someone detail what separates them from Glock, S&W, etc?

Compared to the M&P---the trigger. People spend $100 or more on Apex parts to get a decent trigger and even with the Apex kit the trigger on this gun is still better than what you'd end up with (by a good bit) XDs---much lower bore axis and softer shooting. Trigger again as well. But, in the end all of the guns above are good guns (I have them all) and all will serve you well. It's personal preference in the end I suppose.

these caracal pistols are intriguing....the only thing that worries me is aftermarket support...not really customization type support, but what if something breaks support...are spare parts available??
id much rather spend 399 and get this than spend 550 on a glock that will have a worse trigger... on a side note i wish they would come out with the SC because i think it would be a nice little brother to my ppq which i love... |

Well said. One clarification however. The F model is 18+1, the C is 15+1.

I bought a C model and shot it with various loads. It replaced my M&P 40c as my carry gun. I found all of the pluses mentioned above apply.

I agree with Johns list, its a to 6-to-6 tie with Glock by my read.
Not yet enough to sway me tho. If they're still around in 15 years. Wouldnt mind seeing the accessory rail disappear. I really am trying to like this gun, its a good looking pistol, except for the rear view (see page 1 here). I'd like to come across a rental to shoot and examine here in STL. I would probably JUMP on a PM9-sized single stack from them at $400... in a flash. (German or not) |

For me, tinkerer that I am, the roll pins are a pretty serious negative. Not only are they metric, at least one of them is a nonstandard length which means it's nearly impossible to get unless Caracal USA stocks them. For most gun owners, it's a total non-issue because they'll never take their gun apart past the field strip level. One other thing I forgot in my other list is that the trigger seems to have very little or no overtravel which I find, in general, to be a big positive when shooting pistols.
