Caracal pistols. From the hots sands of Middle East

[mrnyman]

THe Caracal metal Guns are based on the Swiss sphinx guns , dont know about this polymer one though, looks good though, cant wait for edmond to come back from the range.

Interesting to see a pistol made in the UAE. It has a Steyr look to it. As I look it up, it turns out that the research and development team was led by the Austrian firearms designer Wilhelm Bubits who previously had designed the Steyr M pistol. They are working on a 5.7 version which would be great since only the FN FiveSeven is the only handgun chambered for it.

If these pistols sell well, it would be nice to see threaded barrels available to add a can. FN is taking off, maybe these guys can compete.

I had a lot of fun defeating the rate of digital cameras shooting in burst between 3.7 and 5.2 pictures per second while staying in the A zone of an IPSC target @12 meters.

You never forget some things once you learned them.

I did have some serious reliabilty problems with a F and a C, Failure to feed, Failure to fire, erratic ejection and slide stop was locking before magazines were empty. 18 incidents with the 155 first rounds using NATO ammo, FN mfg then I switched to Sellier & Bellot, CBC (MagTech) and MFS commercial ammo and I had less problem.
I identified the causes, I will take 3 more F pistols to the range tomorrow, I have a competition during the weekend. I'll take the risk using one of them for Vitesse Militaire event ( Service pistol CISM Rapid Fire )
I'll make a more complete report later.

Tomorrow's batch for a day at the range.

Are you using a live round as an ear plug?

[Edmond]

E.A.R silicone plugs with decompression valve, always in my pocket.
I was the only one able to be close to firecrackers during Chinese New Year and I shot wonderful pictures

Ah, interesting, do you think they work as well as regular plugs? The NRR is lower but I know that can be misleading with gunshot noise.

I'll quit being off topic after this post.

When will the world realize that the polymer pistol craze is simply a fad, whose time is nearing an end

Nice pics, and nice report Edmond!

They work great and they are very comfortable, I add an electronic earmuff only when shooting big bore with muzzle brakes.

I was happy I had them in my pocket last February

dude thats awesome, it has an optional butt stock and foregrip, plus it looks like it was a short height on the "upper" like the p7
