From the UAE: http://www.caracal.ae/
I like the low bore axis, they remind me of the Steyr M-series pistols.

I handled them at SHOT Show this past January though I have yet to shoot one.

The OEM trigger is nicer than most other plastic guns that I have tried but I was underwhelmed with the rest of it.

IMO it's an OK firearm but I don't feel that it brings anything new to the over-saturated polymer pistol market.

Just to be the devil's advocate, are you a bit concerned about supporting a foreign weapons industry in a country that will only be our ally as long as we pump money into it?

No, more concerned how the pistol shoots.

If you are going to go down that path...........
How many of you own a Hyundai? They have been supporting Iran for years.
Same for BP, GE and .......well you get my drift.

I imagine it would handle a lot like the steyr m-series except for the goofy sights. The parent company has ties to steyr. It got the short barrel model an overall rating of "B" and the 4" barrel model a "B+" in my September 2012 gun tests magazine

I am definitely interested in this pistol especially for the price. I got my brother a Steyr M or C series pistol I cannot remember but definitely reminds me of it. I did not like the Steyr until I opened it up and held it, I did not want to give it up to him for his B-day.
