New from the United Arab Emirates: Caracal C Pistol

Okay, so maybe “Born In The USA” isn’t quite the anthem for this pistol, but RF and I both thought the 9mm Caracal C was one of the most impressive handguns we fired today. It’s a polymer-framed striker-fired semi-auto with a 15-round magazine, manufactured in the United Arab Emirates. Yeah. The U.A.E. Never heard of that before? You’re not alone; neither had we.

This shows the Quick Acquisition Sight System: a deep-channel notch positioned forward of the ejection port. It’s hump makes the Caracal’s slide look like the fuselage of a Sopwith Camel, but amazingly it works.

The Caracal C has passed the stringent acceptance requirements of the German police and military, and it shot amazingly well for both of us today. We didn’t get a firm MSRP, but it’s promised to be less than $500.

We’re really looking forward to getting one of these for testing and evaluation. Here’s a little more Gun Porn:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRVJgA-ppb8&feature=youtu.be
