Took some time to shoot pics of my Caracal today.

The Caracal is not exactly what I'd call photogenic. It's hard to get it to look nice in photos with the near non-descript look and lack of interesting textures on the gun. It took a bit of lighting setup and composition to get it to look appealing to me visually.

Here are a couple of images. The images were shot with a Nikon DSLR with a 50mm lens and 2 studio strobes.

Just some notes:

Yes, clicking the images will take you to my blog where I have more pics.
No, I am not harvesting your click for advertising. There is no advertising on my blog. I don't make money from the blog. I will keep most of the content in my blog because I like to have my reports and posts accessible from various forums and I really like to control how the page looks.

Feel free to post more images of Caracals on this thread. I do request that the images be ones you took or ones you own copyright to.

i like this the best for lighting (compared to the other 3). the problem with point-and-shoots is not so much image/picture quality but the use of the terrible built-in flash which is just too harsh...

that sony's pretty good on it's own...

i shoot the same no matter what i use (dslr, point-and-shoot and camera phones)... i shoot things with as soft a light as possible...

the "need a better camera" is a common misconception i encounter when i teach photography... then i show them what can be done with the crappy camera on an old nokia mobile phone...

I love outshooting people with POS camera's while they have 3k+ cameras.

Then I'll get my 50d out and have even more fun with them. haha.

I have some still life photo's that are from a 1.3 megapixle camera, they are amazing.

3.2 megapixle camera phone
Crappy camera on the phone too.

Every new picture of a caracal on here makes me want one that much more.

The looks of them are really growing on me.

You ought to just give in now - save yourself the heartache. They are incredible pistols, and absolutely unbeatable at the price point.

 

[Talyn]

I have like 200 dollars till I get any more money.

50 dollar ticket and 100 dollars for my cell phone bill.

my c9-a1 was a "cannot afford but getting anyways" purchase.
I'm very very happy with it.

i personally don't like how the caracal look... but after test firing the F QS, there was no way i was going home without it...

do a test fire... it's a hell of a lot more effective than pretty pictures...

That is so true. I wasn't the least bit excited to receive my first Caracal F - it just looked boring. I was taken aback when I first opened the case - pictures really do not convey the quality and subtleties of the design.

 

[Talyn]

Does anyone here have a C9-A1 and a Caracal?

I really want to know the thoughts on the similarities to the triggers.

From what I'm reading it seems as if the triggers are the same.

I need to find somebody with an M&P Shield to compare it with as well.

Its true that Caracals are not going to take home the prize for beauty. But they shoot so well that i don't care so much what they look like. I think the HK P30 is one of the cooler looking pistols. But the trigger doesn't feel half as agreeable as a Caracal.

Looks are a second kind of cool.

Function over form.
So, if it has function and Form.
..
There we go. 2nd kind of cool.

I bought my c9-a1 on looks though, I'll admit it.

The Caracal vs the Shield is not even close trigger wise. Caracal is by far the best "stock" trigger I have used.

Peace

You've tried both?

Lots of trigger snobs really raving about the Shield.

A guy on youtube is going to shoot my C9-A1 and post it, he's shot a shield too.

I'm really interested in what he has to say. He's shot a lot of different weapons.

 

[Okie67]

I shot the Shield a alot a few days ago and it does have an excellent trigger.I would still pick the Caracal over it.
