I realize I've not been on this forum in a while, but I guess I really missed something!
What the H is a Caracal? And why all the posts on here about it? I've never heard of it before, and by the volume of posts about it (and all the variants available), evidently it's been around for a long time.
Is there a tutorial available about this gun, and the differences between the variants?
I'd like to learn more, as evidently this gun has quite a following!! I'm completely taken by my Steyrs so far (M40 and S40), and I'm on the hunt for a C9 now!! :drool:
And in addition to Syntax bro's very inspiring review and the source behind my own purchase, here you go from this part of the world, my personal review of the C-Q.S:
We have so many posts around here because it is the latest thing to come out of the workshop of Wilhelm Bubits, the creator of the Steyr M and S series pistols. If you like the Steyr series handguns, you're almost guaranteed to love the Caracals - they are very similar, but a bit more refined and robust.
All of the pistols I have seen from domestic users (even in pictures) are stamped WW. I have no idea what the current status is of the company, but it sounds like there is bad blood between Caracal and WW, and I believe WW had a contract w/ Caracal that they can use to lock them out of the States for awhile. I will be surprised if we see any more guns hit our shore with their stamp for awhile, but who knows? I do believe Caracal has every intention of marketing their product here in the States, but it seems like a tricky process to actually get them imported. It is my hope that WW will resume importation or some other company will pick up where they left off, but who can say what the future holds?

Best of luck, you're making a right choice. The Caracal's have been perfected to the extent, from where it is hardly possible to do any more perfections, else than cosmetic details, like the backstraps, slide release lever, etc.
Let us hear from you.
Best of luck.
Regards.
