I noticed in the scant literature I've read about the Caracal that it mentions a "roller pin" as being one of the big differences between it and the Steyr M series.

What is a roller pin?

I googled Caracal and "roller pin" and came up with nothing. Not really sure what that would be.

Perhaps you could cite your source on this? The Caracal is held together by roll pins (see my disassembly thread) - a design that is not shared in common with the Steyr pistols.

You would also have read that the newest import Steyr pistols have a new "roll pin" trigger, which describes a slight modification to the trigger design. On the newest M-A1 and S-A1 series pistols, Steyr added a bearing in the slide to make the trigger more consistent; this bearing is held in place by a roll pin through the slide. These new "roll pin" trigger Steyr pistols are generally regarded as more desirable, as they come with a "better" trigger.

I reread everything and I think you're right, I just wasn't putting it all together. S
sometimes I think I'm senile.

Thank you.
