Default Has anyone here owned or handled a Caracal 9mm?

I was offered a full size Caracal in a trade. I have never heard of this brand. Internet reviews are generally positive; however, the Caracal appears to be priced equal or higher than many name brand models. I would not keep the thing, I have a wheelbarrow load of 9mm pistols already.

Exactly which model of Caracal? The early ones had issues to the point all the C models were recalled and the F and SC variants discontinued.

The Caracal I was offered is the version with the quick sights installed. This was too odd for my tastes, and I felt it was difficult to use. I walked away from it.

The trader also considered it a $600.00 handgun, which I disagreed with his assessment.
