Steyr M & Caracal Pistols Advice please
Please, if yall got an experience in either of these guns let me know. I want a "wonder 9mm/.40 S&W/.357 Sig/.45 ACP". These are from the future, Doc. Got to be ambidextrous, light slim, small, good sights, higher capacity, good ergonomics, smooth frame, good trigger, and well made. This might be the answers to my quest.

The newest issue of Combat Handguns (Nov 2012) does a good report on the Caracal F. I own a C model with quick sights. I enjoy it because of its ergonomics & sweet trigger. It is definitely a keeper! And you can't beat the price. I bought mine through Gallery of Guns. I also own a Glock 26 and a S&W model 669. All 3 of these semi's have their good points. I'm not the type of guy to say "sell all your pistols and buy only the Caracal". I enjoy shooting the Glock & the 669 as well. However, the Caracal, in my opinion, will be a dominating best seller.
In that same magazine, they do a report on the Taurus 24/7 G2. The reviewer doesn't hold back with his dislike of its trigger. At the time I came across the Caracal, I was looking at the 24/7 G2.

Saw one and messed with it at the LGS. Appears very well made and has a light trigger. Very "slick" looking.
My issue would be. it's imported, who services them?? and I believe it is only a one year warranty.
Caracal

Anyone have first hand experience with those sights ? Supposed to be "the bigger - the better" for sight radius, what was the rationale to make it half of what was possible ?

They are available in with regular sights or quick sights for point shooting.
Check my links on T.T.A.G. I have looked everywhere in S.E. LA; no one has one.
Centerfire Systems, Inc. - Your Home For Ammo, Firearms, Magazines, and Gun Accessories
has full and compact models at $399.99 and free shipping.
FFL transfer seems in order soon...
or maybe Beretta PX-4 compact DAO model.
I cannot find any info about warranty.
