I've never been able to stick with a Glock due to the grip angle pointing high, and the circumference on the all of the G1-3 series.
The Caracal was one of the few new guns I've ever bought, as it impressed me that much. I had an early full-sized F-model. It felt better, pointed better, and had a superior trigger by far. It proved to have less muzzle-flip and be more accurate in my hands, also.
Mine had a 'straight-8' two-dot pattern, and the rear sight was part of the striker assembly/back-plate, as was described earlier. A fantastic safety feature in my eyes, was that the tail of the striker would protrude out of the backplate as you pressed the trigger. Thus, you could put the pad of your thumb there as you holstered, and clearly feel if there was any interference. Only the Ruger SR series, and the Walther PPS-M2 have this similar feature, AFAIK.
Anyhow, the gun went through THREE recalls. The Paki-incident referred to was a C-model compact, and they were the ONLY ones initially recalled. At the time, I thought it may be due to some weird combo of slide mass, velcoity, dwell-time, etc. vs. the full-sized F. Then, they came for all of the F-models, to....and I reluctantly sent mine in. I think it was like around 6 months wait for it's replacement. They comped me a hat, shirt, and two mags, IIRC. Then, I ended up selling mine to fund some other toy at the time, LOL. Shortly thereafter, I read of the death-blow recall of the whole series for full-refund.
Yes, I am waiting for the return of it, with the improvements I've read about.
