I see they have a US plant but can't find any of their pistols in stock.  Anyone have a new Caracal?

If memory serves, that consortium got the pants sued off of them by HK due to patent infringement for the Bundeswehr rifle tender, and they lost.

I imagine they don't have the best of liquidity for production as a result.

I'm looking for info on their pistols, but I thought that was Haenel?  I believe one of the engineers that worked at HK, then Sig, then Caracal so it's possible.

I could be very wrong, but figured your thread could use the bump as well.

I think I've seen 1, possibly 2 of their pistols in my life.

Didn’t Caracal have a substantial recall at some point?

Yes some years ago.

Funny timing on this, I just stumbled across an old note pad they handed out as SWAG at SHOT 2012 that I never used.

Yep, the entire line of Caracal Model C pistols were recalled in 2013 for a “trigger issue”

Which was nonexistant, and sadly they quit making the compact entirely after that. I still have one of the original imports with the "Quick Sights" and it's a great little gun, possibly the best "rolling break" striker trigger ever made.
