Caracal pistol
The Caracal pistol is a series of semi-automatic pistols manufactured by Caracal International LLC a subsidiary of Tawazun Holding from the United Arab Emirates.
In 2002, Austrian firearms designer Wilhelm Bubits who previously had designed the Steyr M pistol, began working with weapons experts from the United Arab Emirates, to develop a range of modern pistols and accessories. The collaboration led to the development of the Caracal pistol.
Due to issues with heat treatment of slides and improper quality control, the pistols had a tendency for catastrophic failures. Thus in October 2013 the original Caracal pistol line had to be delisted by the manufacturer.
On Sept. 9th, 2013 a recall was issued for all model C pistols made by Caracal stating:
Caracal is now issuing this recall of all Model C pistols in all markets, following the completion of a full investigation. Caracal is initiating this voluntary recall of Model C pistols because the safety of its customers is paramount.
This recall affects all Model C pistols, including but not limited to those with serial numbers which start with the following letters: HM, AA, AD, AG, CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CG, CH, CI, CJ, CK, CL, CM, CN, CP, CR and CS.
If you own or have access to a Caracal Model C pistol, PLEASE DO NOT LOAD OR FIRE YOUR PISTOL. Please contact Caracal customer care immediately to arrange to have your Model C pistol returned. Caracal will provide you with a full refund of the purchase price of your Caracal Model C pistol or vouchers for other Caracal products. Unfortunately, the potential safety issues cannot be addressed through a repair of the Model C pistol and all Model C pistols must be returned for refund.
In October 2016 Caracal USA announced that they will replace the recalled pistols with a Model F pistol upgraded with a redesigned trigger safety, trigger bar, firing pin unit.
