Seen it before but never noticed the foregrip on that one.
I guess it would be my choice on the feel of the quality of attaching it. If it felt loose or unsecured i wouldn't use it. I also couldn't imagine using all that much force on the foregrip when using the shoulder stock.
just my opinion.

Get over it. I own glocks, Steyr's and would love to own this one.
Fact is, i don't care for the angle or the wierd BUMP at the bottom of the glock grip.
But you make it a point to find another post of mine to bump this and take a little jab?...
Idiot...

I apologize for calling you an Idiot... I just don't understand why someone would follow my posts trying to find a contradiction.
I also don't like when someone trys to lump 1 group of people together.

I'm not "following your posts". Have you seen all my posts in this thread? I've been reading it since the beginning.

hardly any muzzle flip...
Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I'm seeing there are only two models available: a full-size (F) and a compact (C). I haven't seen or read anything about a thinner sub-compact model. Can someone fill us in?
I think this pistol looks really neat, but I still feel that the Steyr M9/40-A1 looks much better. Considering they were designed by the same guy, I'd be willing to bet they handle very similarly.

Ok..looks like there is a SC model that was introduced last year. Found some good info on Wikipedia:
"The Caracal SC has been introduced at the IDEX 2009 exhibition on 22 February 2009. The SC model has a reduced length, height and is technically somewhat different compared to the other Caracal pistols. The manufacturer markets the SC model as a primary weapon for government professionals who must conceal a handgun for job related situations, or as a secondary back up pistol.[1] According to Caracal's managing director Hamad Khalifa Al Neyadiof, the new SC sub-compact model has fewer screws giving a smooth surface, allowing for a more efficient assembly and a better quality build. The SC model can also use the larger detachable box magazines of the C and F models, giving a magazine capacity of up to 18 rounds of 9 mm ammunition.[11] According to Jane's the SC model has a separate safety switch located beneath the trigger guard, rather than on the trigger itself. A special grip adapter that has been developed for the Caracal SC has to be used for using the larger magazines from other 9 mm Caracal weapons. The SC model also has a solid synthetic striker, resulting in reduced manufacturing costs and a very smooth action. The synthetic unit will be introduced to the F and C series later this year.[12] The SC magazines are offered with a standard flat bottom or a slightly developed magazine with a finger rest for extra grip.[1]"
Sounds like there is some sort of external safety switch underneath the trigger guard on the SC variant. I don't know if this is a passive or active type safety. It wouldn't make much sense to put a manual safety on a sub-compact model that is intended for concealed carry. At least I don't like manual safeties on my carry weapons...
The "synthetic striker" also sounds bad to me. I don't know how a plastic striker/firing pin is supposed to hold up. It mentions that the synthetic striker reduces manufaturing cost. Cutting corners is never a good thing IMO. I guess we'll see.
