Caracal Series Pistols In Canada?

[gwhysow]

I know we would be needing an extended (please stop with the regular extensions, they're ugly as sin) barrel, but is there any word on these pistols making their way here?

Next to the beautiful HK P7 series pistols, this seems to have great ergos and axis/bore.

Any info would be grand.

If I heard correctly, they had some issues and they're even pulling out of the US market until they fix them...look it up.

I did see a video of one blowing up in a guy's hand - no thanks.

I was curious about the Caracal too until I found out where it comes from.

Now that it's been revealed that they self-destruct, I have 2 reasons not to ever get one.

I've seen vids of just about every polymer firearm blasting off. The concerns with the C-model were warranted, but I still see some great features. UAE means little to me if the design (same as Steyr M) and production are top notch. If only HK would just re-release the P7.

I can't find it right now, but I'm pretty sure it was in Asia, as always it could have been ammo, but I didn't like the way it handled the overpressure.
