Caracal pistols. BEWARE!

[Edmond]

You better use eye protection. I heard this morning of a shooter who had a case flying straight to the eye like it happened to me. He was fortunately wearing protective goggles.

That came after I have had two calls from people who have tested the pistols they just received and experienced the same malfunctions I experienced with the batch of pistols I tested..

Interesting. I have no experience with the Caracal, but based on its design of shoving the bore axis as deep as possible into the frame like the Steyr M-series I'm guessing the extractor design is similar. I have quite a bit of experience with the Steyr, and since the extractor has to be canted up into the ejection port it can sometimes stick when the pistol is dirty(rubs harder against the slide), and it can fling casings upward and to the rear.

ANSI Z87-2 impact resistant polycarbonate lenses are your friend.

I'll beware the entire product line.

5 brand new pistols out of the box I tested plus 3 other cases I heard of within the last 48 hours....

That's fine on the range.
Might be an issue at 3am when you hear your backdoor being kicked in.
It'd suck to win the fight only to lose an eye because your pistol ejected a round into it.

Nice.

An empty shell casing cracked that lense? I have but my eye glasses through holy hell over the years and they have never cracked like that.

My Glock does the same thing. Kind of annoying...
