About the Gun

Caracal claims their polymer-framed pistol, designed by a team led by Austrian Wilhelm Bubits, is the most simple in the world with a total of just 28 parts. Most of those parts are contained in a modular unit that pulls out of the polymer frame. The internal rails travel nearly the whole length of the slide to avoid frame flex and promote accuracy. The metal magazine holds 18 rounds of 9mm ammo. The magazine catch is ambidextrous, and there is no manual safety or decocker. The trigger incorporates a Glock-style safety which combines with two other internal safeties to make the gun drop safe. The loaded chamber indicator looks similar to the Walther P99 type. There is no magazine safety, so the Caracal will fire a chambered round with its magazine removed.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.
