Caracal F Full Size 9mm Pistol
with (2) 18rd Mags
The Caracal F is a modern semi-automatic pistol in 9x19. It holds an 18rd magazine (2 included) and boasts unique features such as a short 8mm trigger pull, extremely low profile slide and bore axis, the combined effect of which is greatly reduced "felt" recoil.

The Caracal pistol is a series of semi-automatic pistols manufactured by Caracal International L.L.C., a subsidiary of Tawazun Holding from the United Arab Emirates. Newly arrived on a competitive market, the Caracal pistol series are the first pistols made in the United Arab Emirates.

In 2007, Tawazun Holding L.L.C., the wholly owned subsidiary of the United Arab Emirates Offset Program Bureau (OPB), acquired the assets of Caracal International.

DEVELOPMENT:
In 2002, a team of European weapons' designers and experts working in conjunction with the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces started the development of a range of modern pistols and accessories. The research and development team was led by the Austrian firearms designer Wilhelm Bubits who previously designed the Steyr M pistol.

Before being put into production, the Caracal pistol was evaluated through independent tests. These tests were carried out by the Federal German Armed Forces Technical Center for Weapons and Ammunition (WTD 91) in Meppen, Germany, and included metallurgic and composite analysis, functional fitness-for-purpose and quality evaluation, endurance firing, environmental exposure, safety and accuracy tests. A certificate was issued by the Bundeswehr Technical Center for Weapons and Ammunition (WTD 91) in May 2006 after the pistol successfully complied with the NATO D14 standard, the German Federal Police Standard and the German Federal Armed Forces Technical Purchasing requirements. These tests are the most stringent test protocols devised for a service firearm.
