Caracal Announces Upgraded Model F Replacements

A while back Caracal recalled their Model F pistols, and then a little later their Model Cs because of concerns about them not being totally drop-safe. You may recall our article on the Caracal Model F, from all the way back in RECOIL issue #5. Recently they announced the availability of Model F replacement pistols specifically for those affected by the recall. No doubt this means we'll also soon see them back on the shelves.

Caracal Announces Upgraded Model F Replacements

Here's what they have to say about it:

Caracal USA is pleased to announce the availability of Model F recall replacement pistols in the United States. Delivery of the Model F replacement pistol will be dedicated to those customers affected by the 2013 product recall.

The Caracal Model F has been subjected to upgrades including a redesigned trigger safety, trigger bar, firing pin unit and a machined one-piece Multi-Function Unit (MFU). These enhancements increase both the safety and durability of the Model F pistol, while maintaining the same overall ergonomics and exterior aesthetics.

Effective November 1, 2016 Caracal USA, LLC will move all recall and customer service operations to our Boise, Idaho offices.

If you are a customer affected by the previous Caracal Model F and C product recall and have opted to trade your Model F and/or Model C pistol for a Model F replacement pistol, please contact the recall center at recall@caracalusa.com or by phone at (208) 323-8727, Monday thru Friday, 8AM to 5PM MST.
