I handled one at a gunshop and thought they were about $200 overpriced. Terrible ergos, loose fit, cheap feeling.
You can buy a Springfield XD Essential package for a little less and to say the XD is superior is an understatement. IMHO.
the unit must've issues...
the ones i fired had excellent fit and finish, fired well and felt great (F QS = 50 rds, F SS = 50 rds, C SS 100 rds)... so much so, i ordered the F QS right there and then...
the last few weeks, i've been in search of a 9mm pistol... tried the glock 17 (stock and modded), glock 19 (stock and modded), hs9 (springfield xd in the US), sti gp6, sti gp6c, armscor mapp1 (tanfoglio force 99 polymer), armscor map1 (tanfoglio force 99), taurus 24/7 g2 (my wife liked and got this), bersa thunder pro 9, cz shadow, armscor 1911-based 9mm and a few others...
to give each a fair shake, i shot between 50 to 100 rounds for each pistol firing from 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m (where possible)... took time to read the manual and learn the controls and handling of each... then tried to operate all controls the way i'd do in a shooting situation...
of all the pistols i tried, the caracal F QS was the only 1 that had me wanting to take it home from the 1st time i fired it...
