Ever toured a gun factory? A few companies invite the public on guided tours, but walking the factory floor is something normally not done by people outside of the company’s employ. Recently, I was offered the chance to tour the manufacturing facility where Double Tap Defense pistols are made. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity.
I was given unexpected latitude in exploring the facility and photographing the production process. The photos and information in this article are from that factory tour.
Caracal announced today a recall of every C model pistol the company has ever made. The recall is not limited to any specific serial numbers or market.
The safety issue(s) with the Caracal C cannot be fixed according to information released by the company. No guns will be repaired and/or returned to the purchaser. Caracal is offering a full refund of the original purchase price or vouchers for other Caracal products.
Caracal appears to have shaken up the entire product line. Some guns are out, while other new guns are now being shown. Here is a quick break down of all of the changes, along with links to detailed information on each of the new guns.
In the handgun category, the old “F” and “C” pistols appear to have changed names, and the addition of a sub-compact pistol to the line has appeared. They are the CP660 (full size), CP661 (compact) and CP662 (subcompact) pistols. All three of these guns are chambered in the 9mm.
