Our friend, and National Sales Manager, Jeff Spalding, unveiled Caracal’s new firearm offerings at SHOT Show this year after an evaluation of the company’s products and an important merger. The two main firearms that survived this evaluation and were deemed viable for the US market are the CP Series Pistol and the CS 308 Precision Rifle.
 
Last year, Jeff came out to the range and allowed ADAPT staff to try out the “OG” Caracal pistol – the C series. We had a blast shooting that smooth handgun with almost zero perceptible recoil. We’re hoping we can convince Jeff to come back and bring these two new kids on the Caracal block sometime soon.
 

 
Caracal CS 308 Precision Rifle

 
Caracal’s entry into the high end precision rifle market, the CS 308 is manufactured from aerospace grade aluminum, available in .308, 338 or 50 caliber and features very light recoil with almost zero muzzle rise due to the muzzle break manufactured specifically for this rifle.  Some of the cooler features are the adjustable, spring-loaded comb on the butt stock and customizable rake adjustment, length of pull and weight of the second stage of the trigger. This is a very adaptable firearm for any shooter with guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy. (Sub-MOA means accuracy exceeding one “minute of angle” or 1/60th of 1 degree; i.e. a 10 inch grouping at 1,000 yards.)
 
Caracal CP Series Pistol

The second generation of the caracal pistol, the 9 mm CP series is available in a full size 18-round capacity, a compact 15-round capacity, or a subcompact 13-round capacity. The frame, ergonomics, light recoil and trigger were left pretty much the same but there are several new features built in to this pistol based on consumer feedback from the American market. Deeper serrations on the one-piece slide to allow better grip for manipulations and interchangeability options for the sights are a few of these new features.

In honor of Take Your Daughter to the Range Month, we wanted to highlight a couple of newer firearms geared towards younger girls.
 
The Browning X-Bolt Micro in Buckthorn Pink

A scaled down (just over 13" length-of-pull and barrel length of 20 - 22") version of Browning's X-bolt with a stock geared towards female shooters with pink buckmarks. It comes with a top tang safety as welll as a bolt unlock button for additional safety; a free floating barrel, adjustable trigger and detachable box magazine. Available in 243 Win, 270 WSM, 308 Win and 7mm-08 Rem. Browning Arms Company was founded in Ogden, Utah and manufacturs firearms, fishing gear, sport bows and other outdoor gear.
 
 
The Savage Axis and Axis II XP Youth Muddy Girl Camo
 

Also available chambered in 223 Rem, 243 Win and 7mm-08 Rem, the Savage Arms Axis and Axis II XP youth features a 20" free floating barrel, a detachable box magazine with a 4 round capacity and even a matching scope. The Savage Arms Company is based in Westfield Massachusettes and makes a variety of rimfire and ceterfire rifles, including marketing the Stevens single-shot firearms.

Have you ever found yourself driving north in the valley, noticing that the green street signs are now blue and wondering what that means for your gun rights? I have. I work in Las Vegas and live in North Las Vegas. I have heard from many sources that I can't open carry in North Las Vegas, and they have different ordinances about carrying in your vehicle. And what about Boulder City? When I carry, which is most of the time, I am thinking about situational awareness, safety, and myriad other things. I don't want to have to think about municipal boundaries as well! I have taken ADAPT's CCW course so my knowledge of state and local gun laws is pretty good, but should it have to be? Should you need to carry flashcards on you everytime you leave your house? No. I don't think so, and niether does the Nevada Firearms Coalition (NVFAC).
 
NVFAC recently started a Political Action Committee (PAC) to ensure that Nevada gunowners have a voice and a presence in Carson City; especially moving into the 2015 legislative session. Until now, Nevadans have had to rely on the national NRA to fight the big fights. With this new political action arm of NVFAC, we have a much closer power house defending our rights at the capitol. NVFAC supports:
Elected officials who uphold our rights that are enumerated in the Nevada and US Constitutions Ownership and safe use of firearms for self-defense, competition, recreation and hunting One uniform gun law throughout Nevada Ending handgun registration in Clark County Eliminating “gun-free” zones that create targets for criminals Strengthening self-defense laws like the Castle Doctrine Expanding Nevada’s carry laws And opposes:
So-called “universal background checks” that lead to gun registration and ultimately confiscation Elected and appointed officials who put party or personal gain ahead of the rights of the citizens Tax increases on ammunition Laws that infringe upon the rights of our veterans or mentally ill seeking help Further, NVFAC has estabished a list of 4 criteria to determine if new awsa are to be proposed, supported, or opposed based on:
NVFAC-PAC supports legislation that will result in one gun law for all Nevada citizens applied equally throughout the state. NVFAC-PAC will support any firearms legislation where analysis shows an enhancement of personal liberty and significant public benefits. NVFAC-PAC will actively work to repeal existing firearms codes and ordinances that only apply to local jurisdictions. This includes the elimination of the Clark County Handgun Registration Ordinance and ordinances in Mesquite, North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City and Clark County that are in violation of state wide pre-emption laws.  NVFAC-PAC  will oppose any firearms legislation where analysis shows that the public safety benefits are an intrusion into personal liberty. NVFAC is requesting your help in contacting two Nevada legislators (Assemblyman Pat Hickey and Senator Michael Roberson) and asking for their support of our gun rights. I have contacted both and recieved a message from Assemblyman Hickey stating that he was with me on these issues. It is important for all gun owners to reach out to the public figures who serve us and make sure they are hearing our voices and representing us appropriately.  Thank you for your support of ADAPT, NVFAC (PAC) and the second amendment!
