Cool pictures.   I've got to try that.    Glad you're having fun testing/breaking-in those guns.
Will work for ammo

More than a nice time. I am working the bugs out on mines,  I had a talk with someone working there today. Looks like my posts ignited a reaction, they agree totally on the rear sight. for the other points, Insh'Allah.  ;-)

I finely tuned the extractor by ramping the lower inside face in order for the case head to slide smoothly in place and I modified the angle of the ejector face (I wish I had more material to start with), the modified pistol now runs like a swiss clock.

I have done more testing with a F and Geco, Sellier & Bellot and reloaded ammunition, 115, 124 and 147 grains.

The trigger is way better than it was right out of the box. I only had one failure to lock slide with empty magazine.

I still have the cases hitting me in the head 5 times for 300 rounds fired.
The shooter next booth told me it was flying just above my head,  I tried to have him take pictures but I prefered to let him try the Caracal than my EOS.
Once more verified, an expert's camera does not make a skilled photographer especially indoors.

Not only the compact, AFAIK.

Matter of choice when ordering.

Are their rear tunnel an integrated part of the slide or front blade and the rear tunnel is one part mounted in the front dovetail notch?
If the later is true, it would be nice to have one to try on other guns.
