Notes
Introduced at SHOT Show 2013. The CC10 was discontinued around 2018, effectively replaced by the more capable CMP 9 platform. The trigger pull was notably light at 2.8-3.3 lbs. Accepted 10, 15, and 18-round Caracal pistol magazines.
Background
The CC10 was one of Caracal's earliest attempts to expand beyond pistols into the long gun market for the US civilian market. While it generated interest at SHOT Show, it was ultimately overshadowed by the more ambitious CAR 816 and CMP 9 platforms that followed.
