Frequently Asked Questions about the Falcon Pistol
Is the Falcon Pistol a good choice for concealed carry?
The Falcon Pistol, with its compact size and 9mm chambering, can be a viable option for concealed carry, especially for those on a budget. Its dimensions are manageable, and the polymer frame keeps weight down. However, it’s important to train with any carry firearm to ensure proficiency.
What is the typical magazine capacity for a Falcon Pistol 9mm?
The Falcon Pistol 9mm typically comes with a standard capacity magazine, often 10 or 15 rounds, depending on the specific model and local regulations. Always check product specifics and your state’s laws regarding magazine capacity.
Are there any known issues with the Falcon Pistol control system?
The Falcon Pistol generally employs a straightforward control system, typically featuring a manual safety, slide release, and magazine release in standard locations. Major systemic issues are not widely reported for the mainstream 9mm models we carry. As with any firearm, proper training and maintenance are key to reliable operation.
Can I find replacement parts for the Falcon Pistol easily?
Replacement parts for the Falcon Pistol can be more challenging to source compared to major brands like Glock or Smith & Wesson. While some common wear parts might be available, specialized components might require direct contact with the importer or manufacturer. We recommend having a spare magazine or two, as these can sometimes be harder to find.

Is the Falcon Pistol suitable for hunting in Kansas?
While the Falcon Pistol is chambered in 9mm, which is a common handgun cartridge, its use for hunting in Kansas would depend on the specific game and local regulations. For deer, a 9mm is generally considered underpowered and not legal. For small game, it may be permissible but not typically chosen. Always consult the current Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism hunting regulations before using any firearm for hunting.
