European American Armory Windicator Blued 2" 357 Magnum Revolver
[770130]

Ok so this is a high value .357 snub nose revolver. Not a Smith and Wesson for $600-$1000, I say this due to people nit picking this gun! What you are getting is an excellent commercial grade .357 so quit whining. This is has a modular design similar to a Charter Arms or Ruger, no side plate. I would say regarding heft and design quality more on par with Ruger than Charter Arms. On my example the lock up is excellent, timing is spot on. There is no hammer or trigger side play or binding. The bluing is simply outstanding! The tolerances are very tight, no loose screws all seems are have excellent fitment. I have seen some complaints about the barrel. Based on our trade agreement with Germany the US cannot import short barrel firearms with a certain length barrel from Germany(not sure about other EU countries) so these come in with longer barrels pressed into them and then are cut down and crowned here. My piece came with a nicely cut and crowned barrel, which looks to be stainless steel. I called EAA and they stated they used to blue the crowned area but they received complaints about the bluing, so they stopped that practice. She did verify it is cut and crowned and I am happy with mine which is well done for my purposes. The two stage trigger is heavy as predicted and the sear is a bit notchy in double action. Single action is fine, no complaints. I am sure a qualified Gun Smith could polish out the action. I did not see aftermarket springs yet for these. One thing for sure this firearm definitely has the weight to handle .357 which is why I was interested in it.
So if you want a high value commercial grade revolver that looks to be quality designed for years of shooting fun and viable self defense piece I say purchase with confidence. I will be getting the 4" variant for sure!
