Customer Reviews for European American Armory 8 + 1 Round 9MM w/Blue Finish

Great little gun. Well built, reliable. Extra mags are somewhat hard to find and expensive though.

I've had mine for several months now and can make the following comments: 1. I bought it because it was a great price for a gun that felt very comfortable in my hand. 2. It is thin but a little heavy. 3. The slide was not as smooth when I bought it as it is now. It wears in nicely. 4. I could not release the slide with the slide lock using my thumb and one-hand hold. After breaking it in, it is no problem. My adult daughter can do it also. 4. I've stripped and reassembled it multiple times to become proficient at it. I can do it with my eyes closed using no tools. 5. I've shot it at my friends farm and it is a lot of fun to shoot. The sighting capability of that environment was not great but it does seem to shoot a little low and to the left at 5-7 yards. I plan to prove this true or false when I can take it to the range. 6. I called EAA and spoke to one of the gun smiths regarding the sights and the gun in general. He owns one and says it's a great gun. He is disappointed that the gun is not more popular for the value it represents. He confirmed what I wondered about by stating that, when he has a chance, he is going to machine some new, low-profile custom sights for it. He said it's easy to replace them with a hammer and brass punch. 7. I haven't used this for CCW yet since I have no holster and have not proven the accuracy at the range yet. I really like this gun and will give it five stars for its good value and high quality. If you want to compare it to a gun at twice the price, then knock off one star.

Great price and Buds great service, shipped fast as always. The gun feels great in my hand, seems well built, and I love the way it shoots. I've shot about 50 rounds through mine using WWB ammo and had 3 fail to ejects. I think it just needs to be broken in so I'll be happy to shoot a few more boxes through and post an update, well, someday.

Not a bad gun for the price. This was my first personal firearm. A little heavy, but a good, solid all metal design. It is also a lot thinner than most of the glocks or S+W's I looked at- meaning a better concealed carry choice. So far, I have put some two hundred rounds through it. A few jams when shooting FMJ, but I had some increased difficulty when putting a box of Gold Dot hollow point through it. I'm hoping this is just a "break in" issue- so I will put another couple of rounds of FMJ at the range and then try some hollow point again and hope for some improvement. I give Bud's a 3 out of 5- great service and prompt replies to queries, and quick shipping. However, the advertised price of your gun will go up if you decide to buy with plastic- I ended up paying $254.32 instead of the advertised $244- over $10 more. It would have been better(and more honest) if they had offered the gun at $254.32 and then offered a discount for buying with cash or check.

EAA has begun importing pistols from Zastava firearms in Ser After recieving this pistol,I was like the others,very impressed with the finish on the gun.It has some issue with the slide however it may be due to the magazine.it is not much to speak of.the accuracy is very good.even my wife has been able to come up with a nice grouping on her first try.overall not bad for the price.

This compact pistal is smooth firing and while I keep it oiled up it has yet to jam, the price is what impressed me the most though. My idea of A Perfect pistal.

I have never shot the EAA version but I have shot the orginal Zastava model. It is a great shooting, simple, lightweight, and easy to carry pistol. It feels and shots like a small 1911. It fits your hand better than most other expensive pistols. It comes apart and operates basically like a TT pistol. The Balkans build great basic weapons.....
