Why does EAA suck? If you didn't already know

That said, I do believe that the Tan Witness offers a value for the price, in so long as the purchaser realizes that their best option for a repair of a non-functioning example may not be the authorized servicing agent.

+1. It's a good value IF you have a smith who can work on it. But after a couple hundred dollars, you're getting into the cost of a Glock 20 or 29. You'd have to decide it it's worth it to you.

I always wondered why they were so cheap. I have been tempted in the past because the just 'feel' so good in your hand.

Thanks for the heads up

B.s.

"It depends on how the story was told. If I got a phone call about a firing pin spring breakage, rear sight fyling off, and a magazine splitting the first thing to pop in my mind would be the pistol blew up. The first thing to suspect is the ammo and factory ammo can have defects also.
It is a bit unusual to bad mouth a company that you did get 2 good products from. Why would you get rid of the 2 good pistols because you had trouble with another? Suppose what you replaced them with required repairs? Just because of a name stamped on the product doesn't mean it can't be defective."

I never mentioned the rear sight to EAA.
The 10rnd mags are notorious for splitting (due to the way they are made).
I don't know how defective ammo (whether hand rolled or store bought) could break a firing pin spring. It was simply a factory defect.

"Why would you get rid of the 2 good pistols because you had trouble with another?"

Because the company pissed me off, and trust me they have earned the bad mouthing. I've had two good pistols and two bad. 50/50 is not good.

BTW, they have used the "hot handloads" excuse on other people.

EAA gave me that BS about ammo to, even though they had already admitted the gun was defective.

I'll never buy anything from those butt heads again.
