E.A.A Windicator

[mountaindrew]

I have heard very littl about these guns. Most of what I hear about EAA products is good, but Each of thier product line has a different maufacturer, so its hard to tell.
I am looking into the 4in moden for general purpose use, as it seem remarkably inexpensive (around $250 or less) for a .357.

Please I Do know about Ruger and smith and taurus ans ect....

Im not ignorant, I just enjoy looking at unusaul option rather than shooting what everyone else has.

All I can say is that I lived in the metro Phoenix AZ area for a lond time. I have been into most of the gunshops in town and I have never seen or fondled one!!
That may give you a clue!!

The Windicator revolver

I see Windicator revolvers around here every once in a while. The name is an excercise in political correctness. They were originally called the Vindicator.

The design looks rather crude. The fit and finish are decent for the low price. I have no experience with actually shooting one.

Windicators are German revolvers made by ARMINIUS and imported by European American Armory.
The action uses design features from both the High Standard Crusader and Sentinal firearms.
Like everything at the lower end of firearm choices they are servicable, somewhat rough in fit and finish, and not built to last the lifetime of the owner.
If it is all you can afford at the moment, the gun will serve well enough until you can buy something better.

Aren't they made of Zinc? Or some sort of pot-metal, anyway.

this is always the first response to these

but its wrong they are fine quality without the high price i have had one in .357 mag for many years it shoots well, well enough that in europe its used for action pistol type events don't let the cost fool you mine is accurate and dependable and small enough that i somtimes carry it for backup when hog hunting on the ground.......

Bad experience here. Bought one for my brother. The cylinder locks up after the first cylinder is fired. Changed ammo, cleaned, lubed, everything possible. Contacted EAA. Sent it back. They changed the gap setting. Came back. Cylinder lock still. Since it was so cheap, we decided to play with it. Filed away some more gap and get TWO cylinders before she locks up. I told him to dump it but he feels bad about selling it to someone in that condition. A truck gun or a paperweight. I wouldn't depend on it.

Bad JuJu.

Well they moved just far enough to fool the politically correct types In Latin there was no W in the alphabet and the V, according to the professors was pronounced W. So veni, vidi, vinci came out Weni, Wedi, etc. Who would have though that Caesar would have sounded like Elmer Fudd?

Every time I see a reference to this gun I think Windibreaker.
