For you EAA fans, it appears that the elusive Elite Match 10mm got shipped again. It is a bit different that the one on page 5--
It still is a duotone ('blue' slide, SS receiver), still has a 5" barrel, and the SA trigger assembly, c/w stop. It no longer has a barrel bushing (which I believe the first versions did have), and the rear sight, while fully adjustable, is an LPA 'Novak' Profile rather than a BoMar lowmount type. It also has the 'standard' slide profile, not the one where cracks have shown up.
They're listed on GunsAmerica by Hal Baker, and on GunBroker by DiscountGunDealer, and Ron Reed at Reedsammo.com told me this morning he had three in stock.
I found mine locally, at the GunStop in Glen Lake / Minnetonka (ask for Larry, 952-474-4570; he doesn't do e-mail), and somewhat less than on the 'net auctions--$479.95.
While the level of finish is not quite as good that of the Kimber ST II 10mm I bought last summer, the price is one-half the Kimber and there are no obvious marks, the finish is even, the slide is a good tight fit, and the trigger feels just fine (for this price). It still comes in a pretty aluminum lockable box, with a cleaning kit, misc. sight tools--and one magazine.
I'll do a range report after I get there later this week.
