Does anyone know anything about the EAA revolvers (never heard of EAA). My better halfgave me one for my birthday. She knew I was wanting a 6 shot snub nose and got me one in .357 mag. I haven't tried it out yet.

EAA is just the importer. Most of their products are made by Tanfoglio of Italy. Generally they are well made gus, but they are less expensive. Based on my experiance with them, they are a very good deal for the quality you get for your money.

"Weihrauch"... these revolvers appear to be German-made. I don't know anything about them.

Hawkflyer mentioned Tanfoglio of Italy. They make EAA's "Witness" line of CZ-75 pattern pistols. I've had one for 13 or 14 years and it's a decent gun.

Enjoy your new revolver!

SFDoc,

In the photo on EEA's website, it looks like you have a decent rear sight. Does the weapon really have a nice rear sight?

I should have said that her's is the .22 Long Rifle. She's not into the larger calibers, give her a box (or case) of .22s and she is a happy camper

I saw that too, I’m not like citizen and LEO so no one will know what my rear sight looks like. As far as the one on the pistol, I tried it out last night and it works great for me. The only thing I did was to paint the sights (of the pistol) with blaze orange paint. On a B-27 target at 15 yards, with .38 125 gr. +P I was able to put all 6 in the X ring in about 8 sec., with .357 158 gr (as fast as I could fire and aim) all 6 in the 9, 10 and X rings. For a snub nose it is on the heavy side, but like the 1911’s it will make a good club if I run out of ammo. For an inexpensive pistol, I’m impressed with it.

No insultor offense intended. The remark reminded me of some of the past posts that went on between you and LEO:D
