Last Thoughts

Looking forward to your feedback and any tips you might have!
I’ve had the EAA Windicator .357 with a 4-inch barrel for about a year now. The accuracy is surprisingly good for the price point. Groups can be tight at 25 yards if I do my part.
I haven’t had any jams so far. The reliability has been excellent. I’ve fired a couple of different brands of ammo, and it handles them all without a hiccup.
I agree with you, David. I’ve noticed that it performs really well in different shooting conditions, too. Rain or shine, it keeps going strong. Just make sure to keep it clean!
[quote=“wardelizabeth, post:4, topic:2417”]Just make sure to keep it clean![ /quote]Absolutely! Sometimes I forget, and I can feel the difference in performance when it’s dirty. How’s the recoil? Is it manageable?
The recoil is not too bad. It’s definitely sharper than a .38, but manageable for most shooters. I find that it’s quite fun to shoot, especially with a proper grip.
I think it’s a great choice for beginners. It’s affordable, reliable, and offers the experience of shooting a .357. Just remember, the trigger takes some getting used to.
For the price, absolutely! I’d say it’s a solid investment for those who want a .357 without spending a fortune. Just don’t expect it to compete with higher-end models.
I’ve been looking into the EAA Windicator .357, and it seems to offer great value compared to other revolvers in its class. Its price point is very competitive, especially for an all-steel revolver.
I’ve owned a few revolvers, and the Windicator feels very sturdy. The sights are decent, but they could be better compared to brands like Smith & Wesson or Ruger.
I think it’s important to note that it’s designed primarily for budget-conscious buyers. You might not get all the frills, but it performs well, which is what matters most in defense situations.
Absolutely, it’s about reliability and functionality over looks. Plus, I’ve seen many users rave about their satisfaction with the Windicator’s performance.
I totally second that! I’ve had my Windicator for over a year and it’s been dependable. However, I’ve read some mixed reviews about customer service—anyone else notice that?
Yes, customer service can be hit or miss. But I’d rather deal with that than find a gun that doesn’t perform as expected. By the way, has anyone done a trigger pull comparison with other revolvers?
