Correction It is called a Windicator. I believe it is made in Germany.

EAA is an importer and I have had mixed experiences with them.  INMHO they are a stand up firm.  However, they are only as good as the product they import.

Got the revolver "made in Germany"  Functioned perfectly. Only problem was the Lawyer trigger  with ribs made my trigger finger bleed . Also make sure to adjust the pins properly.

I know this will turn out to be a dumb question, but I just have to ask!

What did you mean by "make sure to adjust the pins properly"???

i just got one today, a 357 magnum with 2 inch barrel. i wanted the 4 inch barrel but they didn't have any, gun shoots great at 10 yds its putting shots at about 2 1/2 inches with the magnums, and about 1 1/2 inch with 38 spl. ammo, which i think is great for a snubby. might tighten up after i get used to the gun, it weighs 28oz because of the steel frame, i think the eaa 38 is lighter cause its on a alloy frame. the gun was a steal i think, i paid $230.00 out the door for mine brand new. fit and finish good as any taurus or my charter's that i own, i will try to buy another when my dealer can get them in. also i love the grips, their one piece with the retaining screw on bottom.
