So am I ,Moe.( F-150). I have experience with four of the EAA's. One in .45Colt( my first CAS pistol) and three in .357. The .45 has a 7 1/2" barrell and the .357's are 4 1/2's. They are built tough on the old Sauer/Hawes tooling. when Weirauch bought it, they contracted with Ruger for rights to a T-bar system. This system could be caled it's Achilles heel as the pin/rivet on the side of the hammer does break occassionally if the shooter isn't careful. they are heavily sprung averaging about 6lbs on the pull. They can be tuned using springs for the Colt revolvers from Wolff. My .45 is on it's seventh season with only problems of my own making, didn't have to even trim the front sight for my loads( 200g). The .357's had to have the fronts shortened. Only problems with those have been the ejector rod buttons breaking off if you let it snap back, especially during cold weather. They're made of pot metal, at least the earlier ones. The last replacement sent to me was different from the others so they may have addressed the problem. Accuracywise, they have been realy good, using .452's in the Colt and .358's in the .357's. You will have to be careful at the loading table as they have recessed cylinders, ie: the case heads are covered and the loading table person won't be able to see them. IMHO, they are the best bang for the buck for an entry level gun. Finish can be had in blue/CC, all blue, or nickled. Grip wise, they're more like the Colts than the Rugers. The action has three clicks, ala the Colt. each gun is persona unto it's own as far as light springs go, my .45 and my partner's two .357's took the lighter springs okay, but the one .357 I have didn't. We had to work pretty hard to get it reliable. There were two ways to go, extend the T-bar, or remove it and build up the hammer face. The bar doesn't cover the whole pin and the difference in kinetic energy wouldn't pop all brands of primers reliably. We extended the .357 and removed the bar on the Colt. Both work quite well now with any brand of primer. Hope this helps you some and this wasn't more info than you wanted..............Buck
;DJust thought of something, if you look at my avitar picture, I'm shooting the .357 Bounty Hunter duelist and I shot that match clean.........Buck
