EAA and Taurus revolver


Quavodus

Recommended Posts

One of my brothers had an EAA revolver.  One evening we were dry firing it in his living room and the hammer just broke off.  I don't mean the firing pin, I mean the whole hammer.  I don't think he even tried to get it repaired.

I have fired some Taurus .38 revolvers and they worked OK.  Not as good as a Smith or a Ruger, but for someone who can't afford anything better, it would be preferable to being unarmed.

Cheers,

When I was at Buds a couple months ago, they had quite a few French police trade in S&W 64's & 10's.  I think they were like $249 & $269 a pop. Had me thinking seriously on one but then I settled on the near mint Star BM 9mm for $199.99 on the box. Give em a call and see if they still have any. They all ready are vehicle seasoned!

Man, I don't remember you letting us know that??? Not bad for a shooter grade.

I like S&W and I love old Colts, but they are usually priced too high for me.  I was in the market for a new 4" .357 (not .38spl) back in the Spring, Ended up with a ported Taurus Tracker.  My next option would have been a Ruger GP100, for about $150 more.  New S&Ws were completely out of my price range at an additional $300.

I think S&W is trying to go the way of Colt and their snake guns.  Everyday use revolvers are a thing of the past for both companies, unless you are looking for a small carry piece.

Ruger would do well to expand their line of LCRs and sell one in .357mag with a 3" and 4" barrel.  That would have probably been very much in my price range!

I have a Windicator .357..  think I got it 5 years ago.  Love it.  Shoot mostly .38 out of it ... do to shooting indoors and even with great ear protection .357 rounds sound like a freaking canon going off... just be careful  with your thumb...the cylinder release can take off a thumb nail if not careful
