EAA Windicator ?

Anyone own or try one? Talking about their .357 revolver. CDNN has them cheap and I am just curious if anyone has some experience with one.

Had a snub years back it shot good was just a bit stiff to lock up on 2 cylinders seemed to get better as it was shot more.

If I remember correctly the 357 is a steel gun and the 38 spl. is a ZMAC gun.

That is exactly was I was abot to add. Just get one in .357. They are made by Weirauch, who's been making high-quality adult air rifles for eons. :clap:

I have one, snubby, but have yet to shoot it. One chamber in the cylinder is extremely tight. Running a brush through a couple of hundred times helped.

I had one years ago and it shot fine, decent entry level snubby. However the grip screw pulled through the grip after a few hundred rounds. It was an easy fix, drilled out the bottom to fit a washer under the screw but it pulled the washer in as well. So I ordered a new grip and sold it off along with a warning about the issue. This was nearly 20yrs ago so hopefully they fixed that issue.
