EAA Windicator 38 special 2inch barrel

Turners is selling this for 260.00. What's your opinion on this revolver? Wish they sold this in 357 mag.

Hard gritty double action pull, cheaply made and not all that fun to shoot. If looking for a inexpensive hideaway revolver for up close work, maybe. But not if it's something you plan on shooting often.

Compare it side by side with a Rock Island M206 and see if It's priced "right" at $260.

Save a few extra bucks and buy a S&W or Ruger DA revolver.

I got myself a Smith 638 for $409 plus tax and dros at Bullseye in Riverside. Worth every penny. Love to shoot it.

I bought a Taurus 85 a few years back for $250. It's sole purpose is a back up gun for HD. It goes bang every time, but it is definitely not a "fun" gun. What your looking at is probably equal in quality, so I guess it depends on your expectations and how you plan to use it.

2 inch barrel 357's are not for everyone, if you get my meaning.

And I concur that you should check out the rock island armory M-206 it is a close, but not exact copy of the colt detective, with none of the refined finish.

I believe it's all steel of a more traditional frame design than the Windicator.

that said, I wouldn't throw it away if someone gave me one and maybe $260 isn't a bad price for one, Here in California.
I just think there might be better options for just a few dollars more.

I've actually had 2 of these and still have one. I consider a pretty nice shooter and fairly accurate for a snub. Had a pair and one was stolen. gave the remaining one to one of my guys as a bonus, then the other was recovered from a gang banger after 5 years. I do have half dozen S&W revolvers, so I do know a good revolver.
