  • The EAA Windicator 357 Magnum has been my concealed carry revolver for 3 years now. So we wanted to talk about how the EAA Windicator is doing in all that time.

    I always appreciate your honesty and lack of gun snobbery. If it goes bang every time you pull the trigger and hits what you're pointing at...it's done all it's designed to do.

    Ive had the 4" barrel version for about a year now and I really like it, its very accurate and the heavy frame tames full power .357s pretty well. My only piece of advice is don't wait to clean it after you shoot it. My cylinder got really caked with residue and it took a good amount of time, solvent, and lubcricant to get it to spin freely again.

In my young mind, I knew that it could not possibly be a fault with my aim. so i aimed high and right, plinked bulls eyes all day to the consternation of many men who aimed the way you learn. if you shoot consistent groups change your aiming point. it helped me and put food on the table.

    For some reason I just love German, Swiss and Italian made guns, I sold a SHIELD (have two so it was all good to me) for a pocket carry revolver (as I didn't have one at the time) initially was shooting-high for a Colt King Cobra 2-3" or a Ruger GP100 but then I saw this and doesn't bother me one bit. Perhaps b/c im used to the USP c .45 and full sized SIG 1911 (or Beretta M9 or Glock 19/17). I actually really enjoy carrying this and I enjoy that I have to get my skillset up to shoot it as well as a DA/SA or SAO or striker, getting there. Also fun to practice pulling the hammer back for as fast shootin' as possible. Seriously a gem of a revolver if you aren't a bitch about weight and trigger pull :P

    ALERT ! FYI, this might save your life:
    My Windicator 357 had a bad or out of spec cylinder stop (WINDICATOR 38 & 357 Cylinder Stop - #18 - #301626), which I had to order and replace myself.
    When I tried to repid fire the revolver, the cylinder would get stuck and not fully turn to the next round, rendering the revolver useless, once I bought the new cylinder stop, I was able to see that the original cylinder stop was slightly too large in the wrong place, and that was causing the cylinder of the revolver to get stuck while turning at a fast speed (at slow speeds it did not get hanged up, only when rapid firing the revolver, and it did it consistently, so I know it was not me). After I replaced the new Cylinder stop, I was able to rapid fire the revolver and it never got hanged up again, the cylinder turned fully to the next round as it should every single time without failure.

So I gave up one extra round with the Taurus. The Windicator is really built well for the 357 magnum, but it’s really a waist carry gun. Both these revolvers are a great value!

    Thanks for small guns I think a 3" is best , most of the bulk is in the grip & any added length from 2" is a large % in gain & at that level of power , more is better . As far as speed to draw , I don't think most people would feel a large difference . I think most people would use a 38+p , but if you did use a 357 , all the better to get more power out of an extra 1/2 or 1 inch . If a person would hand load all the better as some powder works better for short barrels & med to light loads . Power Pistol & Unique would be a good choice .

    WOW! This video went a long way in convincing me to go with the Winicator. I'm looking for a budget-friendly revolver, I've also seen good things about the Sarsilmaz SR-38, of course, I really want a Ruger or S&W 586:)

    • @Commander76
      @Commander76 2 роки тому +1

      Sarsilmaz makes outstanding guns as well. I own the K245 and it made me ditch my 1911's. It's an absolute tackhammer. Smith and Wesson is of course excellent as well. Own a 586 nickel in 6" that's almost too beautiful to shoot.

    • @geico1975
      @geico1975 2 роки тому

      @@Commander76 Yes, that 586 nickel sounds excellent. I still don't have one, because the prices have just soared as you know, but a blued 586 is what I'm hoping to get one day. I'm just a sucker for traditional firearms. I have one 1911, the Tisas SDS Imports, WWII clone love that and a good shooter too. My EDC is usually a Ruger EC9 in 9MM, only holds 7, but love the size and comfort of carrying it. Also have a Taurus G2C I'll carry now and again, the only revolver I have is just a Heritage in .22lr and .22MAG if you switch the cylinders. For $175 - $200 it makes a fun gun to plink with.

    I bought one of these after my SP101 was stolen, meaning to replace it with a new SP101 after the insurance kicked in. I like the EAA so much I'm not going to do that. The only trouble I've had is that mine will shoot very low if I line up the sights level (and it's not shooter error). I had to paint my front sight about half way down the ramp. When I hold there, it's as accurate as any snub nose revolver ought to be.

    If you could please pray for my mom? My dad died January 9th, 2018. With the holidays my mom has become more depressed. She chose to stay at home alone despite having been invited to Thanksgiving dinner. I know if my dad could he would tell her to stop grieving so much and to start living again and remember him with smiles and laughter. That was how he lived. There isn’t one day that goes by where I didn’t think of him. However I also know he wouldn’t want us to be unhappy.
    Thalia you for all you do and I hope your holidays are filled with many wonderful memories surrounded by your loved ones.

      Listen Brother, your Mom is in the Sovereign Hands of Father God & He's reshaping the clay of her heart, Jer.29:11,,, everyone processes grief at very different degrees, but we will overcome if we faint not... Scripture sez, weeping may endure 4A night but Joy cometh in the morning. Trust in The Living Word & in due season we shall reap if we faint not

      @walker jfs hey Walker, Father God doesn't harden our hearts He softens our spiritual hearts to endure grief, sorrow, abuse & loss... KJV Psalm 23 sez, ... Tho I Go Thru "struggles/hardship" I Will fear NO evil (grief) bcuz Thy Rod - Jesus - & Thy Staff - The Spirit of Truth WILL Strengthen me/you. Last Dec 2019, the NSA poisoned my drinking water which I unknowingly shared with my 19 yr old Son, 3 months later he was dead. Now the feds planned on eliminating me after 14yrs of invasive harassment, robbery & relentless toxic abuse, but being a Prophet of King Yeshua I Prayed that demonic shit outta me & never knew about my son. I know persecution (sorrow) & injustice (grief) personally being an Anointed Man of God- but I NEVER quit trusting & serving Jesus. 1st thing that you should do is stop spending time with the so called "christian church people", those rotten phony bastards are satans soldiers sent to damage & mislead you concerning anything that could lead U2 a True Covenant with Just Jesus Thru the Holy Spirit Led Life. John 14:26-27, Romans 8:14, 1 John 4:7-11, Isaiah 54:17 & Joshua 1:5-9. King Jesus is searching for wo/men of Endurance, Integrity and Loyalty - quitters cowards feds phonies & wannabees need not apply, bcuz God Almighty shapes the clay of our hearts while we Go Thru loss, torture & adversity. Psalm 107:1, we gotta need/ lean on Jesus as if our lives were at stake - bcuz our Eternal Lives are. Death is a Solid Promotion for All of us Disciples of The Way. Brother Walker, get an old KJV Bible, read all of Romans out loud - that's dynamic spiritual warfare - spend time outside in the woods fishing camping sitting on a log & you Search for Jesus, Pray 2 Jesus out loud - with all your effort of your will & I swear to Father God Almighty that He Will come & spend Quality time with Just you. You need any help - send me another note to confirm & I Will put you on my long Intercessory Covering Prayers list, sort of like an adoption process while UR pursuing Emmanuel with All of your heart. Grief is a big part of your Predestined already Fore Ordained Calling on your Life, Hebrews 5:8! ASK = Ask Seek Knock - Yeshua stands at the Door of our Sufferings waiting for us to Invite Him in to our lack- Peace 2U my Brother!!!

    • @justincase7661
      @justincase7661 4 роки тому

      @walker jfs Brother any Qs, just send me a note. GOD doesn't leave any seekers alone, I will pray you thru your Journey. Bcuz of hardship we learn sympathy towards others bcuz nobody was with us when we suffered alone except The Merciful Embrace from our Good Shepherd Lord Christ Jesus. Yeshua brings us thru all obstacles bcuz apart from Jesus I am truly helpless (in my carnal emotional mind) to properly process pain & the cruelty of greedy 2faced bastards. JC Sez, luv them that hate us, bless them that curse us & Forgive them that despitefully mistreat us, that's a tall order. This is where Holy Spirit filled Enabling Grace Shines Forth & all you hafta want to do is please Him = obey The Word, our Constitution with a Very Real Sovereign Keeper. Remember Brother - No mess = No Message or no tests = No Testimonials, we gotta go thru some rough shit so we can honestly tell people that if Faithful Jesus is, has & Will bring us thru any/ All challenges then we got ourselves some real truthful Good News to share with a struggling soul Sibling. Elohim sent a wounded struggling you to a tempered Loyal Mighty Man O God tonight Walker & now you've got a Divine Covenant Covering, , , a few daze from now you'll be singing in the woods and Praising your Loving Savior. Thank God for Sovereign connections,,, please read Romans thru Jude 3xs KJV! Many are Called but FEW (of us) are Chosen! Vaya Con Dios! ✌

    I believe it's "V"indicator since it's made in Deutchland where their "W" is pronounced like our "V" and their "V" is pronounced like our "F" as in Volkswagen being properly pronounced in Germany as Folksvagen, meaning People's Car. See? "Folks" = "people" in German and Americans have been using it not knowing they were speaking German. And, of course, we pronounce Vagen as wagon.

    Love your videos!
    I just received word yesterday that my Sister who’s been fighting MS for years, as well as some other health issues, now has stage one cancer in her leg near her lymph gland. She has another surgery before the one where she can have the cancer removed & is planning to have both surgeries before Christmas, so your prayers would be much appreciated.
    Thanks for everything you do in Christ Jesus! “Since He did not spare His own Son, but He gave Him up for us all, how will He not also along with Him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)
    God is so gracious to us all! Problem is that seeing & savoring it often times is very difficult if not impossible. Seeing & savoring God’s goodness is a gift of grace as well. So that’s what I typically pray for. Reminds me of the song, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus... and the things of earth grow strangely dim in the light of His glory & grace.”
    Blessings y’all!

      Hey, Brother Dan, you may want to research Bee Sting Therapy - as a legitimate cure for MS... All things are possible to those of us who Believe,,, 97% of all cancers are related to the adamant spirit of unforgiveness. Also, known as a devouring spirit. Our Christ Mandate Is To Love, Bless, Forgive & pray 4 those that despitefully mistreat us,,, Matt 6:14-15, Manna for the wise. 1Jon 4:19 compels us to emulate Yeshua. Find out who/what needs to be forgiven & get her to Repent with Holy Oil & James 5:14-16! Find a Prophet to do the Anointing Ceremony, don't use church people, please. Vaya Con Dios! 😨
