EAA pistols

[TEXAS "All or nothing"]

been thinking about this brand, but not sure about reliability and customer service? any info from this forum on personal perspective of ownership? was thinking about a beretta, but several owners say/state their cs is terrible.

If you're refferring to EAA, yes their customer service is bad.

I've never *had* to use beretta's customer service, but they've always answered any question I've asked them, including some pretty in depth stuff.

I’ve owned 8 Beretta 92 models, 2 Beretta shotguns, and a Beretta carbine, but never had a reason to use Beretta’s customer service. Also put thousands of rounds through government owned Berretas without a single issue.

ETA: I’ve also owned 2 PX4’s without issue.

EAA, my bad!

Skip em. Buy the Beretta. My m9a3 is somewhere around 50k and it's as solid as a rock. My 21a, Px4, APX and 92a1 were also great.

I want the 92gta as the 1 I held when at a Cabela's fit fine, unlike 1911's. I think there's a backstrap that can be added for more of a 1911 style grip? Not me!

EAA is just an importer. Which pistol? Windicator? Witness? etc.

I have a 4'' blued Windicator that has been shot very few times, no problems.

EAA also imports (imported?) SAR Sarsimalz. I have had a few of those and no issues. Girasn is also theirs.

I have used Beretta customer service once and it was excellent.

The firearms EAA imports are generally quite good, it's EAA themselves that are the problem. I think they're worse than Century as far as CS goes

10mm in anything 4.5" or longer. Not sure of what it's specifically called?

I've had a few EAA guns over the years and had no issues to contact them about. The witness series are pretty straight shooting CZ clones and I also have the tanfoglio version of a CZ97. The latest generation of Tanfoglios are sharp looking guns but most go with CZ. Not sure what they're importing these days but they don't import junky guns just unknowns in the US market.

I had a Girsan Regard MC (Beretta 92 clone). Good shooter, but the extractor wore out quickly. A Wilson Combat extractor fixed that. Only downside was that 200+ rounds in a range session would get the barrel hot enough to cause failure to extract. Cool-down time and a quick cleaning was the fix. Ended up selling it to fund another gun.

If you need it fixed, skip EAA and take it to your local gunsmith. Only difference between Beretta and it are the barrel and locking block. You'll spend less on the gunsmith than on shipping.

That's called: a Man's gun.
