[anybody know anything about the EAA .357 /quote]CZ, I had a EAA Windicator .357/.38 Special. Was a really good gun but is not legal in California for metallurgy reasons if I remember correctly? Was a great gun and fired Hornaby rounds very well. Traded it in for a Ruger LCP for the wife. I would not pay $1500 for a used Armalite nor $650 for a WASR. Just my personal opinion.
