"The EAA EA/R revolver chambered in .357 Magnum / .38 Special with a 2.25"" barrel is a rugged, compact double-action/single-action wheel gun. Imported into the United States by European American Armory (EAA), this firearm was manufactured in Germany by Weihrauch (often stamped HW-357 or Windicator on the frame). It is highly regarded as a straightforward, utilitarian tool for self-defense and home protection."
