EAA Girsan Imports: MC9, Regard MC, and Match X

EAA imports the full Girsan lineup, including the MC9 striker-fired compact, the Regard MC (Beretta 92-pattern DA/SA), and the Match X competition 1911. Girsan is a NATO-qualified Turkish manufacturer supplying military and law enforcement in over 60 countries. The MC9 is the most popular carry option—a Glock 19-sized striker-fired 9mm with an optic-ready slide, interchangeable backstraps, and a trigger that outperforms most competitors at its price point. The Regard MC is the go-to option for buyers who want the Beretta 92 DA/SA experience at a significantly lower cost. The Match X delivers 1911 competition features at a price tier below Kimber or Springfield.

EAA Tanfoglio Witness: The Competition Pistol Lineup

The Tanfoglio Witness is EAA's flagship competition pistol—a Czech-Italian design based on the CZ 75 platform with significant enhancements for IPSC, USPSA, and IDPA competition. Available in 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 ACP, the Witness features a steel frame, a DA/SA trigger, and an extended beavertail safety. The Witness Elite and Witness Match variants add a tuned trigger, extended controls, and a competition-ready action. Tanfoglio's competition division supplies pistols to world-champion IPSC shooters, and the Witness is the most accessible entry into that competition lineage. For shooters moving from polymer striker guns into steel-frame competition shooting, the Witness is one of the strongest value propositions available.

Tanfoglio Witness in 10mm: The Hunting and Outdoors Option

The Tanfoglio Witness in 10mm is particularly popular among hunters, outdoors carriers, and shooters who want maximum handgun power in a full-size platform. The steel frame handles 10mm recoil better than most polymer-frame 10mm pistols, and the DA/SA action gives a deliberate first-shot pull followed by single-action follow-ups. With a 15-round magazine and a 4.5-inch barrel, the 10mm Witness is a capable hunting sidearm for large game and a serious defensive platform in bear country. It competes with the Glock 20 and EAA's own SAR9 in this niche, but the steel frame and DA/SA action give it a distinct character.

EAA Windicator Revolver: The Budget .38/.357 Option

The EAA Windicator is a German-made (Weihrauch) DA/SA revolver available in .38 Special and .357 Magnum with 2-inch and 4-inch barrel options. It holds 6 rounds and uses a transfer bar safety. The Windicator is one of the few revolvers at its price point that is actually manufactured in Germany to German commercial standards—a notable quality distinction at a budget price. For buyers who want a reliable .38 or .357 revolver for home defense or range use without paying S&W or Ruger prices, the Windicator is a legitimate option that punches above its cost.

EAA Corp Warranty and Service

EAA Corp provides warranty service through their Rockledge, Florida facility for all imported firearms. Turnaround times are generally reasonable, and EAA maintains parts stocks for current production models. Girsan and Tanfoglio both have growing U.S. user communities with active forums and aftermarket support. For buyers considering EAA imports who are concerned about post-sale support, the Florida domestic service center is a meaningful advantage over importers who rely entirely on overseas factory service.

Frequently Asked Questions: EAA Corp

What is EAA Corp?
European American Armory (EAA Corp) is a Rockledge, Florida firearms importer and distributor that brings European and Turkish-made firearms to the US market. EAA is best known for importing the Witness series (CZ 75-pattern DA/SA pistols made by Tanfoglio in Italy), the Girsan MC series (Turkish-made polymer pistols), Bersa pistols from Argentina, and the Windicator revolver. EAA serves as the primary US distributor for several quality European manufacturers whose products would otherwise have limited US availability.

What is the EAA Witness?
The EAA Witness is Tanfoglio’s CZ 75-pattern DA/SA pistol, imported by EAA for the US market. Tanfoglio is an Italian manufacturer that produces both licensed CZ 75-pattern pistols and their own competition variants — the Witness Elite Match and Witness 2311 are popular competition platforms in USPSA Limited and Open divisions. The Witness is available in full-size and compact configurations across 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 10mm, making it one of the most caliber-diverse DA/SA pistol lines available.

How does the EAA Witness compare to a CZ 75?
The Witness is mechanically very similar to the CZ 75 — both use the CZ 75 all-steel DA/SA design that influenced an entire generation of service pistols. The Tanfoglio Witness is generally considered equal or slightly superior to the CZ 75 in competition applications due to Tanfoglio’s extensive competition heritage building on the CZ 75 pattern. For duty and defensive use, both are excellent — the choice often comes down to personal preference, caliber availability, and specific model features.

What Girsan models does EAA import?
EAA imports Girsan’s MC28SA (a Walther P99-inspired DA/SA 9mm), MC9 (a compact striker-fired 9mm carry pistol), and the Regard MC (a 1911-pattern 9mm), among others. Girsan pistols offer European-influenced designs at competitive prices and have earned positive reliability reviews at their price tier.
