Title: My next pistol. Start saving now!
Post by: Intercooler on October 13 2014 12:34:56 PM MDT
   EAA said they are processing the paperwork now and should be rolling them out next year. Hopefully I will have my loot together by then  :o It will be pricey!

Picture to follow.

   It more than likely won't be a 10mm since they don't offer it in that caliber. I want another Match and the Xtremes have had me drooling since I first saw them. The Gold Match Xtreme in 9mm picking from available calibers. All the Custom Shop tweaks and a 6" barrel.

They are getting the Xtreme line finally, but so far that is my choice! I know they have at least one version in 10mm  :o

  I was wrong! None of the models are 10mm... just have to order a Hunter 10mm top or use mine.

Love the Longslide, Extended Slide Stop and the Thumb Safety
Not fond of the Ported / Skeletonized Slide though

It's diffent... and Xtreme  :D

The nice thing is you get that slide in whatever caliber (for me more than likely 9mm) and swap a Hunter 10mm top on without the cuts. Whalaaa!

The magwell thing didn't work out. I started building my own today with contacting a place to chrome the frame. Just need to order the base pads, panels and hammer.

  I'm on my way getting everything ordered except the base pads. They wanted $85 ea. for them  :o  It looks like one of the standard base pads for me right now.

   I received a reply from Ben which said they only carry what's pictured. It's probably worth it to try your guy.

  The parts are here and the frame can go with them to be hard chromed.

Thanks for the lead on the base pads! I sent over the measurement to him last night (.384"). I'm going to try his first.


The Xtreme panels come with a little smaller screw to fit them. I'm using the black ones that come with them for the Super Match.

 I ground down the bottom edge of the Heart hammer last night. Off it went today!
