Naa. Just a learning curve to get a Match on up where possible. Haven't seen any of those broke and they have so much better ergonomics.

Probably will need an FFL transfer (fee) for the replacement.  I would insist on the Match and pay the difference.  It's a tank of a frame!

Thanks, guys. Should've got a G20 SF in the first place.

Yep...

Sorry for your troubles.

My take on it is that the EAA's were just not designed with full power 10mm auto in mind. None of the main stream manufacturers even make full power 10mm any more, so we have to go to boutique companies.

Even the Glocks are a bit undersprung for the full power stuff, I think, but were still designed way back when 10mm mainstream ammo was still full power or near full power so they can take the abuse.

Perhaps you will be happier with a Glock and a 22 pound RSA.

Ill chime here. Tanfoglios are fine with full power. My thinking is that when they were making pistols with the rounded slides there was a total quality control issue. Be it the poly frame or the metal ones at the time. When my compact was totally replaced with current slide design, the entire pistol seemed more durable. I ran Underwood's 180's and Nugent rounds with a beefed up 18lb spring. My Match from the past ate it all up, however I kept most rounds in the 180's.Some 135's and 155's,but for the most part I did not feel the need to shoot the nuke stuff in a metal frame as a whole. I still don't. Now I stepped it up and will be getting the Stock 2. Nothing will change,180's and 200's and maybe 165's.Tanfo's are fine, just got to respect them. The G20 is the beater. EAA test shoots repaired pistols with Eagle 180's. Just my take.

Maybe they just need the heavier slide to slow things down a bit.

What spring were you running? I have 22lb Wolff springs in my 4.75's and a 20lb in my 6". My Match had a ton of Nukes through it but looked great when I sold it. If you want a plastic pistol get the Glock.

I was using the 22 pound but that induced malfunctions. The problem is that neither of the part that broke are under a lot of stress. The trigger bar isn't under any more stress in 10mm than with 9mm and even the frame rails shouldnt be under a lot of stress.

You had two of the oddest I have ever seen!

Intercooler, my friend. Your disdain for the Glock has been well noted.

  It's not that I don't like them... It's just they never changed the design 

That's because Gason got it right in the first place. Like the 1911, it never really needed any improvements. 

I like the CZ design and I really want to add a 1911 and S&W 10xx to my collection but I'm starting to think that the "best" 10mm is the G20. I hope my wife will let me get an OD G20 SF from Bud's before they run out.

  Wish you lived close so you could shoot mine. The 1911 capacity was wrong and the Glock grip too much front to rear

Glock 10mm's rock.
