Just picked up a new Match today. I'm really impressed with the fit and finish on this thing. What a sharp looking gun. Had more than a few people eyeballing it. No malfunctions out of 100 rounds. Was shooting a bit low so I adjusted the sites. Just shot some mild stuff this time out. Will have to locate my 160 grain Underwood. Know I have a box or two left.

Are the EAA's doing well these days, the match was going to be my next pistol but it looks I'll have to hold off a bit.

Yes they are if you get match or above. Also new mags with black followers.
I have 2 with more uppers. It's all good.

That's good news, they sure offer alot of bang for the buck!

They are doing quite well these days. I have a steel full size and the Match. Booth good shooters.

Yes they are and have since introduction. I'm searching for my elusive Match!

My Elite Match is one of my favorite guns to shoot.  Eats anything, accurate.  A little big for EDC, but a great range gun.

Is anyone carrying the match?  I know it's on the large side.  I've seen the match in 9mm, but not in 10mm.  How wide is the grip compared to say G20?

I find the G20 too large for my hands and I'm hoping the EAA Match would fit my hands better.

Intercooler

It will fit your hands better for sure!

Dave84

I own booth and have medium sized hands. I find the G20 almost too big where the Match fit my hand quite nicely.

Do it. Think you will be very happy. Not making it down to the range this weekend but I just pulled it out of the safe to admire it a little. Very nice looking gun and for 569 I couldn't be more happy with it.

Took this thing to the range today for its 2nd outing and it was amazing. I zeroed the sites in to where they need to be. Last time I shot 50 armscor. It may as well be a glorified 40. Underwood's 40's would probably be stouter. I also shot 50 LAX which are decent. Kind of like a Remington load. Not bad.
This time I shot 100 rounds of UW 165 grain. Not one malfunction. Thing shoots dead on with little recoil even with this load. I'm thinking it has to be the fact that the match is all steel weighing in at nearly three pounds. Had my Glock 29 with me to compare it to and the recoil isn't the same beast at all. Felt kind of like shooting a somewhat hot 45 in a 1911. What an excellent gun for an affordable price!
