  The Hunter is the tank of the entire line and will be the softest shooting. That 6" barrel really wrings out what the 10mm can offer as well. Now the Limited will have a tad more kick and might be more fun to you. I know when I personally shoot both using hot ammo, more rounds can be ran through the Hunter without any fatigue. I love both though and you might also want to look at the Limited Pro which comes in a tad cheaper than both.

So if you had to choose, which would it be?  Hunter or Limited?  I know they are pretty different concepts.  Are the triggers or accuracy potential significantly different? (notwithstanding the sight radius of course but if I mounted an optic that would be moot)  I have a 6" 1911, and Sig 220 and a 1006 so i am not trying to fill a gap, other than just wanting a nice example of an EAA 10mm for range use.

Also, been looking at the recommended upgrade to 10mm EAAs.  Is a coned guide rod (Erik G, Henning, Sprinco, DPM) even available for the Hunter or is that less of an issue than it sounds?  thanks
I picked one up this summer and it had a guide rod that accomplishes what the conical guide rods accomplish. Here's pics I took to explain on the CZ forum, hope they help.

That's correct! The Hunter comes all set with it's own version of the "cone" guide-rod we install in the other pistols. I think the cross-pin holding the two pieces together is about the only thing to ever go.

I have an Elite Match and it works well for me.

Elite match was my first 10mm and my favorite.  No issues in the 500 or so rounds thru it.  I see the prices today and kick myself for not picking up one in 45ACP when CDNN had them for under $500.

The steel fixed sight version?  What do you have for magazines and what was the recoil setup before?
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I don't check in very often.
Yes, it is the standard steel witness compact barrel & slide which has been ported. it lives on a full-size standard steel frame from a .45 acp. Witness. I have a compact mag or two, but never use them. I use the full-size 10mm mags. The recoil system was stock Witness Compact 10mm before I tinkered with it.
