EAA is an import house. So it depends on what they import.

The Witness series autos are Italian clones of the CZ-75 action type, and have a decent reputation.

The "Windicator" DA wheelguns are just crap.

The "Bounty Hunters" are made on tooling originally set up by JP Sauer of Germany, related to Sig-Sauer. They're pretty good...kind of a "German Ruger". Main reason they never caught on big is you can get a real Ruger for not much more and get a slightly better gun and far better after-sale support.

The "Great Western II" is made by Pietta in Italy and have an excellent reputation as long as you don't need a drop-safe gun (in other words, authentic Colt SAA clone).
