Bobboo Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I just ordered the EAA large frame Pro 45 acp. double action on first shot. Is there any issues with this model. I would think feeding would be good , due to the larger caliber. I have feeding problems with the 40 & 9mm. But I like the feel of the gun so much, I thought I would give the 45acp a try in IDPA (CDP) & Limited 10 for USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After sighting it in, it grouped shots really well. I have put 400 rnds of every type of 45 ammo I have and no jams. Also a plus was the fact that my EAA 40cal mags also work in it with the 45 ammo. Which saved me a few bucks buying extra mags.I will add a few things from Hennings custom parts to lighten the double & single action trigger. Recoil was about what you would expect from a 45, but very managable. Bobboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pivoproseem Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So, will it make weight for CDP? I know my 9mm Match is kinda of porky, and adding a magwell would push it over the 43oz mark. The .40 Match I have is lighter... I just ordered the EAA large frame Pro 45 acp. double action on first shot. Is there any issues with this model.

CHA-LEE Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Bobboo> You need to check out the IDPA rules. The EAA Limited Pro is 9 inches long and exceeds the maximum length requirement for all gun divisions (SSP, ESP, CDP). The IDPA rule book states that the gun must fit in a box that is 8 3/4 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 1 5/8 inches deep. So unless you can shift the gun at an angle to jam it into the box its not legal. Its perfectly legal for Limited 10 division in USPSA though.

JJH Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 If you really wanted to you could mill off the beavertail and get that 1/2". I don't think that would be IDPA legal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 It might be easier to mill out the box so the beaver tail can hang out a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobboo Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Bobboo Here: EAA Limited Pro 45 acp. You have to get a little creative to meet the rules for IDPA to make CDP. Remove 1/4" off the beaver tale, use the plastic mag pad etc. My scale says 40.05 oz. It will fit in the box even with out removing material from the beaver tail. But you have to cant it a little.
