EAA Witness Carry P observations...and my PT92AF is a goner.

So I did it…

I had recently acquired a new Taurus PT92AF….for about $300. I had a friend that needed money badly so I took him up on his offer…
I like the PT92AF but like the Beretta 92 this is a heavy pistol and about as wide a grip as I can handle before it would be considered too big.
Looking around for options, I happened across many articles on the EAA Witness P Carry. I found a guy on Armslist with a new one and traded straight across. I now have a few observations.

1) The Witness fits my hand VERY well and has a 16+1 capacity. So well, in fact, it almost seems like a single stack 9mm.
2) I consider the Springfield XDM to have the best finish of available polymer pistols. I give them a 10. I give Glock a 9. This EAA deserves an 8.5 Fit and finish are very nice and I appreciate the polished barrel.
3) One magazine sucks but I found them at Midway. Cheap at $24 as far as mags seem to be going these days.
4) Take down is a snap – just like the CZ it is cloned after.
5) I realize the PT92AF sells for about $500 new…and about $450 in LNIB on sites like NWFA. I found the Witness Carry P anywhere from $350 (Gunbroker and Guns America) all the way up to almost $550-600 (Gander Mountain and Buds) I feel the trade was fair considering I only had $300 into it regardless of what the PT92AF “might” have sold for…
6) It is VERY comfortable and more than 1/3 pound lighter (6 ounces) than the PT92AF
7) Got to put about 100 rounds down range late this afternoon. ZERO FTE, FTF, or jams. It shot perfectly. :thumbup:
8) Love the beavertail!
9) Love the ability to carry cocked and locked.
10) Wish it had a decocker


Over all…I am really happen with this somewhat uncommon pistol. It has, however, made me lust over getting a CZ 75D. :laugh:
