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.
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.
