Pretty.  Does it shoot like the 97B? I don't know much about Witness.

It shoots just like my 75B. It really is the exact same pistol in a bigger caliber. It even fits in my 75 holsters. No ambi safeties though... I guess that works for me. THe safety on my SP-01 is always getting turned off...  :rolleyes:
It really is a nice firearm. Fit is great and finish is ok. But as I have said before, this gun will not be a safe queen.  It's a "working gun". And the price is amazing. I've never had any failures from my other Witness, and I imagine this one will be about the same!

Where did you get yours?  Any on-line shop where I can check its price?

I got mine at a local dealer for an amazing price. $340, I think. Like $365 out the door. I'll find some links...
Hmm... Here's one with the .22lr conversion for just under $500...

Just about everyone has them. If you are in the market, I can call my guy and see if he has any left. They are great guns. You can get conversion kits for $250 in everything from .22lr to 38 Super to 10mm. Great times!

The Match chfields linked you to is a sweet firearm. A hundred+ more, but worth it if you have the extra. I'm hoping to get a Match in 10mm, but no one has them in stock when I have any money haha

Well, the Shadow would be a damn fine weapon, but personally, I can't spend that kind of coin on something I would have to be so careful with haha! Like I said, I got mine for $360 out the door, one mag, pistol case, and trigger lock. Great deal. I love CZs as the highest in pistol-y goodness. But there is something about these that I just adore. It probably has something to do with the conversion kits. I can't wait to get a conversion kit for 10mm!

$360??  A great deal!   The conversion kit would be definitely handy. (esp. for .22LR)

How do you like 10mm. compared to .45 ACP ?  Very long time ago, I shot it once.  It was a bit too much. But then, I did not know anything about shooting.

OK. I hate responding on my phone but sometimes I can't help it. Anyway, yeah. I haven't fired the 10mm... I've fired hot .40 S&W and didn't care for it much. However, that was out of sub-compacts, and I have pretty big hands. So, while i probably won't love the 10mm nearly as much as I love my old standard the 9mm Para, it is just a cool round with almost rifle-like capabilities...  :laugh:
