EAA Tanfoglio Witness Match 40 ACP ?
Anyone own or has test fired an EAA Tanfoglio Witness Match pistol in either 40 cal. or 45 cal.? My local gunshop has a fine condition one in the case for well below book value. Would like to know what overall experience anyone has had with one of these including accuracy. Thanks

Re: EAA Tanfoglio Witness Match 40 ACP ?
I've got one in .45 and can't speak to the intrinsic accuracy. I'm not good enough for that. I found it to be large, heavy, and very "shootable", i.e. I tend to shoot better groups than I expect. That last is a pretty meaningless way to say "I like it".BAMO wrote:Anyone own or has test fired an EAA Tanfoglio Witness Match pistol in either 40 cal. or 45 cal.?

I intend, in the near future, to bench test it for accuracy as soon as I get a rail, scope, and rings on it. If you're not in much hurry, I should be able to post something here in a couple of weeks.
I have Witness Match pistols in 45, 9mm, and 38 Super. They are really well made, very accurate, and reliable. I shoot the 45 for Major in bowling pin matches and the 9mm for Minor. One thing to be careful of is choosing the older models with the bomar-type rear sights. All of the new Witness Match pistols (except the Stock II) have smaller less target-oriented sights. If the one you are looking at is one that has the great target rear sight, you will not be disappointed.
