I've recently been offered an EAA Witness Match Elite .45 ACP in excellent condition with 4 mags and Dawson Precision sights in trade for my my very good condition Glock 35 with 5 mags, Dawson Precision sights, and Bladetech Black Ice kydex holster. I know very little about the Witness pistols other than that they are CZ75 clones and that there is a following in the competition world, more so in Europe than in U.S.
What can you tell me about this pistol, good and bad? Some reviews say they are very accurate and the best kept secret in the gun industry, others show of problems with frames pitting and cracking, and overall reliability issues.
What is this pistol currently worth? Seller claims this pistol can sell for $800-1000. I think it's a bit inflated and probably averages new for $750. I believe my package is worth about $600-650. What say you...is this a good or bad deal? I am concerned that if I don't like the pistol or there is a problem with it, I won't be able to sell it and get my money out of it (risky). Seems to be a small market for these guns since many aren't aware of EAA/Tanfoglio.
