[Eaa Witness Hunter For Limited...]

There have been many more than 500 EAA longlside topends in .40/10mm/38 etc made in the past, and it would seem that would meet the "or component" argument. Just thinking out loud.

I would suspect that if true this might be sufficient.

To satisfy the process I believe that a statement is required by the manufacturer to that effect.

Maybe Henning could get EAA/Tanfoglio make that statement? Or a statement about the production numbers of the Hunter?

Guys,

Sent the email below off to John Amidon:

Dear Sir,

I would like to inquire as to whether the EAA Witness Hunter pistol as

pictured on page 6 of the EAA corp 2007 catalog would be legal for use

in limited division.

Below is a link to the catalog in question:

Peter Adams

CRO

FY-39604

got the following response:

Hi Peter,

Sorry to say, no. It is considered a proto type.

Yes there are other 6" guns out there that are legal, as well as the STI

TruSight with the expansion chamber such as the

Hunter has, but the STI was approved in a 5" barrel and only .40S&W caliber.

NROI has nothing on file from EAA requesting this gun be approved for

Limited and that a minimum of 500 have been

produced and available to the general public.

Regards,

John Amidon

So it seems that it is not a problem with any features of the gun but rather with the proof of production numbers. Maybe someone close to EAA or Tanfoglio could get that ball rolling?

I sent off an email to dnroi@uspsa.org earlier this month asking about this gun and never got a response. Has anyone else asked them? I had forgotten about it until I saw this thread. Sounds like I need to ask again.
