Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of the slide stop breakage issue. The Witness I am looking at is a large frame version, as mentioned by J-Ho and Krautwagen. It's offered in 9x19, 38 Super, 40 S&W, 10mm, and 45 ACP. I have heard that the 10mm version of the large frame witness has had issues in the past when using full power loads. I was originally thinking about a 38 Super, but I don't want to add another caliber right now. Carlos: Who's this Angus you speak of? Is he on the CZ forum?

I've been wanting a Witness Elite Match for awhile now. For about $500, it seems like a lot of gun for the money. I've been thing about 38 Super, yet just realized that 357 Sig would likely work better for me. I already have a couple of 40s, and 357 Sig brass is plentiful since my local PD leaves it laying at the local range. So, what needs to be done to have a Witness in 357 Sig (Assuming I start with a 40)? I know of no one who supplies an aftermarket barrel in 357. I assume that I'd need to buy a 9mm or 38 super barrel and have it reamed to 357. Are these assumptions valid?

Winchester makes what they call a "hollow soft point." See Winchester 30 Carbine HSP BTW, the soft points by Remington and Federal are reported to expand decently if that's what you're looking for.

Thanks to everyone for the info. I knew that this would be the place for answers to Witness questions.

My next handgun purchase will be a EAA Witness Elite Match in 38 Super. These seem like really nice pistols for the price. I plan to buy 1k of new brass from Starline. However, I'm not sure if the Witness works best with the rimmed Super/Super +P brass or the rimless Super Comp brass. Also, are there any advantages of running the rimless Comp brass? I assume that I could swap out the extractor with a 9mm version if the rimless brass has some advantage. TIA, -Joe
