Just received my EAA Witness Hunter PROTOTYPE HOLSTER Designed by Myself; Fabricated by FIST, INC.

I USED TO THINK THAT PUTTING A SCREW INTO A HOLE WAS SIMPLE NOT TRUE and I HAD ONLY 4 TO PUT INTO PLACE.... THIS PROCESS CAN RUIN A GUN, IF NOT DONE PROPERLY 1st> The thread size; count; depth may or may not match the pistol tap... (It would be nice to be able to assume the supplier would provide a screw that would in fact fit) 2nd> Forcing any of the 4 mis-aligned screws home can warp the bridge...and leave a gap between the bridge and pistol (ALL 4 need to be torqued down evenly) 3rd> Forcing the screw (because you think its a tight fit) can cross thread mis-matched international sizing... IF THE SCREW AND PISTOL TAP are a match THEN proceed to align ALL 4 screws TO THE SAME DEPTH before tightening down the bridge... LENGTH: My RHT screws were maybe 1/32 too short, and I advised RHT Engineers of that fact. I then used my STS C-More screws which matched the tap.. my RHT screws are 1/32 too long for the mount to frame,....won't allow slide to cycle. I am going to trim them with a dremel LENGTH: My RHT screws were maybe 1/32 too short, and I advised RHT Engineers of that fact. I then used my STS C-More screws which matched the EAA tap BETTER

TO SAY THAT THIS INDUSTRY IS NOW UNDER-ENGINEERED, IS TO BE TOO KIND

FIST98 has taken the order and will provide a Leather Holster in about 6 weeks..

How to get a holster for my 6" Witness Hunter w/STS I asked fist98@aol.com if I could provide a pistol mold and holster prototype...They agreed.. WOOD PISTOL BLANK: Process, shaped a 1" plank to profile; Then laminated a 1/4" panel to make thickness; Then laminated panel to duplicate Scope Bridge... Lots of wood working, but fun to do.. HOLSTER MOCK UP: NO, I am not going postal, But the old postal cardboard was easy to shape with a hot glue gun... Finally with a few more USER FRIENDLY modifications it ready to ship to FIST

This is my status on how to get a holster for my 6" Witness Hunter w/STS fist98@aol.com advised that I could send them my pistol...Ouch not a good idea I asked if I could provide a pistol mold for making the holster...They agreed.. OK: That being done...its time to design a holster.. NO, I am not going postal... SEE MY NEW POSTING: "CANT FIND ONE - THEN MAKE ONE"

When you find one, let us know. I can only find a "universal", that doesn't allow the red dot. I have eMailed with fist98@aol.com and have agreed to provide them with a shaped wood block for leather casting of the 6" Witness Hunter w/ STS.. I am looking for a Open top hip holster, for my Military web belt & suspender rig.

THIS WAS THE 1ST DAY ON THE RIFLE RANGE AT 75' FREEHAND AND 1ST FULL MAG OF 10

Winchester 10mm AUTO 175gr SilverTip HP 1250fps; 649'/#

Winchester 10mm AUTO 175gr SilverTip HP 1250fps; 649'/# My NEW EAA w/S.African RHT Mount and C-More STS at the BLACK WING SHOOTING CENTER. This my 1st 10Round Clip (after a 2 shot STS sight in.) It was FREE HAND; SLOW FIRE @ 75' NOW I NEED A Hip HOLSTER for this RIG

LOOKS like a lot to carry in the woods Is it a 10mm; ie: 1290 fps w/ 649 # of knock down power..

Thanks for ALL of your input, on my problems mounting my 6"Barrel 10m/m Witness Hunter with a Red Dot Sight.. It took 2 weeks to get delivery of the pre-drilled Tanfoglio RHT Mount from S. AFRICA, but they answered any and all questions I had.. I purchased the C-More STS, it requires NO ADAPTOR and has a BATTERY DRAWER.. (no need to remove sight to change it) I sold the Burris STS on eBay and took a $50 loss.. and JUNKED the EAA recommended "OVERSIZED" BRIDGE / WEAVER RAIL MOUNT another $140 loss.. NOW I NEED A HOLSTER for this rig..

JUST GOT MINE IN 10m/m... IT CAME IN A REALLY NICE TANFOGLIO LOCKABLE CASE Single Mag; Extra set of springs... I ordered a RHT Mount from South Africa and a STS C-More Sight.. (cant wait to mount these) I have used a Desert Eagle .357 with a small scope in the past for deer hunting in Ohio... Cant wait to field this 10m/m Any recomendations for a holster??

FINAL SOLUTION Sold my new Burris on eBay (took the $50 loss) Sh--Canned the EAA out of date rail mount (took the $140 loss) Purchased the RHT C-More STS 4-hole Tanfoglio Mount Purchased the STS C-More 7 I hope this information will save someone else a lot of grief and cash...

OUCH, I have read my forum: Witness Hunter not happy with Red Dot Sight mount design THANKS to the lack of current and/or forthcoming info being provided by EAA and/or C-More on the STS subject.. I am still in the process of what should have been a simple mounting to pre-taped frame holes, of a practical sight on my Tanfoglio 6"barrel 10m/m Witness Hunter .. Not to mention a waste of between $140 and $350 (yet to be determined) in the process of connecting a pistol to a mount then to a adaptor then to a sight..
