  1. The Witness steel is a great pistol but as many have said, the sights are lacking. I added the (expensive) LPA rear adjustable sight to my .45 ACP version, which helped me shoot more accurately.
     

    The LPA sight is good but I think you can get Williams Firesights for it. They are excellent all metal adjustable sights, reasonably priced and you get both front and rear.

  2. I just bought this pistol in .45 ACP. I don't complete with it; I just like the gun's looks, features and performance. I only had to adjust the LPA rear sight a few clicks up and to the left to get it on target. It came with a fiber optic sight but

    I haven't installed it yet. These targets are from 10 yards. The pistol is extremely accurate with 185 gr semi-wadcutter match ammo with minimal recoil. Standard 230 gr. loads are more pronounced in comparison.

    I had to purchase another mag and Henning Shop base plate so the mag would fit the mag well, butl I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It would serve as an outstanding competition, range gun or SD firearm.

    She is a Beaut for sure! Did you buy the new style grips, or did it come with it? Any reason you chose 45 over the 40?

    It came with the grips in the in the picture.

    .45 ACP is my personal preference.

  4. Saw the news about its introduction at this year's SHOT show. Looks a lot like the Tanfoglio Stock III Xtreme without the rail at around the same price point.
    SAO trigger and ambi safety is nice. Could be a potential candidate for my safe. Just waiting to see how the street price levels out.

    Beautiful pistol.

  5. I think the greatest benefit to IDPA is the feeling and eventual familiarization of what adrenaline dump feels like in a shooting situation. Then, the opportunity
    to think (especially), practice and improve your shooting in spite of it. You need to know what adrenaline feels like and how to function when it does.

  6. So I got my pistol in today in .45 ACP and its gorgeous. I removed the front post sight easy enough. When I tried to insert the fiber optic sight, it did not easliy fit into the dovetail. Hate to think I need to sand my brand new sight so that it fits into my brand new gun. That's wack. I love the gun and I definitely plan to do the silver Xtreme grips. Also got an 11 lb, 3.5 oz. recoil spting and a 12.5 lb. recoil spring. Not sure why I would use them since I fully expect the spring it has in it to work perfectly (+P loads maybe?). Please educate me...

    Being a lefty, I got totally robbed with the thumbrest being on left side instead of the right side where it BELONGS. But I'll live with it. Over the top with plusses vs. than minuses.

  7. I think the Stock III looks incomplete with the standard hammer. So for cosmetic reasons, will the hart hammer work on the Stock III with no degradation in function? How difficult is it to change out? I'll probably end up sending it somewhere to get it done anyhow. I don't like jacking with it if I don't know what I'm doing.

  8. Thanks, i did those my self. We build precision bolt/AR platform rifles, although my new found love of USPSA shooting got me involved with these tanfos in my free time. They're a really nice pistol platform.

    I will have a Stock III in hand probably in about a week. I'm already looking at sending it it off to J & L Gunsmithing for that Burnt Bronze and Sniper Black color combo. I love it.

    Its a beautiful pistol. Would also like to get a Hart hammer installed to make it look just the way I want. Probably won't do that until I put some rounds through it though. OTOH, maybe I might.
