See what you started HoMie. J/K.

I hear you about politics. I can't stand them, I just like to shoot and have fun. I like going to Eugene, but seeing the turn out makes me not want to go. I don't understand what is the real cause for the low turn out. Eugene and Albany is just as far for Homie and I to drive, but Albany has a lot more shooters. I guess this why COSSA is not a popular???? Maybe it is really the distance to get there. We just can't attract new shooters???? If it is really the distance so be it. At least I can understand that, but if it is something else then hey tell COSSA's match Director or Homie. I for one will be moving out of state for a couple of years. So I will miss all of the people and clubs that I shot with and at. But I plan of coming back in 2 years or less. I hope by then all this BS can get worked out. All or Oregon's clubs are great. Sure hate to see this happen.

I can''t figure out myself why there isn't much of a turn out from the other CCS clubs members in COSSA? Maybe the drive??? I guess HoMie and I are the only one that is crazy enough to drive 2-3 hours for a match.

I have a 9mm. I like it a lot. Made my own big stick. I was only able to use the stock followers to make it run. I did however got the Grams to work. I notice you are from Oregon. Where do you shoot?

Hey Pete, I guess I have to watch my back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see you shoot Open, bro.

pm sent on the feeding problems.

Do you mean Sharon? She's the ONLY person at EAA worth talking to. Paul, their gunsmith is a.... well..... if you get bored some time, give him a call and you'll see! Ooops, you are right. Sorry Sharon. She is definitely helpful.

Got mine thru my FFL dealer back then. EAA has a great customer service rep lady. I think her name is Angela? I think Henning should be the man. He is very knowledgeable on these guns. Henning ordered 5 I think. He had 2 sold when I placed my order. They are due in... well, now... EAA is a pain to get anything from. He has the 38super not the 9s. The 30day est is a joke. You will be lucky to get one in 50 and, most likely 90. I think he wanted $1699 for his. Henning ordered his a couple of months ago, so you have a better chance of seeing one in short order from him. Plus he works with you and will tune it for comps. He also tunes mags. I waited for a couple on months also for mine.

The gun cost me $1400 with for mags. Does not include the cmore, carbon fiber scope mount and thumb rest. The carbon is from Eric Graufel. I wanted to have the same look as his gun. It is not cheap!!!! But thats just me. I wanted to pimp it out.....

In regards to the reamer, from what I understand being a polygon rifling, the standard 9mm reamers out there are to tight for this barrel. If there are any gunsmith out there that that can shine in and perhaps can perform the throating of my gun, I would like them to contact me. But at least for now my gun runs without any problems! I am happy with the 9mm, but please don't tell Henning this. The 38 super comp does have its advantages from its case design to more powder choices due to longer case.

I hope this works. My first attempt in attaching pics.

Loading long is a problem since the throat depth will not allow to chamber the longer rounds. I have tried loading to 1.17 and it wont chamber the rounds. The slide will not fully close. I tried 1.165 and sometimes it doesn't work. I finally decided to load to 1.15 and have good luck with it since. I also ask EGW to throat is longer but George said that they dont have the reamer for it??????? I wish someone here can help. I think that if I get this throated it will open up more powder selections. The gun has a 3 hole and a small pop hole on the comp., plus has 8 total (4 per side) pop holes on the slide/barrel itself. I wish I knew how to post with pictures. Loading long is a problem since the throat depth will not allow to chamber the longer rounds. I have tried loading to 1.17 and it wont chamber the rounds.

I have last years model of the witness gold in the 9mm major. If you ask Henning he prefers the 38 super. I have mine working great using HS6, 125 grain JHP Zeros, loaded to 1.15 aol. It runs great. Only draw back is that you have to make your own 170 mm mags and doing a fast reload is slightly difficult than sv/sti mags. I have the CPMI base pads and now use Grams followers and springs. It took me awhile to make everything work. But now that it works I am happy with it. This thing really shoot flat!!!!!!!!!

Get rid of it and buy a new one. You going to Norco with us?

You might already know this, but I would call Henning. He is the man on Tanfoglio....

That is exactly why I bought it. It is a great price. Once Henning gets the 170 mags or base pads, it will be a nice alternative option to STI/SV. Only draw back in using a 9mm, are the magazines(only for now). With the cpmi base pads I am only able to load 22 rounds using the stock follower/spring, cause the Grams followers works best only in 38 super. Although I was told that maybe it has to do with my load? I will test this out Friday. I am also working on my welded 170 mm mags. So far I am only able to use the stock follower with wolf extra power springs that only allows 26-27 rounds. I guess 27 is better than nothing??? With Grams, if I can get it to work, it will allow me to load 29. I am going to test a Grams set up this Friday.

EAA/Tanfoglio is an option if cost is a concern. I got mine for $1400 in 9mm major plus 4 mags, not including the scope and mounts. Only drawback are the 170mm mags. There are none until Henning gets them. Go and talk to Henning. He can set you up.

I agree. I switch from 38 super to a 9mm when my gun was less than a year old. I found out each match I would lose half of my brass. Given the amount I decided to go and shoot, it became very expensive. Now the best part of shooting 9mm is I dont pick up brass anymore even when practicing.

Started with a Square Deal, I switch over to the 1050 last year. I like the 1050 much better.

I like my Witness Elite Gold Team gun a lot. You can't beat the price of the gun. Plus 3 time world champion, enough said. Yes only draw back is the lack of 170mm mag. You can make your own, like I did. But I hope that will change soon. Ramiro

Wow, I am honored. Thank you for the time to explain this Henning. Ramiro

I have always wondered why there is not a lot of popularity in these guns? They seem to be built well, and are doing fine in Europe? Why not here in US? The price is right.

I am also considering in doing this for some time now. Please let us know the outcome.

Got my 170mm mags that I sent off to the welder. It works great with the stock follower and spring but can't get the Grams set up to work. I am using it for 9mm. Check with Henning and he has not tried it at all in 9mm. Can anyone offer advice?

got my 170 mm mags that I had welded back. It works okay. I mean it works great with the stock follower and spring but cant seem to get the Grams set up to work. I talk with Henning and he mentioned that he has not tried it in a 9mm. Can anyone offer advice?
