TrooperJoe Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 New to this forum and need advise on the below described project. I recently purchased an EAA Witness 9mm ( that according to EAA was imported in 2013) that I want to convert to a 38 Super. I have purchased a 38 Super Barrel, 2 - 38 Super magazines and a dual recoil spring assembly that was recommended by EAA. I will plan to have the barrel fitted by a local high end gun smith but I am having questions on the recoil spring assembly. I talked to Dawn at EAA yesterday to discuss the fitting of the barrel and the dual recoil spring. I read one set of data the seemed to indicate that the 9mm and the 38 Super take the same spring. Her response was that I should just go ahead and use the stock, single spring, 9mm recoil spring system that came with the gun I think I will purchase the Henning recoil spring assembly and possibly a recoil buffer if it is needed. I do want to retain the capability of using the gun as a 9 mm also so any changes must be reversible. I would sure like some comments or advise on this conversion. I am doing this project since EAA informed me that they have not imported a 38 Super Compact since 2007. Thanks a lot for you help, Trooper Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I have a Tanfo with a 9mm slide and 38 super barrel which will not chamber 38 Super brass, only Supercomp. The 9mm breech face is slightly smaller than the 38 Super. I do have a 38 super slide for sale though Additionally I have a like new 38 super slide for $150 shipped: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domingo Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi kneelingatlas, I know it's been a while since this post, but I was interested in your 38 super slide for the Tanfo compact, if still available. Let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
