Any first hand experience with a Witness 45 ACP? Quality, accuracy, Dependability, feel, good choice, bad choice? They seem to be priced right, but if its a non trustworthy piece, then I'd rather spend more. Any help?Thanks Paul

    I wouldn't have it as my # 1 concealed carry if it wasn't a true performer. I've run probably 1500 rds. through mine [the poly w/wonder finish] and it's never jammed, always dead-on and not too heavy for a full size .45. I do carry in a fannie pack, though. That makes a difference.You'd be hard pressed to find a more dependable .45 for the buckaroos.Tideman

    I own one. Full size Witness .45. I think it is the most underated gun on the market today. If you are looking to buy one get it, you will not be sorry.

    Roger all of the above....I had a SS compact and traded it off ...been sorry ever since.. the guy that got it won't let me have it back. The only thing I've ever had that shot better is a 1911 that is bigger than I prefer to carry.... Just my humble opinion.....[This message has been edited by JIM STARK (edited 12-16-2001).]

    These guns do not need the qualifier "for the price" added. They are just plain great guns. I love the grip and the ten rounds of .45ACP. Accurate and reliable. Their only shortcoming (which may not be a shortcoming to some) is that they have no decocker to help in lowering the hammer on a live round. They can be carried cocked and locked, or hammer down either with the safety on or off.I am still looking for a true stainless (not Wonder Finish or Hard Chrome) .38 Super Witness so I can utilize the 19-round magazines I have! (Twenty rounds of .38 Super sounds like a good combination to me.) Any for sale out there? The long-discontinued Springfield P9 is the same basic gun, and I would be interested in any true stainless P9s as well.
