Hi everyone,
New here but notice some names from the CZForum so that's nice. Anyway, just ordered an EAA Witness Hunter Part# EAA-600250 which has a somewhat skeletonized slide. As this lightens the slide I was wondering if anyone that has this version has shot hot loads with the Wolff 20lb spring and if so how did it perform? I'd think with the weight reduction an 18lb spring might be better for the big boy ammo. Any thoughts? Photo enclosed of this version of the Hunter.

Wow, I just ordered the same gun. :D
Looking forward to the feedback you are asking for. :D
You have excellent taste Mikey ;)
You also Artist. :D
I ordered from Battlehawk Armory, it says it is "Camo", but I found no pics of it anywhere and I looked for days.
I took a leap of faith and at the price of $759 I got, it could be neon pink for all I care. :P

Mikey,
I've seen some different versions of the Witness camo, they all looked good. My favorite was a black/grey camo pattern, really sharp. Make sure you post a photo when you get yours.
:o I was hoping EAA wouldn't adopt this to more models
Intercooler, Which, the Camo paintjob or the skeletonized slide?
Artist,
If you haven't already, you might wanna post your question on these boards also.

Prices aren't bad either. I sure like the camo on my P220 Hunter

Very cool! 8)
Mikey,
I believe I will, I've been a member of the CZ forum for longer than I can remember. I bought one of the original 75 SP-01 Shadow's from back when you had to call Angus and request competition upgrades over the phone, which of course I did :D
I've since swapped out the rubber grips for the flat aluminum ones and after thousands of rounds and god knows how many dry fires on a rubber O ring the trigger is smooth as silk. But other than that she's just like the day I bought her.

I have the 20# spring and am loading hot loads. Just ordered a 22# at the advice of a competition shooter. I have 2 Witness Pro's. I ordered the Wolff Springs combo with the hammer spring included. And yes it made a big difference. The recoil even with the 20# spring broke a Holosun.
We sell +8 booster springs if you want to go even higher. It's a dual spring setup with a smaller diameter guide rod.
You could run a 16 pound outer spring, with our +8 inner and be at 24 or whatever you like. You can go to 30# plus if you want.

I only have one lil ole CZ. It is one of the rare Satin Nickel CZ97B's though. :D
Most accurate best shooting gun I own. :D
I too am a member/lurker on the CZ Forum.
Pic is not mine, but mine is a twin of the pictured one. :D

Way nice Mikey
I wish they would come up with a different way to mount an optic in this gun.

I just got my 20# spring from Wolff as well as their calibration pack, both came with extra hammer springs. So, with the three recoil springs that came with the pistol I should be able to tune for whatever loads I happen to be running on any given day.

Skeletonized slides! Just something I don't feel was needed, makes cleaning a little tougher and not my flavor.
Plus, doesn't the weight loss from the slide cause potential reliability issues?
Hi all,
Got my Camo Hunter. It is done in the same color of blue, all over. :P
It is just the blued version as pictured in the first post and it's a beauty.
No idea why it was advertised as camo, maybe they only had a few, but mine is standard blue.
I am waiting for my Wolff Longslide spring set to take her shooting.

Intercooler, It seems like the skeletonized slide on mine is thicker than a regular slide so I don't believe it's reduced in weight over the previous hunters. I don't have a sample of the regular slide to tell for sure. I went on the Tanfoglio website and it would appear to be using the slide blank from their much more expensive Tanfoglio Witness Match Xtreme with different slide grip cuts. Of course the Tanfoglio Witness Match Xtreme also has a much nicer trigger and hammer but I don't think they make up for the substantial price difference. I'm thinking they had way more of the Tanfoglio Witness Match Xtreme slides than the market required so they used them for the hunters. Could end up being a very small run of this set up on the hunter, time will tell. Either way, it's pretty badass in person.

Don't forget that even though the slide has been cut, it's still a longslide and the weight is likely that of a standard slide. I'd leave it as it came from the factory.
Hi Gary,
Leaving the spring it came with in the pistol is the plan especially with the S&B ammo I currently have unless it has any issues. The stiffer springs are there to fine tune if needed with full power Underwood or Buffalo Bore.
Photo attached, she's even prettier in person, and so much nicer in high resolution but we need to keep them small to post.
