Anyone have experience with these? Positive or negative I'd love to hear it. I understand they don't have mags for these from mecgar. That might mean its a gun that misfdeeds. My redrag that originally came with my full size was crap. Want to gift one of these to someone to help promote 10mm but can't afd to get them a glock 29. Don't want to be giving a lemon. I'veworked through problems on my stuff but a novice doesn't need to deal with any of that.
First, the good: the gun is pretty accurate in my hands. I like the trigger. Felt recoil is manageable - just about right.
The not so good: I haven't been able to find magazines that feed properly - no K10 mags for the compact, although the K10 will fit it (just don't load it fully). The owner's manual states right on the cover not to shoot any high-pressure ammo through it, which to my way of thinking means only shoot the factory loads through it. The slide rockets back and forth until you change the RSA setup. I use a Sprinco guide rod with a 19# Wolff spring. As soon as I installed it, I wondered why I waited so long. I have only good things to say about Sprinco. Others use the Hennings cone rod.
The bad: even though I only shot factory loads through mine, the slide cracked in the RSA housing. EAA replaced the slide under warranty, so no complaints about that.
For me, the compact is kind of like an ugly girlfriend - you love her, but you're not sure why.
Haha! Thx for the review and reply. Phone was jacked up and misspelled some words. Also wouldn't allow me to correct anything that was wrong. Don't know why. Was hot?
Will have to go with a fullsize model then. They can be had for around 430 last I looked. Was thinking this might be a great gift for my brother. Liked the size of the compact should he choose to carry but if it's not reliable then it's not reliable. Lol, I like my thick girls but he's all about skinny models:) (has to work) :D
Appreciate it.
Any time. Glad to help.
Had one. Accurate as all. For me the most accurate pistol I shot. But those dreaded mags. You would think by now they would have newer ones. I don't see the Wonder Finish ones around too much.
You can always buy the Standard Length, Full Sized 10mm along with a Compact Upper an have yourself a nice Semi Compact:

If one looks at the CZ PCR, you will see almost a carbon copy of the steel Witness Compact. That CZ might be better suited. Also mag capacity at 10 instead of stuffing 12 in
.
I'm not seeing this available in 10mm anywhere.
It's not in 10mm. However the frame, ergonomics are pretty much in par. I just wish CZ would produce one. I was just comparing same frame.
