Not yet, but im ordering the springco buffer guide rod and then the calibration pack and pretty muxh every spring wolff makes for them. 99% sure mine is the new styleqnd uses the short mainspring but i love wolff springs as they are great quality, priced right an made in my home state Pennsylvania. But i figure with the sprinco rod/buffer system an a 22# wolf spring underwood and some full power hand loads shouldn't be a problem. It does have the "sqaure" slide and not the round so shouldn't have any issues. Will not be shooting any full powers till the springs and rod come in

What do you mean? Sorry noob here
For a few years the EAA witness had a "scolloped" or "contoured" slide. (this picture is not my gun)
(http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx67/dondavis3/Guns/EAAWitness9mm004.jpg)
One or more batches of this style slide received a bad heat treatment process making them overly brittle. As a result, they would crack, especially with stout 10mm loads. At first EAA refused to fix them, then they pulled their heads out and starting replacing them grudgingly, and finally by the end somewhat willingly (for EAA CS standards).
The style slide you have, rounded to a sharp corner and straight sides to the frame rails, never had these issues. This style slide was continuously used in the Elite EAA guns as well. It is a beefier slide and more aesthetically pleasing as well IMHO. It is also the style I have, though my Wonder finish failed me and has been replaced with Cerakote.

My wolff springs, sprinco buffer system, and underwood 10mm ammo all shipped today... the waiting game begins
Too bad you couldn't have stopped the Sprinco shipment. I tried it out and just wasn't happy with it (many others as well). You will find the slide pretty hard to wrack, a stoppage every so often and some feed issues using it. On top of that it doesn't have the cone end like Henning's. Over time your channel could go bad. Buffers are similar in the malfunction department. Report back after you get it in and remember he will let you return it for your money back.

Here is mine same frame style. I had the 20lb wolf spring but went back to the stock one because racking it was a major PITA. I also have the cone fit guide rod installed. I just ordered the LPA MIM rear sight from pyramid air which is adjustable and fits the rear dovetail FYI. I already replaced my Witness PS 9 with that sight and it corrected the tendency of shooting low.
The Air Gun site?
edwardmdoonan, Welcome to the forum! Nice pistola! 8)
Best regards! :D
Yes the air gun sight and thanks for the welcome.
The MIM sight for the crosman steel breach air pistols is the exact dovetail as the LPA sight for the basic witnesses but not the high end ones. They are made by LPA as well. I don't remember where I found that out but when I bought the sight from crosman it was only $40 so no big expense and it worked great. I'll post some pics in a minute or two.
