Im thinking the witness in wonder finish as a first buy 10mm.
Besides changing the spring to a 20lb what else do I need to do
to make it a good shooter.
If you have had any problems with yours please let me know before I plunk down
my hard earned cash...thanks guys 

 I would try a search first. It will bring up what you seek.

I had a full size witness in wonder finish as my EDC for several years.  I ran a 22 lb recoil spring, and +10/15% magazine springs in red follower mags. I had the occasional FTF during the first 300 rounds.  At about that time my 22 lb spring showed up, and the mag springs, and I started leaving the mags loaded all the time.  Since then the only time I have an issue is if I let a magazine sit empty.  Then that mag will give me problems.

Several years back I carried the gun during a week long camping trip.  During that time the gun remained in the IWB holster the entire week.  When I got home it had rusted on the left side, with some very minor pitting.  To fix this I buffed it good then then later sand blasted and cerakoted the entire gun black.



Much better looking now.

I have since acquired a Glock 29 and a Para P-16-40 which I converted to 10mm.  The Glock is a very handy concealed carry gun due to size and weight, and the Para is slightly smaller than the Witness while holding two more rounds.  As a result, the Witness has become my wife's night-stand gun.  It is a solid firearm and I would have no concerns about carrying it tomorrow.

That Cerakote finish looks great

Thanks!

It has been quite durable as well. I probably have close to 2K rounds through since this pic, and it looks the same.

Didn't adhere quite as well to the stainless slide of my Para.  That slide is starting to show it's edges, but it just gives me warm fuzzy feelings to know that I put all that wear into it.

Belive it or not I tryed search EAA witness 10mm and got mo matches

How much can you get one for? Reason why I ask is I have both the Wonder Finish fullsize and the Elite Match. I was gifted the fullsize and its pretty good but the trigger left me wanting. I picked up the Match for only 579 and the trigger is like silk in comparison. Adjustable sights, great finish. Very beautiful gun. Either one would serve you well I'm sure. All NEW ones will come with K10 mags (black follower).

I recently bought the wonder finish 10 and I love it so far. I changed out the recoil spring to a 20 lb Wolff and the Hennings cone fit guide rod. The trigger on mine is smooth as silk. I also have a Witness PS 9 mm and the trigger on the 10 is both lighter and smoother in both double and single action. If anything the single action is scary light on mine. Order a crossman LPA MIM rear sight (model number 2300-010.) The PS 9 shot low as did the WF 10 , I put the MIM on the 9 and it fixed that, I'm going to put one on the 10 as well.

Im paying $520 Dave...

I'd spend a little more and get the match

I have both.  I very much like both.  The Match is a great value in a 10mm gun at about $650 delivered if you shop hard.  It might be the best all around value in a 10mm handgun.

But, there are some roles I don't think it fills well.  The blue finish of the slide is not rust resistant at all. It has lots of very sharp edges too. And while the extra .5" of slide tames recoil a bunch, it also adds a good bit of weight.  So, despite the fact I bought mine with the intent to have it be my every day carry, I don't think I have ever carried it once.  It is pretty much a range/home defense gun.

The standard full-size, while no-where near as refined, is a solid gun too.  And it is not sharp, and the wonder finish does OK as long as you take it out of the holster every night and give it a quick wipe down.  It is still a heavy gun, but .5" less slide than the match is noticeable just holding it, let alone after a day in the holster.

So, depending on purpose, I might spend a little more and get the Match.  In reality you ultimately want both though.

If you are willing to spend $350 more:

This would an awesome "all roles" Witness.

Is this to be a range gun or for carry? Someone mentioned something about that and if that is the case the Eaa pcarry or the glock 29 would be the way to go.

While the stock looks like a great gun ...is it worth twice what I payed for my standard witness?
Explain why....
