I got my EAA Witness steel frame in today. It has the squared slide and not the round top. The trigger feels real good on it. I'm a happy camper since my buddy wouldn't let me buy back the round top Witness that he bugged me about till I sold it to him.

How powerful is 10mm? Well, see those craters on the moon?

Nice, that's what I was thinking too, Thanks Olgo!

Got my Fenix 10mm ammo and a polymer quick draw holster ($15 from Amazon).  8)

When I got the box of ammo it sounded like it has loose rounds in it. When I opened it the boxes were broken. I thought the UPS handlers were rather rough with the package. At least it was sealed well.

I got a quick draw holster from Amazon for $15. You can adjust the tension on the holster to your liking. It also has 4 height adjustments.

Just got back from the range. Shot a whole box and too many FTFeed. I even put the stock spring back in and it did better but still does it.

I'm going to try 40sw ammo next time.

Hey Olgo, So the Fenix 180's were problematic. I understand that's a chance we take when testing new ammo, but is still a drag. I sure hope the 3 boxes I just ordered for the RIA Ultra perform better
Thanks

I'm gonna try to get out tomorrow and shoot. I have a variety of Underwood and double tap to try with both factory recall spring and 20lbs recoil spring.

Witness pistols (at least the 2 I've had) seem to be sensitive to "limp wristing". I have to really concentrate on my grip when shooting them. I thought I had it down but today I did some shooting and was disappointed with some failures to feed. :'(  I even put the .40 S&W barrel in and still had some jams. >:D

Olgo

Just ordered a new magazine (with the red follower). It may solve my feeding problem (so says my researches).

It seems that the red follower has a higher hump at the end so that may be it.

Let me suggest that you put only like 5-6 rounds in the mag each time and note the FTF frequency, or, alternatively when putting a full mag in the gun, note if the FTF happens more frequency in the first few rounds that otherwise.
