Pick up some +5% mag springs:

https://www.gunsprings.com/EAA/cID1/mID19/dID100#853

Look at the link again. Read the description. I ordered one without seeing the bolded line.

They work fine in my 10mm's.  Hope you have the same result.

sqlbullet, thanks for the info!   I ordered a 3 pack of each weight springs.

I shot some Fenix 180gr FMJ in my Witness steel 10mm and my XDM 5.2 and they both had no problems with feeding and firing.
Next up is my Sig P220 Elite 10mm.
They seem to work fine and definitely feel like more power than the Sig 180gr fmj loads.
I put a 20#spring in the Witness and the Henning guide rod.

My new mag came in today. I can see the difference in the followers. It's made by EAA and considered a replacement mag for the pistol.

I'll head to the range tomorrow and see how it goes. Old left, new right.

Didn't do any better. I guess it takes time to break in. Also the new mag doesn't hold the slide open.

I give up.  :'(

I'm about ready to try it out with the 40sw ammo. 

Sent a note to EAA site about the FTFs and they replied that they want pics of the mags. I sent 6 pics of two mags I have.

Then I went to the range to shoot the 40sw ammo. Shot a lot better but still had a few FTFs. I noticed that sometimes the rounds are straight to the chamber but not going to battery. When I pulled the mag out it went to battery.

It seems that the mags are a bit too tall that the slide catches on it.

When I got home EAA wanted me to send in the mags or they can send me a follower. They said an attachment is included for me to fill out but it's not there. I just replied to send me the follower. I doubt that'll work though.

Anyway here the damage from 50 rounds of Champ Aluminum 40sw 180s. 10 yards.

Finally got mine out this morning, fired 50rds or so. Shot Underwood 200gr FMJ and Doubletap 200gr HC. I had 0 issues with the underwood but 2 separate issues with the DT 200gr HC. Both times the rds failed to properly chamber. Feel this is ammo issue, UW is higher velocity and had 0 issues. OAL and wide frontal area on the DT would be my first guess.

Overall had a good trip.

Got the new follower and it's different. May do the trick. Don't know when I'll go to the range, probably not til next month.

Here's the pics, new on left old (came with gun) on right.

My EAA Witness P 10mm ready for duty sir! 

Yep, it was the follower. The one EAA sent worked without a hitch, both 10mm and 40sw. Even it sounded different. Before it was Snick... Snack now it's Zip every time.

Now I'm going to order another follower like it for my other magazine.

13 rnds of Fenix 10mm 180 FXPs:



10 rnds of Champion Aluminum 180 FMJs:



I have a box of Winchester USA 40sw 180 Personal Protection that I'll use for carry in my Witness. This is the budget ammo that performs well.

Check out this guy's video. Guess how many times he said economical. LOL:

today I put 5% mag. springs in my 3 Witness mags. I had to alter the bottom of the spring to fit (best I could) around the base pad. even using a mag loader, getting 14 rounds in the mags was areal pain! one mag consistently dented the brass. hopefully I will get to shoot them tomorrow. if it does help my problem, I will probably only load 13 rds. in them.

I was wrong. I only can get 12 in. The new follower is taller.

Went to the range today. Had FTFs. I give up. I'll stick to my Beretta 9mm for carry.

I tried my magazines with both the 5% and 10% springs.  it didn't help much.  still had some failures to feed but it did seem a little better.   I left the 10% springs in the mags for now. I can only get 13 rds. in the mags with either set of + power springs. when I get a chance, I will do some more experimenting.
