Where's my fellow EAA Witness Hunter owners?

Ordered the Dawson today. They deserve a repeat order!

Installed the Dawson sight this evening. Had to do a good bit of filing but it's on there! The pin that rides up against the elevation screw should keep it from moving better than the factory LPA unit. We shall see soon enough!

   Well not as expected. It moves which I think the spring loaded piece under it causes this. It also shoots lower than before so I plan on trying to get Henning to come with with something. First though I need to contact Dawson and see if their is anything they can do or possibly return the sight.

Their is a design oversight here.  Is their a black JB Weld?

    I took a picture after removing the Dawson sight today. This is where I think the design is flawed, because the spring loaded firing pin safety block probably taps the bottom of the sight where it rests in the closest groove. IMO that is what is causing it to move when firing as it also wears the elevation screw. Henning's fixed might work but the blade will be up an inch from the rear now and it will look odd with the second groove empty.

Could you make a plat out of aluminum or steel to fill the unused slot?  Blueing, black paint or coating to match the color of the slide?

    I'm leaning towards putting the stock LPA sight on but don't know how to keep the darn screw from spinning.


     It seems the weakness in all the Witness line-up is the sights!

   I did as suggested and did a Chlorine free oil clean today with Gumout. Installed the factory sight back on using Loctite blue on the mounting screws (hopefully that holds better than the factory!). Next phase is to do a dry adjustment counting turns/position to the proper POI. Take the elevation screw back out, apply red Loctite and attempt setting the elevation back to the dry run position. Put away for a couple of days and see if it holds! Someone said they did the same thing to an AK-47 muzzle break and it's still holding 13 years later.

  Just applied the red Loctite after going 4 full turns down like in the dry sighting today. Hopefully it stays put next time out and forever

Red should do the trick.

  Shot plenty of Underwood and American Eagle through it today and no movement. I think I can keep it!
