Full size witness 10mm

mt10mm · September 13 2014 09:08:36 PM MDT

I am told this is a CL date code so its one of the good ones. I can get it for a good price but want to be able to shoot UW ammo with it. What do you think?

Same slide as my EAA tank. I would say go for it.

Looks like a nice unit to me. The mags look to be K10's as well.

I have first dibs on this and the seller and I are negotiating on price. This comes with 3 mags and some ammo. What's a fair price ? I offered 350.00 but he says he wants 400.00

Is that $ 400.00 shipped ?
If so, that's really not that bad, given the two extra Mags and Ammo are thrown in

The seller is local so no shipping. I am going to meet up with him this week to see if I can work out a deal

That's a great price. I paid $525 for mine. It has the new grips so probably a 2012 or later model.

sqlbullet · September 16 2014 08:33:44 AM MDT

$400 is what I paid for mine about seven or eight years ago. Snatch it up.

Not a bad deal at all. I recommend upgrading the recoil spring to a 20 for UW. Thing looks great.

mt10mm · September 16 2014 08:56:53 PM MDT

It's mine!

Came with 200rds of misc factory ammo wolf recoil and trigger spring. Paid 400.00 and can't wait to shoot it!

Got her home and broke her down for a good cleaning. Was using hopps#9 and look what happened to the slide! It was not like this before I cleaned it. Is the blueing this thin on all of these ?

sqlbullet · September 18 2014 07:58:11 AM MDT

Wow.

Can't say. My Elite Match is the only "blue" gun I have from EAA. It hasn't had any issues.

I didn't think much of their "wonder" finish, so my full-size was blasted, parked and cerakoted. It is pretty easy to do. I did a write up in this thread:

Sorry the finish went south on your. That kinda sucks.

I was thinking of doing a refinish anyway so no real loss. I plan to use this as woods carry piece so as long as it goes bang everytime I'm ok with it for now ${$default_smiley_smiley}$
