Carry Condition of EAA Witness...
Herk,
The Tan Witness line can be carried Condition 1(cocked & locked) or DA hammer down, safety on or off(the Witness line has a firing pin safety, pretty common these days). The only thing that some people don't like about the Witness is that to go from cocked to DA, the pistol must be decocked manually. With practice this isn't an issue to some, however for others, manually decocking a loaded cocked pistol is a "hair-raising" or nervous experience, regardless of how many times they may have performed it. Once decocked, the Witness is then DA/SA and the safety can be placed in the "On" position, unlike the CZ's which can not.
Marcus,
Had the same problem with my 10mm Compact Witness from the start. EAA corrected that problem after two trips back to them, for that and multiple other issues(read my aforementioned posts on other forums).
S.E. PA, hmmm?!? Do you compete in IDPA? Perhaps some day we'll meet on a range..., small world!
