eaa witness

[willis1982]

just got a eaa witness p 45 compact it an older model with the longer slide that is ported. I am having ftf and slide lock backing with rounds in in mag is this a mag issue? it was cold when we were shooting and was a lot of fouling on barrel but it started before the fouling.

Are you accidently hitting the slide lock? That's the most common culprit when that happens.

Also, it sounds like you have a used gun; I'd try breaking it down, give it a good cleaning and a proper lube before trying it again.

after trying what cuda66 mentioned

did anyone else try it?
did it happen with one or more magazines?

does the slide move smoothly cycled by hand?

wow sorry to get back so late pc crashed and lost all sites.
It was a used gun did a strip and clean on it when i got it home. had 2 used mags and 2 new mags ran 3 brands of ammo in it had 3 people try it it did not work right with all 4 of us shooting it. sent it back to eaa and still had problems

Cleaning & new Wolff springs. Then off to the factory...they will probably do the exact same things.

Hey willis, I've owned that same weapon since 1999. I used "Y2K" as my excuse with my wife to by a new gun, but anyway, I've had similar problems and have found that as long as I use brass cartidges and no others, it works well.
Hope this helps for yours.
