EAA Witness 10mm
I have a Witness elite match in 9mm and love it. Now I'm thinking about playing in the 10mm market. Does anyone own a witness in 10mm? Pro's and Con's? Has anyone bought a conversion for their witness?
Thanks.

It's my most accurate semi-auto and a heck of a lot of fun to shoot.
You'll want to start reloading, if you don't already  ... The 10mm can be kind of expensive compared to a 9mm
Mine is the Witness Match ... No I haven't bought a conversion, but have thought about it.
If you get a 10mm ... It is mandatory to shoot some Buffalo Bore ammo ... It's about as close as you can get to what a 10mm is supposed to be

Oh, and because we're talking 10mm .... I'm glad you're not looking at one of those wussified .40's and are instead considering a real .40 caliber weapon

Yup,
Been to that site before. You may have passed it on to me at AZS. Personally, I'm not a fan of the .40 and I've been looking at their witness compact model. I figured if I didn't like the 10mm, I could at least buy another slide in .45acp. I need to call them and find out if the slides can be changed out for the match models. If that's the case, I may be able to get away with buying a slide for my 9mm.

I've heard of people doing the slide swap on the match.
But I'm not sure you can go from 9mm to 10mm ... If I remember right, there is a size difference ... 45 or 10mm can accept any conversion. That I know for sure. Sorry, I can't seem to locate where all the conversion information is on the net ... But memory says the 9mm to 10mm is a no-go ... Hopefully I am wrong.

They are absolute tack drivers. They are probably the best kept secret in handgunning. My cousin has one, and it is awesome.

I had the Smith 1076. Great gun but I got tired of never being able to find ammo for it and the good ammo is ultra pricey. I finally sold it and made money on the deal. Great ballistics, just hard to find ammo.

And I've got a Smith 1006. It is one of the most accurate handguns I've ever fired. I think there is something inherently accurate about the 10mm cartridge. I love everything about the 10. If I didn't have the 1006 I would get the Witness Elite for sure. I held one and it fit my hand like it was made for me.
