Can we run +P rounds in it? If not, any mods to make it safe to use?

Jonathan, EAA advises users to NOT fire +P ammunition through this pistol. For warranty and safety reasons, I would heed EAA. Cheers and stay safe!

Jonathon, straight from the owner's manual - "Do not use + P Ammo or High Velocity High Pressure Ammunition." - Have a great day!

Jonathon, unfortunately the manufacturer warns against using +p ammunition in this. I have read several forums of people shooting +p ammo in them but wouldn't recommend it. Sorry but hope this helps.

Does anyone know the upc for the magazine that fits this handgun? Thanks.

Timothy, the UPC code is 741566100253 Sir. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/15626/european+american+armory+16+round+9mm+witness+magazine+w%2fblu

Here they are https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/15626/european+american+armory+16+round+9mm+witness+magazine+w%2fblu

Can sights be changed or would a gunsmith have to mill sights off and add dovetail to accept different sights?

yes they can be changed dawson precission is the best for sights https://dawsonprecision.com/

Joseph, I would check with Dawson Precision at (866) 300-1911 --- https://dawsonprecision.com/sights/eaa-sights/

Any competent gunsmith can change the sights for you.

Will this accept cz75 mags and grips?

the mags will work but the polymer witness will not work with the CZ grips the polymer grips are not attached by a screw

Doesn't say in the heading...is this model the P-S?

upc says this as the EAA Witness P FS Tanfoglio 9mm Luger 4.5" 16rds Poly Blued specs - EAA Witness P Full Sized Tanfoglio 999244 - Semi Automatic Pistol - 9mm Luger, 9x19mm - 4.5" Barrel - 16 Rounds - Low Profile Sights - Accessory rail - Automatic Firing Pin Block - Black polymer frame - Overall Length 8.1" - Height 5.5" - Width 1.4" - Weight 31 Ounces Unloaded.

What about the mag? Does it come with rubber bump pad or is it a plain metal mag?

The picture looks accurate to me when compared to other listings of the same pistol.

There's a plastic plate at the bottom. The cz75 mags also work in it from my experience which are just the metal bottom:

Has anyone used this gun for concealed carry?

Yes, generally with jeans and a t-shirt on. I had other pistols that i much preferred to carry, one in particular, but I did use this one several times. It takes some finesse as it is a large frame but some people can make it work. Depending on your daily attire and whether or not the pistol is comfortable for you it may or may not work. Hope this helps!

Depends on how big you are, how you are built and how you like to dress. I have no problem concealing a pistol this size but I'm tall with wide shoulders and my shirt hangs loose enough so it doesn't print. If you're short and chubby it may not work well.

What does this gun come with?. Case, mag, cleaning brushes?

It comes with a small case, two cleaning brushes', 1 hex key to adjust the sights and a trigger lock, this according to EAA website

My wife has a EAA Witness Pavona purchased from Bud's. Yes, they come with every you asked about and more.

Just one magazine, shell case, lock, cleaning brush, cleaning rod, manuals, key.

You can watch unboxing videos on YouTube that will show you everything you get. Thank God for the internet.

What type of holsters are being used with these guns?

It really all depends on if you want a belly band or an actual open carry holster. These should work with a lot of universal ones that fit 9mm for concealed carry

Item/model # FSN-15, Bulldog Fusion should work well with this pistol.

I have had this gun since September of 2018. Ordered from Buds in sevierville, tn. It was 302.00 before tax,etc. I really like this gun. It is so reliable and easy to use. I like that it is double action and I carry it loaded with the safety off. Just pull the trigger and fire. It fits my hand and is so comfortable when firing that I use the ammo up pretty quickly. That's why I like this gun so much. I'm not a great shot or anything like that. I'm 62 and wear glasses, small man at 150lbs. Medium sized hands and this weapon is just a pleasure to shoot. I love it and highly recommend it for guys my age and size.

I am really impressed. I knew I wanted to buy a good replica of the CZ 75A but I never expected to be of this outstanding quality. I reviewed most of the brands and Tanfoglio had excellent reviews so I decided to go with it. Great balance, easy and fast to acquire target in sights, very smooth trigger and wonderful grouping from the very fast shot. No malfunctions of any kind and superb quality. It is hard to believe that a pistol at this price can perform as great as this one. Italian Tanfoglio manufactures great quality! I would highly recommend this pistol to anybody.

First let me say that I am a big fan of CZ products, and enjoy them very much, but I don't really have the funds to expand my collection that much. I stumbled on the EAA from a buddy of mine from the Army who carried the 10mm version up in Alaska. I bought this 9mm version about a year ago and here are my findings: After about 1100 rounds of 115gr fmj of various makes, 124gr, and several different types of Hollow points this EAA is running a close second to my CZ P07 as my favorite gun, only thing keeping it from the top spot are the sights are off just a hair low. Buds was as always very easy and great to deal with, only problem with Buds is that they just can't seem to keep these in stock! I guess good deals are hard to pass up, and if your still reading this then you can tell that this is another in a long line of positive reviews on this EAA Witness. I plan on getting another in 10mm since I live in Black Bear territory, and sometimes to get the right fishing spot you gotta trek into the boonies. I'll end by saying if you're on the fence about this gun, or about ordering from Buds, then just put those fears to rest and do it. Buds is very well organized and will treat you very professionally, and the EAA Witness will not disappoint on quality and performance at this incredible price point.

The factory magazine sucks ftf every time on the first round. After throwing away the factory mag and investing in some cz75 mags the pistol has been flawless with about 1000 rounds through it.very accurate punches out a nice 2-3" hole at 15 yards no problem very happy with this firearm.

Great shooter for a cz75 type platform for under 300 bucks,bought this for my sons first pistol and he shoots it well. Hundreds of rounds thru it and so far no malfunctions. Pistol is very accurate also . Great deal!

This gun is for real. Good looking, comfortable weight, balanced, smooth trigger, accurate. For the price, value & quality, you'll be hard to find a comparable gun. I've put "junk" ammo to Gold Dot, no FTF or FTE. Bud's always comes through with quality products, good prices & fast delivery.
