I’ve had the EAA Witness .45 Compact for a few months now. The accuracy is impressive, especially at the range. I’ve hit targets consistently at both 15 and 25 yards. Recoil is manageable, which is great for follow-up shots.

That’s awesome to hear! I’ve been wondering how it performs in a defensive situation. Have you had any jams or issues with it?

Overall, I’ve found it quite reliable. I’ve tested it in various conditions, like rain and heat, and it never faltered. The slide operates smoothly, and it feeds well with both FMJ and hollow points.

That’s really reassuring! Would you say it’s a good option for everyday carry? I want something dependable.

Absolutely! It’s compact and easy to conceal. It fits nicely on my hip, and I don’t feel weighed down. Plus, the grip is comfortable enough for long periods.

I’ve read conflicting reviews about its recoil. Some say it’s substantial for a compact. What’s your take after shooting it?

For me, recoil is quite manageable. I shoot .45 regularly, and while it has some kick, it’s not overwhelming. My friend, who’s new to shooting, handles it well too.

That’s great! I’ve been considering getting one for my wife. Do you think she’d be comfortable with it?

Definitely! The grip is good for various hand sizes. Just make sure she practices a bit to get used to the .45 caliber. A range day could help!

Running drills with this gun has really helped me fine-tune my shooting. The trigger pull is nice and crisp, adding to my accuracy during rapid fire.

I’ve noticed that too! What kind of ammunition do you all recommend for it? I want to make sure I’m feeding it the best.

I usually go for quality defensive rounds. I’ve had great results with both Speer Gold Dot and Hornady Critical Defense. They’ve never failed in my experience.

Just make sure to dig deep in your pockets; good ammo isn’t cheap! But it’s worth the extra for reliability. After all, you don’t want to skip that ‘pizza night’ because your weapon jams!

The fit and finish on the EAA Witness .45 Compact is top-notch! The slide operates smoothly, and the machining looks clean. It feels solid in hand; you’ll notice quality right away.

I completely agree with Richard! Also, the ergonomic design really stands out. It feels natural in my hand, even during extended shooting sessions.

How does it compare to other compact .45s in your experience? I’m curious if it’s as comfortable as my Glock.

Honestly, it feels more balanced than my Glock. The grip is shaped perfectly, reducing fatigue. Perfect for extended use, in my opinion!

That’s good to know! I’m looking for a solid firearm for range days. What’s the weight like for this model? Any noticeable kick?
