You want a Tanfoglio/Witness gunsmith, not a CZ gunsmith. Internally, the guns are completely different.
I was considering a 38 Super Witness and found this place, which was recommended a lot https://canyoncreekcustom.com ETA: If the gun is new and warrantied, try contacting EAA. Please update us on how they handle it -- historically bad customer service on the part of EAA seems to keep the Witness as an also-ran in the US gun world. |

I contacted EAA. They didn't ask how old the gun is, just was I the original purchaser.
As I bought the gun lightly used back in the 90's, this isn't going to be a warranty repair. They sent me an email with their items to include, shipping address, and shipping instructions. The include list was a letter detailing the problem, my contact information, $20 to cover return shipping and a copy of the original purchase receipt (if I was the original owner and wanted it covered under the warranty). The gun did not have the issue when I first got it. Rather, I shot it many thousands of rounds and the problem was caused by wear and tear.

What sort of updates? A trigger job and better sights. Given that you've had the gun so long, you may not want anything changed though. |

A trigger job and better sights. Given that you've had the gun so long, you may not want anything changed though. My gun is the Witness Limited .45 acp model and it came from the factory with all the bells and whistles. I used it in USPSA limited in the 90's. Factory mags are double stack 10 rounds (back before there was any sort of mag ban or 10 round limit). It has a single action only straight trigger at roughly 2.5 lbs, Bo-Mar adjustable sights, extended beaver tail, extended safety and so on. This isn't my gun, but here is a pic I found on the net which similar to mine (but mine has a different hammer, like the one in the second gun pic).   |

Doesn't look like there's much else you need. Maybe call Canyon Creek for an estimate on getting your issue fixed?
