What model is it? The square trigger guard, big safety lever, fine slide serrations and holes for optic mount have me stumped. 9mm.

I know it's a witness - it's marked on the other side. I thought about it being an Elite but the short dust cover makes me wonder. Most of the newer Witnesses have the chunky slide serrations (like Glock) so I'm thinking the fine serrations make this one an older model. Also, the newer factory guns have 4 optic mount holes, not 3.
The guy selling it is a bit perplexed as I am about what exact model it is. He's in the upper range of pricing for a used Witness if it's just a run of the mill Witness with some Bubba optic mount holes. Any more ideas? |

You could always ask over at the Tanfoglio section on the Brian Enos forums, those guys are Tanfoglio experts. Brian Enos Forums |

You can also call EAA and give them the serial number, they'll tell you exactly what it is. Be sure to update us, I am interested to find out

EAA on the website has a "Mag Finder" where you put in the serial number... it'll return date of import as well as original configuration / make / model / caliber / etc. It's probably the best "what the hell is this" tool for Tanfoglio / EAA I've run across. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's a "Competition Frame" from the early 90's
Imported 2.24.93 Takes the old style "small frame" mags. A bit torn. I kind of like it, but it comes with no magazines and the guy wants $500 for it. $500 + shipping + transfer + a few $25 mags (shipped) + an ambi safety installed (I'm left handed) and I'm within a couple hundred bucks of a new Stock 2. Decisions decisions....(but I think not really......) |

Do it!!
I would love to find a small frame competition frame witness!! That means it will take CZ mags, grips etc etc. Seriously. That is a very cool pistol. |

So...this or a CZ SP-01? I'd have about the same in each.
Or I'd be about +$250 for a Stock 2 |

General shooting. Light informal competition, club steel shoot when I feel like shooting a "stock" gun.
I have a full build race Caspian for the "real" shooting. Along with a couple VP9's and a bunch of Glocks. It's really just for something different. |

Not very exciting. Looks to be a plain witness slide on a small frame competition frame. Fixed front sight? Too much $ I vote.

Depending on how on spec the Tanfoglio brothers were the day it was built, the CZ type grips might fit... or might need to be reshaped on the rear edge and have the screw hole 'wallered to fit. |
