It uses .355 bullets, and seeing as this is a design set up specifically for IDPA, the rounds headspace on the case mouth and the chaber appears to be set up for 38 Supercomp / 9x23 cases.

The nice thing about the Witness lineup is you can run 9, 38super, 357 sig, 40s&w, 10mm, and 45 all off the same frame. You just have to call EAA and get the "conversion" slide and get different mags. I would avoid the 9 in the Witness though unless you KNOW you can get the new production Meg-gar mags. I don't recall who was making the Mags for Tanfo, but the 9 and 40 mags have bee a problem since they went to a large frame in '05. Good news is all new Witnesses coming in 9 have the mags now, and they are available directly from EAA
Seismic Sam wrote:Given the fact that 9mm ammo will feed fine out of 38 Super mags, so you don't have the problem of having the shorter mag rattling around in the frame, I think it's highly likely that a 9mm barrel might just drop in to a 38 Super.
As you can see from the on-line catalog, all EAA barrels look pretty much the same, and I doubt the lug spacing or anything else except the bore is different. I beleive the Match uses the 4 3/4" barrel, but I'm not sure.

That would be on top of my list.

They do make them that aren't shiny and nickle. And if you shop around you can find a CZ75b Cold War Commemorative at a pretty good price. I doubt they will ever be collector grade, but had an uber cool factor about them.

With the CZ75b there isn't a way to decock it with one in the pipe right? This is all new to me my G17 doesn't have a hammer.
A buddy is on his way to pick me up. We are going to the gun show. I don't plan on buying anything today, but I hope to trim the list down some.
