EAA witness match? Any experience?

[okshot]

I'm in the market for a new pistol and was looking for something that would work for competitions and came across the EAA Witness Match. Seems like a lot of gun for the money; adjustable rear sight, 18+1 cap, all steel, extended mag release, big grips (big plus for me, I have manimal paws), $499+tax.

Anyone have any time in with these? I know it's kind of a CZ clone, but I've never shot a CZ either.

The other option is get a Springfield XDm 4.5 9mm, or wait for the XDm 5.25 to hit stores. I've shot the 5.25 at H&H and it's very nice. Trigger pull could be shorter, though. And it's looking like the cheapest I will be able to find one is around $690.

I know I'm new, I tried the search with no luck. Sorry if I missed something.

Thoughts?
Please don't say "Get a Glock". Grip angle is kinda weird to me.

Here's something I found on them. Looks fairly in depth.

Thanks Bonobo.

Guess I'll find out first hand. It should be getting here end of this week or first of next. :wee_hee:

If you wind up with the EAA- I'd suggest Hennings for your internal upgrades/mags/etc. I have a .40 limited that I really like.

The very first pistol I was able to buy was a Tanfoglio TZ-75, a quality copy of the Czec CZ-75. I loved it! Deployed overseas so I left it at my mom's house for safe keeping till I returned. Some meth heads broke in and along with a lot of her stuff I had three firearms stolen!!! They were even broke down and packed in grease for the long storage. I was sick for weeks! Learned the value of a quality firearms safe that day!!! That was years ago but I was fond of it for no other reason then it was my first... and you never forget your first.
