EAA Witness: Polymer vs. Metal

Has anyone here shot or owned both the polymer and metal framed versions of the EAA witness?
If so, what were your impressions?
Which has better ergonomics?
Which balances better?
How is the weight of the metal framed pistols?
Are there any reliability/wear & tear issues with one vs. the other?
 
OWN THREE

But they're all metal, because they feel perfect that way.

Unbelievably durable, and believe me, I know LOL.

(Not interested in plastic guns much; had one, spent tons, still felt wrong.)
 
I own a 9mm Polymer P-S and a 10mm steel full size.

The P-S center of gravity is towards the muzzle. The 10mm is more grip centered. Different feels, and I like 'em both.

Everyone who handles the P-S likes it a lot. The grip is very ergonomic. It feels relatively light, and it's a mild shooter.

The 10mm sits more in the hand, which I suppose is better for this caliber. It doesn't feel heavy. There is little sensation of weight hanging out beyond the hand. The rubber grips are comfy. My 9yr old has no trouble shooting it.

I have the wonder finish on both, and I recommend it, because it is corrosion resistant and makes for a nice 2-tone look.

When debating which EAA Witness to get, it came down between a Wonderfinish .40S&W Compact or the .45acp Polymer.

I couldn't stand the aesthetics of the polymer .45acp, and liked the ergonomics of the steel frame better anyway, so that's the route I took.

Three, yes-three, trips back to EAA in FL for factory repair and it still fails to feed, regardless of the damned "test fired-ok" BS slip that always comes with it! :mad: Test fired my *ss!

I've given up, after my last conversation on the phone with them, I guess they're glad I did too. Incompetent backwater pricks!

Anyway, go with whatever you like best.
:mad:
 
I just got a Charles Daly DDA 10-45 which I have heard is similar to the polymer witness...it's made by BUL of Isreal with the steel slide polymer frame.

I can tell the difference in feel between my buddies Kimber (steel) and my CD...but while I like the feel of steel more...the CD shoots great! a little more felt recoil in the polymer but it shoots dead on the money...I don't have any regrets getting the polymer over steel...I would RATHER have a Kimber all steel .45 but my budget tells me that I spent too much during the last year...and for $299.00 (SOG) the CD looked good...and the wife didn't castrate me:eek: bottom line...I would do it again...it's a great gun for the money...and those big holes grouped tightly together on the target don't know it got shot by a polymer framed pistol either,

I have a fullsize Wonderfinish ported .45- comfortable, dead reliable, quite accurate, but it still shoots low with 230 gr, even with most of the front sight filed off and the rear all the way up.

My brother bought a polymer compact .45- also comfortable to shoot and accurate with jacketed bullets,but most lead bullets would strip, and it was unreliabe. FTF's, and the slide stop would shoot loose. It went down the road.
