OK, I'm revising an old post here... I just got a Witness Compact, 40, in Wonderfinish. According to people on the handgun forum and EAA, Wonderfinish is a heat treat process similar to Teinfer (sp) thats on the Glocks. Supposed to be tough as heck and corrosion resistant. I've cleaned and lubed with Tetra, action is smooth to start with. Put 100 rounds through it at lunch the other day, functioned flawlessly. I also though the recoil was quite mild, accuracy better than my 45 poly Witness. I plan to make this one my primary carry gun. A couple of things I'm wondering about:
The trigger is pretty good as is, but does have noticable creep. Does anyone have any experience with smoothing the trigger on one of these? Can I do the work with a hard arkansas stone, or will machine work be req'd? Is a single action trigger available?
I'm also considering making a set of wood grips for it. I've got some walnut in my shop I'll try as a proto, if things turn out well may go with Coco Boalo (sp?). Has anyone done so, and how involved a project is this?
I'd also like to get some night sites. The front site is integral to the slide on this one-can a hole be drilled through it and a night site insert be installed? How expensive is it to have the slide milled for a dovetailed one? Any pointers appreciated.
I really like this one, especially for the price, right around $300.
Thanks in advance.
