Should be getting a EAA witness in .45 ACP in the next couple days.

EAA has a horrible reputation for customer service on the standard Witness pistols.
Google "EAA" and "Customer service" for many, many examples.
I have a Witness compact .45 from the late 90s that's a safe queen. EAA refused to even look at it.
I would never buy anything connected with EAA and advise against anyone else doing so. You might be lucky, but if you're not, you just may be screwed.

BTW, $500 is high, even if it works perfectly.
 
Took it out yesterday and shot 20 rounds of 230 gr. FMJ through it. It fired like a dream. Going to put another 100 or so rounds through it today and see how it groups.
 
Sounds like the only problem here is the slight risk of it being a lemon. If you're shooting hundreds of trouble free rounds it might just be fine. On the other hand, if your buddy let's you shoot hundreds of rounds through it what the heck do you gotta buy it for? ;)

Try shooting it from a rest. (That can be something as simple as a big bag of rice or beans, straight from the grocery store. Rest your hands on the bag, and slowly squeeze off each shot.) If you do that, you'll be able to minimize any of the things you might be doing wrong shooting it offhand, while standing -- and that will allow you to llearn more about the gun's accuracy.

The last Witness .45 I sold (about 3 yeas ago) was like new in box, and I sold it for what I paid for it, which was about $350. The lower-end Witnesses tend to sell cheaply. Don't overpay if you haven't already paid for it.

I just checked GUNBROKER and saw a bunch selling in the $250-$400 range if used.
