In the box was:
the EAA Witness 10mm, back from a one-month (to the day!) vacation in The Sunshine State. The cracked slide has been replaced with one of the "Target" model slides with a Bomar-type adjustable rear sight:
And look at the thickness of the steel at the forward edge of the ejection port. Not bad!Here's another view:
Compared to the original slide:
Same angle, same frame and barrel, but the thickness of the new slide appears to be at least double that of the old one.
This is a bowling pin gun so an adjustable sight is a real benefit! At first I was a bit put-off by the dark finish of the new slide; all of the other slides I own are Wonderfinish - that shimmery gray color. But it looks pretty good in two-tone, donchathink?And there was no charge: an "in-warranty" repair. Woo-hoo!

How long is the warranty for the Witness?
And, yeah, it looks good in two-tone.
Good post.

It's a "limited lifetime" warranty. As I understand it, EAA will repair it for the original owner indefinitely. I had to send 'em my original retail receipt and a check for $20 to cover return shipping. The latter is a bargain because UPS Next Day Air is about double that, maybe triple.
There's only one problem... you paid for a Wonder Finish pistol and now you are stuck with a blued slide.
what is i bought my gun from some 1 else other the original seller. do i need to request an original receipt?
