I’ve had the EAA Witness Compact 10mm for about six months now. Its accuracy is impressive, especially at closer ranges. I’m really pleased with its performance overall.

That’s great to hear! How does it handle recoil? That’s a concern for me with 10mm.

The recoil management is pretty decent. It’s snappy, but the grip helps absorb some of that impact. I’ve shot it one-handed without too much trouble.

I prefer using factory loads, but I might try reloading soon. How much difference does it make in accuracy?

Hand-loading really allows you to fine-tune the performance. You can achieve better accuracy and recoil that matches your preference.

Exactly! But it seems like a brand new user might feel overwhelmed by that process.

True, but practice makes perfect! If you get comfortable loading, it just enhances the whole experience with the EAA.

I love the compact size but wonder about its effectiveness for self-defense. Any thoughts?

It’s compact but packs a punch! For defense, I think it’s a solid option with good stopping power. Just make sure to practice.

I hope that punch isn’t like my neighbor’s cooking—too hard to handle!

The EAA Witness Compact has a surprisingly comfortable grip. I have smaller hands, and I found it easy to manage. It’s very intuitive, especially for novices.

I also find the grip excellent! And, the weight really helps with recoil. For a compact 10mm, it definitely holds its own when compared to the competition.
