EAA Witness Hunter 10mm

The EAA Witness Hunter is manufactured by Tanfoglio in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy, a company that has produced CZ-75 pattern pistols since the early 1980s. The Hunter variant pairs a 6-inch barrel with the double-stack frame for 15+1 capacity, matching the Glock 40 MOS for both velocity extraction and round count at roughly the same price. The integral Weaver rail on the frame accepts full-size optics and scope rings directly without adapter plates.

The CZ-75 action provides a different manual of arms than the striker-fired Glocks: a DA/SA trigger with frame-mounted safety that can be carried cocked-and-locked or hammer-down. The SA trigger pull on the Witness Hunter is noticeably crisper than any polymer striker 10mm, though not in the same league as the Dan Wesson Razorback's single-action 1911 trigger.

At under $750, the Witness Hunter delivers hunting-grade performance at roughly half the cost of premium 10mm 1911s. The trade-off is aftermarket depth: spare parts, holsters, and accessories are limited compared to Glock 10mm platforms. This is a dedicated hunting and range gun, not an everyday carry or defensive platform. For that role, it delivers exceptional value.
