I'm planning on buying the EAA Witness .45acp/.22lr Combo as soon as my next set of permits comes in (hopefully from a vendor here, but here's the link to it on Bud's: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/200214/EAA+999119+Witness+Combo+10%2B1+45ACP22LR+4.5%22).

 

Here's my question: I'd like to get a 9mm conversion for it as well, but I haven't been able to find one at a decent price. EAA is selling them for over $500, and at that price I might as well just buy another one in 9mm. Does anyone know of an affordable 9mm conversion that will fit this gun? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately the answer to your question is there is no guaranteed place to find an affordable conversion kit for the EAA Witness. I bought a .40 several years ago and immediately purchased a.45 kit directly from EAA for $225.00. Last year I decided I wanted the 9mm kit as well. They had raised the price to almost $500.00. In free America, it would be cheaper to just purchase another complete Witness for $250.00. But in the PRNJ, we have to go through the entire pistol permit process.

 

I searched through forums, eBay, and Amazon with no luck. My best guess is that EAA is selling so many or the complete guns through distributors like Bud's and Sportsmen's guide that they don't want to go through the trouble of selling them separately. They have marked up the kits so high that only diehards and desperate individuals are willing to buy them.

 

Wish I had a better answer for you. Best wishes in you search.

Thanks. I'm now starting to rethink this idea. I already have a 9mm and a lot of 9mm ammo, but was also thinking about branching out into a larger caliber. The idea of getting a .45, 9mm, and .22lr for $800 was appealing, but it looks like it will run more like $1,100. I've got 3 permits coming an another week or so, and I still haven't decided what to get.

Honestly I prefer having a dedicated 22...but that's just me.
