I want an EAA Witness 10mm, but since I live in California, I can only get the gun in .45 ACP (or .40 for the small frame). I'm thinking seriously of getting the .45 and then ordering a 10mm conversion kit for it (which is legal here). I may also get one of the .22 conversions. I would much appreciate hearing of your expreiences with the EAA conversion kits (do they work reliably, require fitting, etc.).
I'm also a little undecided about whether I'd get the full-sized or compact 10mm conversion (or maybe one of each). I think they are also available ported, with compensators, with various sights, etc. Any recommendations (for or against) on these options would be appreciated.
Finally, if I could I think I'd get everything in the "wonderfinish" - but here in CA matte black is the only option. I want this to be corrosion resisant and require little maintenence - so I'm thinking of sending in my frame to have it hard chromed, and then ordering the 10mm conversion in wonderfinish. I'm sure they wouldn't match exactly, but how do you think this would look? Any functional/practical issues with a combination like this? Maybe a black chrome would look better on the frame to contrast with the wonderfinish slide. Or, if wonderfinish isn't so great, maybe I should just get the whole gun chromed. Again, thanks for your advice.
