racking lever for witness

[kennedy]

I have an aimpoint red dot on this witness .40, its hard to grasp the slide, looking for a lever that will fit in the dove tail groove the rear sight was in, anyone have an idea where to buy one?

Assuming the same sight dovetail size as other CZs:

If not... no idea

Try to contact them: https://www.italianfirearmsgroup.com/tanfoglio/
See their catalogue. They seem to have the part you need but you better contact them and ask if it will fit in your old model.


This is how it looks:

the cajungun works is too high, I had to remove the rear sight to fit the reddot, but the armorycraft looks like it could work, thanks

looks like I have an older witness with a smaller dovetail at 9mm, while the current standard is 3/8 in or 9.53 mm, so going to try and make my own

I put grip tape on my slick, hard to rack Witness. It comes off after a month or so, just put 2 more rectangle tapes on it

Filing off .25mm on each side of the dovetail is not a difficult feat !

Why not use the front serations on the slide.

found a racker from armory craft, it measured 9.22 mm for my 9mm dove tail, filed it down, repainted and installed, I think it will work
