Overview

EAA had several exciting new releases at range day, mostly from the Tangfolio line. Tangfolio bills themselves as an out of the box race gun, and the examples we shot live up to that reputation. The one that grabbed my attention the most was the Witness Limited Custom in 9mm.

Impression

This gun comes in a Cerakote blue finish that is absolutely beautiful. The slide rides on the frame so smoothly it feels spaced aged. Like your primitive brain can’t grasp the technology that makes steel move that silkily. Just the working parts feel like a work of art. The slide has been skeletonized, and is also drilled and tapped for optic mounts. The controls are ambidextrous, which is starting to become mandatory for pistols. The lefties have spoken. The Tangfolio grip feels a little, uh, different, but it is very comfortable, and makes the pistol point very naturally. One of my favorite features was the oversized factory mag well. It makes a reload feel like you are dropping your magazine in a trash can. Ray Charles could reload this pistol with ease. If your reload time sucks with this pistol, you can look in the mirror for who to blame.

The Limited Custom was smooth and silky in operation and proved to be very pleasant to shoot.
