| 9x23 or 10mm in witness?
thinking about either going with the 9x23 or 10mm in the tangfolio witness platform. I have heard that customer service is bad, but I think the pistol is perfect. Im assuming it can easily handle the pressures from both of these rounds, and even though it has more recoil, the 10mm seems to have more energy, but less capacity. I would go with the 1911 platform, but I would rather have DA, and the double stack magazine adds to it. I have searched to board already and wondered if its worth it to go the 9x23 (I will start reloading like half a year after I get the pistol) or the 10mm (I think the gunshop said they will order any ammo though) but they have 10mm in stock so no wait. Besides caliber, I have heard that there is no conversion to the .38 super in witness to fire the 9x23 win. and if that is not the case, does anyone know from experience what has to be done and how much it costs? thanks for the information! |

If you like 10mm and 9x23 and would except a different platform, check out a Glock 20 or 29 plus a BAR-STO conversion barrel in 9x23.

oh yeah, forgot to mention, I never really did like the feel of the glocks, I shot some police issue one in .40 cal and it wasnt harsh but it was just kinda weird, and I prefer DA rather than the glock safety system. I wish I liked glocks more, they are good guns, but I prefer all steel. thanks anyways!

Glock magazines work . My 29 is 100% , the 20 magazines need a little tweeking . ( bending lips )on dropfree mags. No spring change needed The 29 is my compact 9x23 carry . |

Even after I work on the lips of the mags, I have never been able to get the Glock 20 mags to work 100%. I did the conversion on both the Glock 20 & the Glock 29 myself. Classic Pistol Indoor Range in Southampton, PA has done the conversions quite successfully. (This shop is John Ricco's who originally designed the 9x23 cartridge as we know it. He may be retired now, but the shop still exists). The web site is: [http://www.classicpistol.com/]. |
