~ Update ~
I finally took the EEA Witness 40 S&W down to the Range and I will say it surprised me.
It shot nicely and I was on Paper without issues.
It didn't have as much kick then my Kel Tek P11 I'm guessing due to the size and weight.
I really like this and I managed to customize a Blackhawk SERPA Sportster Holster for it.
I would carry this in the Winter no problem
Thanks for the update. The old 9/40/45 debate will of course never be settled. But the important thing is that YOU are comfortable with what YOU want.
These "pistol snobs" that think they have the correct answer for everybody need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Fortunately we don't see this on this forum.
It is great to get the opinions of others and then make your own decision based on your own criteria. The first part of the second to last line in your post. "I really like this" is the deciding factor.
