Accessories for EAA

EAA, European American Armory, sells the Witness pistols in the United States. The Witness is built by Tanfoglio in Italy on the CZ 75 pattern, which makes it a close relative of the Tanfoglio Limited, Stock and Force models and of the IWI Jericho. For a Witness owner that has one big advantage: sights made for those guns often fit yours, and the choice is wider than the EAA name alone suggests.

Why change the rear sight

The factory Witness rear is a fixed sight. If your hits land left, right, high or low with your chosen ammunition, the only fix is to drift it in the dovetail or file the front. With an adjustable rear, the correction is a few turns of two small screws at the range, repeated whenever you change load.

Two LPA rear sights

LPA in Italy makes two adjustable rears that fit the Witness, and they differ in dovetail. One is a 9.5 mm rear originally made for the Tanfoglio Limited, available with a blank face, white dots or white lines. The other comes from the Tanfoglio Force range and is offered blank, with fiber optic or with white dots. Both are steel and both work with your factory front sight.

Which sight picture

A plain black rear with fine serrations kills reflections and leaves the front sight as the only thing that stands out, good for slow precision shooting. White dots or lines give quick alignment in normal light. A fiber optic rear adds bright points for speed in daylight.

Before you order, decide whether you want to keep the factory front; both rears are made to work with it. All Witness sights are in Sights for EAA, and the Accessories for EAA Witness page shows them by model.

Frequently asked questions

Which of the two rears fits my Witness?

Measure the rear sight dovetail on your slide and compare it with the product page; the 9.5 mm rear and the Force type rear use different cuts.

Do I need a new front sight?

No. Both rears work with the factory front.

Can I fit it myself?

Many shooters do with a sight pusher. LPA recommends fitting by a qualified gunsmith.
