Hello all;
I'm new to the forum and to Witness pistols. I've been a 1911 user in competition for over 20 years and recently became interested in Witness pistols. I'm researching different models and I'm noticing a discrepancy in the stated weight of the steel frame models. I borrowed a older Witness (9mm steel full size) made in 1979 and with an empty mag it weighs 42 oz. The newer steel frame full size models have a stated weight of 33 oz and they have the accessory under lug.
Does anyone here know why the older steel pistols would weigh over a half pound more than the newer steel frame pistols?
Another question is why the full size polymer pistols only weigh 2 oz less than the steel frame models (according to factory specs) ?
Your replies are appreciated
Thanks, Steve
