I just picked up an EAA /Tangfolio Stock II( full length dust cover on frame) IN 10MM.j I have a lot of holsters and was hoping some may fit.  I figured the large frame Glocks 10/45 would be a good fit but surprisingly most of G 17 holsters fit, I mean fit good.  Particularly the Milt Sparks Summer Special2(brownels ) IWB.  I plan to soak it in rubbing alcohol for a true custom fit.

I had the same issue of no holster fitting cause I have a full size .40, poly frame w/ a rail. The rail was the issue. Found a guy locally that made a kydex on horsehide IWB for $35. I can draw from it fine but finding the right spot to re-holster is difficult. It does have some adjustment w/ holes and I'll keep playing till I find the right spot.

Owner of a 9mm Witness Match here (no rail).  Finding holsers has been a pain and I'm still looking for a tactical type.

Good news to report = the Front Line FL3349 IWB for the Jericho Baby Eagle fits very well.  Picture below.  Get from Zahal http://www.zahal.org/groups/frontline-leather-holsters

The Fobus Beretta 92 paddle holster BR2 does not fit, and there is no hope to make it fit.  Not even close.  I was under the impression most Beretta 92 holsters would take a Witness full size.  Not this one.

Interesting that the Frontline 3349 fits the full size Witness, from what I've seen  that model is for the compact, and the 3350 is for the fullsize. Anyway, good to hear that is working for you. I was contemplating ordering the 3349 for my compact 10mm. Anyone think I'll run into any problems?

I'll try to post pics of the Frontline w/ Witness installed later.  I thought you could upload pics on this site but have not found out how yet.

OK, internet rumors say the following holsters fit full size Witness (large frame) without rail:

Fobus SG21 for Sig P226
ITAC-TSI (for Taurus 24/7)

True or not?

The biggest problem with the poly light rail is finding one that fits the sqared off rail.

ehhh... yes & no..  It "fits" in the fact that the gun WILL go in the holster.. but there isn't any retention..

I've posted this waaay back in the thread, but Blade-Tech makes holsters for the Large Frame models.. With & without the rail.

Also, as several ppl have posted, sometimes the best option is to find someone in your area that makes leather/kydex holsters..

Maybe I'm daft but Safariland's website lists a few of their holsters as a fit for the Witness and Witness P. 

"We've found the following holster series that have a fit for your EAA Witness P. If needed, you can filter the list below by selecting one of the holster types."

SHTFGear http://www.shtfgear.com/Holster-by-Make/cz/ACE-1-CZ-75B-C

Has a hybrid holster (similar to crossbreed or comptac) made for CZ75b compact (without rail) that after a little adjustment has worked flawlessly for my witness compact 10mm.

By adjustment i mean the kydex mold is formed for the CZ75 compact, and has dips cut into the sides of the dust cover, whereas the witness does not. this takes about 30 seconds with a bic lighter. I also chose to mess with the retention via the trigger guard. It works as is, but where the CZ is squared and the witness is rounded, there is room for modification and improvement.

Free replacement clips for life, and they also include a pair of leather snap clips for tucking your shirt in. Quality is top notch.

Sig P226 CQC Serpa from Blackhawk.  Had to cut a tiny bit of the holster away for the slide catch on the right side as you can see in the photo.  It's very snug but draws nicely.  Not a 100% perfect fit but still definitely works.  Takes a little getting used to because of the tight fit.  The witness p is a bit shorter sights to butt than the sigs are.

Congrats on finding the holster Chris. I've been searching for a serpa that will fit my witness steel compact for a while now. Given the "identical" basic dimensions between the witness P and the steel, do you think this holster would also work for the steel?

I'm not sure.  Keep in mind the gun's lines don't exactly line up with the Serpa.  It's not an exact fit.  If you like tight tight tolerances then I'd say go for it.  If not, keep looking.  I'm currently making my own IWB for my P.  Almost done with it.
