Just wondering if CZ P-06 holsters would work with this Compact? I doubt CZ will produce a compact 45 in steel or alloy, so this will likely fit my needs. Thanks!

I can't say about that holster, but if you are looking for a good holster, the German Police surplus P6 holsters are an excellent fit. They are quality holsters, and come in a variety of styles, including concealment, for usually less than $15.

Any links or known sources? Thanks.

OK, This is where I got mine (I have 3 different styles), http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/Holsters-c330.htm. I haven't tried one out, but I recall hearing that the P5 holsters would also work with a CZ style compact. At prices like these, it wouldn't be too painful to put it to the test.,,

I had a custom kydex holster made at a gun show along with a dual mag carrier. $100 total. They molded everything from my gun and the mag since there's usually no standard molds for these.

I have Compact Witnesses in .38 Super, 10mm and .45 acp.  They all shoot well and I haven't had any issues with any ammunition I've put through any of them.

Hope this helps.

Just brought mine home tonight, it fits my Alien Gear for P-01 better than the P-06 does (slide and frame width are closer to P-01).

I have one exactly like it. Very nice gun. I bought Copper Gun Grips (https://coppergungrips.com/Witness_Grips.php) because I didn't like the plastic that came with it. I did buy rubber grips from EAA but the grips from Copper are really nice. I shoot Federal HST2 230gr .45 ammo as my defensive round. Have never had an issue with it or target/ball ammo. I did have new springs from Hennings Shop which greatly improved the trigger. The rear sight that comes with the Hennings kit also fixed the issue with the gun shooting low. Conceals very well.

Thanks for this! I just brought mine home tonight and the DA trigger is very heavy, glad there are lighter springs available. The rubber grips on CZs appeal to me so I'll see what EAA offers but the hard plastic ones might do just fine in conceal, less shirt grabby. The rear sight isn't ideal either so I hope the Hennings one is adjustable. You hit on 3 of my issues I have, and I haven't shot it yet (tomorrow seems so far away). My only other beef is the sharp corner of the mag base plate. That's getting filed/sanded down before it punctures my palm!

Oh, mine says EAA-COCOA-FLA. They must have moved. Stamped FT-IT 2017, and the serial number has my birth year in it so I know it's mine!

Looks like my Witness 45 auto compact except mine has the standard type rear CZ style sight.
Nice little pistol.
