EAA or European American Armory is a foreign maker of fine firearms. Similar to the classic CZ design where the slide is recessed into the frame of the pistol the EAA Witness compact is a perfect carry gun. This results in the gun sitting lower in the hand of the shooter, thus the pistol shoots flatter with less muzzle rise and slightly less felt recoil than traditional semi-autos. The EAA Witness compact 9mm semi-auto handgun has a steel frame which adds a nice heft to the pistol making it low in recoil and easy to shoot. The Traditional DA/SA trigger offers the shooter a heavier yet safe double action pull on the first shot, then after the action cycles the hammer is reset for the next shot in a much lighter single action.
