    It certainly looks better with the nasty plastic grips designated to the bin and replaced by Hogue wrap around rosewood ones.

    Direct replacement, no messing about, $34 from Outdoor World.

    My mistake mate, they are Pachmayr wrap around grips, not Hogue (threw the packaging away long ago.....). I don't think they will ship out of the lower 48 States. I bought these the last time we were over there.

    i got a Tanfoglio witness yesterday , seems a very well made gun , but my goodness it likes its gas,, ,
    i get 3 mags at good power , and the 4th is to low to be very accurate .
    seems best to load 4 mags with 15 in , that way get to reload 4 times .
    i also like the way it strips down like to original .
    all in all a very well made gun for the money .
    lets hope its reliable in the long term.
    does anyone know if seals and mags are available on the net anywhere ?

    Try MidwayUK

    http://www.midwayuk.com/apps/eproduc...eItemID=604649

    or the Hogue ones.

    http://www.midwayuk.com/apps/eproduc...eItemID=563401

    Used them a couple of times now and although the delivery can take a while (they come in from the States) the prices etc are pretty good.

    Just ordered a Tangfolio (Tues) should be in by w/e at a local rfd ,looking forward to trying it after all the hype about them .
    a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
    This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !
