Mec-Gar Witness - Tanfoglio Full-Size Large Frame 14 round .40 S&W magazine with the anti-friction coating MGWIT40LFAFC. These magazines are for the full sized large frame EAA Witness, Tanfoglio that take the factory magazine part #101940. This is the magazine you need for the EAA Witness/Tanfoglio Stock II and Stock III (large frame models). If your full-sized metal-framed pistol has the numbers 1140 after the serial number, you have the small-framed pistol, and this magazine will not fit. The Witness PS (Polymer small frame) also takes the small frame Witness magazines. The Witness large frame magazine is too wide to fit the magwell. Mec-Gar is now the OEM supplier of Tanfoglio magazines, and these are Mec-Gar's aftermarket version of the factory magazines they now make.
This magazine doesn't fit the Witness PS (small frame polymer) or the small frame metal EAA Witness/Tanfoglio.
These magazines won’t fit the Witness P Match without the Witness factory OEM base pad 102037.
How to determine if you need the Witness Large Frame or Small Frame magazines:
Prior to 2005, the EAA Witness was produced in both small-frame and large-frame configurations, depending on the caliber and frame material. The Witness Classics and EAA Witness pistols made before 2005 in either 9mm or .40 S&W take small frame magazines. The .38 Super, .45 ACP, and 10mm models are all considered large-frame pistols. Witness P in full size, Witness Steel, Elite, and the Xtreme line models made after 2005 take large frame magazines. However, the EAA Witness P-S (small frame polymer) uses the small frame magazines. If your pistol takes the Witness magazine #101900, you need the small-frame 9mm magazines. The small frame magazines are approximately 0.796” thick (side to side) and 1.25 long (front to back). The large frame magazines are approximately .843” thick (side to side) and 1.369 long (front to back). The large frame 9mm magazines have grooves down the sides of the magazine tube, while the small frame 9mm magazines are smooth on the sides. The EAA Witness 9mm small frame magazines used to hold 16 rounds; now both the EAA Witness 9mm small frame and large frame magazines hold 17 rounds. Neither the large nor the small-frame .40 S&W magazine tubes have grooves on the sides of the magazine tubes. The small frame EAA Witness .40 S&W magazines hold 12 rounds, and the EAA Witness .40 S&W large frame magazines hold 14 rounds.
This magazine doesn't fit the Witness PS (small frame polymer) or the small frame metal EAA Witness/Tanfoglio.
Small Frames include all Witness PS, Witness Classics, and firearms produced in 9mm or 40 S&W previous to the year 2005.
