I shot my dad's Witness today. It's a smooth gun. Looks just like a CZ-75 maybe a little bigger. The trigger is listed as breaking at 6.5 lbs/. It feels reeeeaaaal good though, nice and smooth.
The .22 LR kit is very accurate. We covered a forearm sized 2x4 at 20 yards without any problem. The .22 kit would not lock the slide back, but otherwise fed flawlessly.
The .45 was very nice. The best .45 I've ever shot. Recoil was minimal. It was more accurate than any other .45 I've shot. Of course, we were using a lot of hand loads, so I can't vouch for the quality of the ammo.
The .45 feed was not great, but again, the hand loads. They were semi-wadcutters and seemed to be hitting the feed ramp and shearing.
The other problem was the magazines didn't seem to fit the pistol very well. The seemed like it hit something about halfway up and then, once secured, was very loose.
I don't know what my dad paid for the .45 and .22 conversion kit, but it seems like a good deal to me. I wouldn't mind something along those lines myself. I may look into a CZ 97... yea, I know... we'll see.

P.S. First problem with the P-01. Didn't eject one round properly. 1 problem in about 500 rounds.
