Considering a EAA/Tanfoglio Witness in 10mm - Thoughts?

Wot the title said.
I would carry this 15 round beast as well as enjoy foolin' with it at the range. I am happily able to use my 40 short & weak dies but I will have to (GASP) buy 10mm brass.
I have only a small bit of familiarity with their line up, and I expect it will be very difficult to see any in the flesh. I have seen many CZ75s, and I have never had a gun feel so good in my grubby booger hooks.
One review suggested that it has many of the best features of the M9/92FS and the 1911.
I think I would like a SA model for carry reasons. The "wonder finish" aka "wonder why they call it a finish" is really attractive.

Good, solid, accurate guns. I miss my Witness, but it wasn't for me.

I would love to get one. 10mm isn't that hard to find, if Georgia Arms hits your local gun show they have 10mm ammo for the same price as their .45 ACP ammo. They use Starline brass for their 10mm ammo. The Witness Wonder Finish doesn't last long under hard use, but it looks good while it lasts. You can get new upper/barrel combos so you can shoot the .40 Short & Weak or the .45 ACP out of it, too.

If I find it so offensive to buy brass, you can only imagine me recoiling at your suggestion that I purchase loaded ammo!

Gotta get brass somehow! I've found people selling once fired 10mm brass occasionally on vaguntrader.com. I picked up 500 cases for $50.

I found some online from schafs or something. Top Brass has 1000 for $140.
Starline is $147 for 1000 but back ordered.
Ammo brass trader.com is a great source but demand way outstrips supply.
I try VAGuntrader, thanks.
