They won't honor a warranty except for the original owner.

A number of major gunmakers won't honor a warranty unless it's the original owner, although some will offer various levels of support.
Most of the problems I've read about had to do with
original owners being denied warranty coverage, and EAA wouldn't even discuss the matter. In those cases, an EAA manager automatically claimed that any cracked frame or slide was due to hot handloads, and did so without even looking at the gun. In all of the cases I've heard about, the shooters said they were using factory ammo. Most of those shooters also claimed they didn't roll their own. Tanfoglio later changed the slides on the Witness .45s and 10mm models; I don't whether there were any Tanfoglio frame design changes.
I've had several .45 Witnesses, and they've all been 100%. One was an older
Sport Long Slide. That one had a barrel fail, and it wasn't bought new -- so I replaced it. Nice gun; I later traded it away, but probably should have kept it.
