Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Double-stack 1911s have been the hot ticket for a few years now, but most of them come with a price tag that makes your wallet flinch. The Girsan Witness 2311 takes a different approach. You get the single-action trigger and grip angle that made the 1911 a legend, paired with a 17+1 payload of 9mm, and it lands at a price regular folks can justify. This version wears a 4.25 inch barrel, which puts it right in that commander-length sweet spot: enough sight radius to shoot well at distance, compact enough to wear on a belt all day.
The slide comes cut for RMS/RMSc footprint optics, and this package includes a Far-Dot red dot, so there's no waiting on a separate order before your first range trip. Underneath, the frame carries a Picatinny accessory rail for a light or laser, an extended beavertail that keeps the web of your hand happy under recoil, and an ambidextrous thumb safety that works for lefties and righties alike. The skeletonized trigger gives you that crisp, short single-action press the platform is known for, and the ergonomic polymer grip keeps the whole gun surprisingly manageable at around 1.6 pounds with an 8 inch overall length.
This is the kind of pistol that pulls double duty without complaint. Run it at the range and the flat-shooting 9mm chambering keeps follow-up shots quick and ammo costs reasonable. Set it up with the included dot and a weapon light and it makes a serious nightstand or carry gun with more than double the capacity of a traditional single-stack 1911. Serrated slide grasping grooves make press checks and racking easy, and the matte black finish keeps things low-key and wear-resistant. For anyone who has always wanted into the double-stack 1911 game without the custom-shop cost of entry, this one is worth a hard look.
Yes, this package (MPN 395030) ships with an EAA Far-Dot red dot optic in the box. The slide is cut to the RMS/RMSc footprint, so if you ever want to swap to another Shield-pattern optic like a Holosun 507K or similar, you can do that without adapter plates.
It runs Girsan's double-stack 1911 pattern magazines, and this model includes one 17-round mag. Spares are available through EAA and its dealers, so keeping a few extras loaded for range day is easy. It does not use single-stack 1911 magazines.
The commander-length 4.25 inch barrel and 8 inch overall length hit a nice middle ground. It carries easier than a full 5 inch government model but still gives you a usable sight radius and soft shooting manners. At roughly 1.6 pounds unloaded, it is lighter than most all-steel 1911s, which helps for all-day wear with a quality holster and belt.
Yes. This is a single-action pistol with a skeletonized trigger, so you get the short, crisp press that draws people to the 1911 platform in the first place. The extended beavertail and ambidextrous thumb safety round out the familiar control layout.
