Description

The 10mm crowd waited a long time for a double-stack 1911-style pistol with a 6-inch barrel that didn't cost as much as a used truck, and EAA and Girsan finally delivered it. The Witness 2311 Hunter pairs a long 4140 steel slide with a 15-round double-stack magazine, so you get the full ballistic potential of the 10mm cartridge plus capacity that old-school single stacks can't touch. That extra inch of barrel squeezes more velocity out of hot loads, and the longer sight radius makes precise shot placement noticeably easier at hunting distances.

Built Like a 1911, Fed Like a 2311

Everything you like about the 1911 platform is here: single-action trigger, grip safety, extended beavertail, and ambidextrous thumb safeties that work from either side. The skeletonized trigger breaks clean enough for careful work on game, and the flared magwell makes reloads quick even with cold hands. The frame blends steel where it counts with polymer furniture to keep weight around 30 ounces, which is enough heft to tame full-power 10mm without turning the gun into a boat anchor on your hip.

Optics Ready for the Field

The slide on this Witness 2311 Hunter comes cut for RMSc-footprint red dots with a removable cover plate, so mounting a micro dot takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith. Prefer irons? The adjustable rear sight lets you dial in your preferred hunting load, whether that's 180-grain jacketed stuff or heavy hard cast. Front and rear slide serrations give you solid purchase for press checks and chamber work, and the Picatinny rail underneath handles a light or laser without fuss.

Why the 2311 Hunter Earns a Spot in the Rotation

Hog hunters, backcountry hikers who want serious sidearm power, and anyone who just enjoys running a big-bore 1911 will find a lot to like here. It runs the classic control layout your thumbs already know, feeds from double-stack magazines, and carries EAA's limited lifetime warranty. For a long-slide 10mm with this feature list, there isn't much else on the shelf that competes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What red dot optics fit the Witness 2311 Hunter?

The slide is cut for the RMSc footprint, which covers popular micro dots like the Holosun 507K and 407K, Shield RMSc, and similar compact optics. Remove the cover plate and your dot mounts directly to the slide. If you'd rather run irons, the adjustable rear sight lets you zero for your preferred load.

Does the 6-inch barrel really make a difference with 10mm?

It does. The 10mm cartridge picks up meaningful velocity from a longer barrel, which translates to flatter trajectory and more energy on target at hunting distances. You also get a longer sight radius, which makes precise shooting with the irons noticeably easier than with a 4 or 5-inch gun.

Is the Girsan Witness 2311 Hunter a true 1911 action?

Yes, it runs a single-action, recoil-operated 1911-style system with an external hammer, grip safety, and ambidextrous thumb safeties. The big difference is the double-stack frame that feeds from 15-round magazines instead of the traditional single stack. If you already shoot 1911s, the manual of arms will feel completely familiar.

Is this pistol suited for hog and deer hunting?

That's exactly what it was built for. Full-power 10mm loads with heavy bonded or hard cast bullets are proven medicine on hogs and deer at responsible handgun distances. The long barrel, adjustable sights, and optic-ready slide give you the accuracy tools to place shots well, and the 30-ounce weight helps soak up recoil from stout loads.
