Description
The 2311 concept is simple: take the crisp single action trigger and all-metal feel people love about a 1911, then build it around a modern double-stack 9mm that feeds from widely available P320-pattern magazines. The OA Defense 2311 Full Size Pro Elite is the flagship version of that idea, machined in North Carolina and refined over three years of input from competition shooters and combat veterans. The grip module and magwell are CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum with aggressive texturing and interchangeable thumb ledges, so the gun locks into your hands and stays put through long strings of fire.
What Makes the Pro Elite Different
This is the upgraded trigger group, with a Pro-tuned 3.5 to 4 pound break, short reset, and a skeletonized hammer. A Springer Precision extended mag release paddle comes standard, which makes reloads faster without shifting your grip. Up top, the 5 inch V-ported barrel works with the lightening-cut slide to vent gases around your sight line, and the difference in muzzle rise is something you feel on the very first magazine. Follow-up shots come back on target fast, which is exactly what you want whether you are shooting a match or burning through a case of ammo on a range day.
Optics, Sights, and Ambi Controls on the 2311
The slide ships optics ready with four mounting plates covering the most popular red dot footprints, and the plates are designed so you keep a co-witnessing rear sight rather than giving it up for the dot. Prefer irons? The tritium night sights are ready to go right out of the case. Controls are fully ambidextrous, including the safety, a dedicated right-side slide stop, and a reversible mag release, so left-handed folks are not an afterthought here.
OA 2311 Full Size Pro Elite in the Box
This one arrives with a 21-round and two 17-round Magpul AMAG magazines, the four optic plates, and a custom pistol case, and it will run any P320-pattern mag you already own. It is a lot of pistol, set up right from the factory, with very little left to upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the OA Defense 2311 Pro Elite take 2011 magazines?
No, and that is one of its biggest selling points. The 2311 platform feeds from Sig P320-pattern magazines, which are affordable, easy to find, and made by multiple manufacturers. It ships with Magpul AMAG mags, and any P320-pattern magazine drops right in.
What red dots can I mount on the 2311 Full Size Pro Elite?
The slide comes optics ready with four included mounting plates that cover the most popular footprints, including RMR, DeltaPoint Pro, and Holosun K/RMSc patterns. The plate system is designed to co-witness, so you keep a usable rear sight behind your dot instead of losing it.
How is the Pro Elite different from the standard OA 2311?
The Pro Elite steps up to a CNC-machined 7075 aluminum grip module with aggressive texturing and interchangeable thumb ledges, plus an enhanced 3.5 to 4 pound trigger with a skeletonized hammer. It also adds a Springer Precision extended mag release and the V-ported barrel and cut slide that noticeably tame muzzle rise.
Is the OA 2311 Pro Elite good for left-handed use?
Yes, this is one of the more lefty-friendly pistols in its class. It has an ambidextrous thumb safety, a dedicated right-side slide stop, and a reversible magazine release, so nothing about running it left-handed feels like a workaround.
