Girsan Witness 2311 CMXX .45 ACP Compensated Pistol
Modern double-stack 1911 in .45 ACP with integral compensator, optics-ready slide, ambidextrous safety, and 11-round capacity. Compact carry-ready design with aggressive grip texturing and fiber optic sights.
The Modern Double-Stack 1911
The Girsan Witness 2311 CMXX represents a significant evolution of the classic 1911 platform. By combining the proven single-action trigger and ergonomics shooters know with modern double-stack capacity, this pistol delivers 11 rounds of .45 ACP in a package designed for serious shooters.
Recoil Management and Accuracy
The integral compensated barrel is the heart of this design. By directing expanding gases upward and to the sides, the compensator reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil, allowing faster follow-up shots and flatter shooting trajectories. This is particularly valuable in competitive shooting or defensive scenarios where speed and accuracy matter.
Ergonomic Refinements
Girsan eliminated the traditional grip safety, creating a slimmer, more streamlined grip profile without sacrificing safety—an automatic firing pin block provides the necessary protection. Key features include:
- Aggressive 360° grip texturing keeps the pistol secure under recoil
- Extended beavertail with lower angle protects your shooting hand
- Front and rear slide serrations enhance control during press checks and manipulations
- Smaller magwell improves concealability
Tactical Features
- Optics-ready slide with RMSc footprint for modern red dot sights
- Full accessory rail for lights and lasers
- Removable 3-dot sights with fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition
