The EAA Witness2311 CMX XXX is a compact double-stack 1911 in 9mm built for everyday carry (EAA part no. 395062). A grip module that European American Armory reduced by nearly 25 percent holds a custom Check-Mate magazine for a full 16+1 capacity. The slide is cut for RMSc footprint optics and finished in two-tone black and tungsten Cerakote. An automatic firing pin block safety replaces the traditional 1911 grip safety, which trims bulk at the top of the grip. For concealed carry or a compact range pistol, it packs a lot of rounds into a small frame.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm Luger, a common carry and practice cartridge.
• Capacity is 16+1 rounds with the custom Check-Mate magazine, a high count for a compact 1911.
• Barrel length is 3.4 inches with a coned profile, which keeps the pistol compact.
• The finish is two-tone black and tungsten Cerakote, a hard coating with a sharp two-tone look.

• The safety is an automatic firing pin block with an ambidextrous thumb safety lever, in place of a grip safety.
• The trigger is single action and factory tuned to a 4.5-pound maximum pull.
• Overall length is 7 inches and weight is 1.25 pounds with an empty magazine, which helps it carry comfortably.
