The EAA Witness2311 SC9 XXX is a true compact double-stack 1911 in 9mm, built with traditional 1911 components for everyday carry (EAA part no. 395064). A reduced grip module and magwell help it conceal, while aggressive grip texture keeps it steady in the hand. It holds 16+1 rounds and wears an all-black Cerakote finish for a clean, understated look. Unlike the CMX XXX, this SC9 keeps a grip safety alongside the ambidextrous thumb safety. It suits shooters who want a minimalist double-stack 1911 for carry or range days.
