EAA Corp has just launched two new Witness2311 models, the CMX and the CMXX.
If you’re a fan of double-stack 9mm 1911s, EAA Corp has just brought two more options to the market for you to consider—the CMX and the CMXX. EAA also says that the CMXX will be available in 10mm Auto and .45 ACP later this spring, so it may be worth holding out if you want something with a bigger bore.
The Witness2311 CMX and CMXX are essentially the same gun, except the CMXX features an integrated compensator. Otherwise, both pistols have 4.25-inch bull barrels, tuned triggers, full-length accessory rails and optics-ready slides (RMSc footprint). They also feature lightening-cut slides, ambidextrous thumb safeties and auto firing pin-block safeties. That last detail also means that they were able to delete the grip safety. They have a capacity of 17 rounds with their standard flush-fit magazines and sport low-profile magwells.
Chase Duffey, Director of Sales at EAA Corp, said this about the new models:
Based on the feedback we received, we’re now producing our entire Witness2311 line with the CMX and CMXX aggressive grip texturing instead of the traditional checkering … And while we’re stepping away from tradition, we also removed the grip safety and replaced it with an Auto Firing Pin-Block safety. That change allowed us to deliver a much slimmer pistol with a smaller magwell. These are exciting improvements that people are going to appreciate the moment they pick one up.
The Girsan Witness2311 CMX has an MSRP of $1,000 and the CMXX has an MSRP of $1,150. Both are shipping now.
