Girsan, through EAA, has introduced a new variant of its Witness 2311 pistol, the new Girsan CMX Witness 2311. The new CMX Witness 2311\u2019s main feature (or lack thereof) is its omission of a grip safety. Instead, this double-stack 1911\u2019s grip module is smooth. In addition, Girsan added an \u201cAuto Firing Pin Block Safety\u201d internally in order to take the missing grip safety into account.<\/p>\n
When it comes to competition pistols, some shooters opt to disable the grip safety on their discipline-specific pistols because it can get in the way of their specific two-handed \u201chigh up\u201d firing grips. Likewise, a less-than-ideal draw might mean that the safety isn\u2019t depressed correctly, which could cost a competitor valuable seconds in a match. Many shooters will pin or tape down grip safeties. On the other hand, many manufacturers of high-performance double-stack 1911 parts also sell double-stack grip modules without a grip safety as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Girsan CMX Witness 2311 does the same thing, but with a more accessible overall price, since its MSRP is slightly less than $1,000. CMX grip modules are manufactured from polymer and accept 17-round, 2011-pattern 9 mm magazines. The frame itself includes a full-length Picatinny dustcover section and sits flush with the muzzle.<\/p>\n
Aside from its lack of grip safety and its inclusion of the auto-firing-pin-block safety, the Girsan CMX Witness 2311 is outfitted with a commander-length slide and a corresponding 4.25 inch 9 mm bull barrel. The CMX Witness 2311 slide is factory-cut and optics-ready for any red-dot sight that uses the Shield Sights RMSc optics-footprint pattern. It does include a rear sight which sits on a dovetail that also serves as the pistol\u2019s standard optics cut cover. The slide also includes front and rear slide serrations. Front serrations also double as slide lightening cuts.<\/p>\n
