Featuring a 3.4-inch bull barrel, 16+1 capacity, RMSc optics-ready slide, factory-tuned trigger, reduced XXX Series grip module, and two 16-round Check-Mate magazines, the CMX XXX represents one of the most compact members of the Girsan Witness 2311 family.Designed around concealed carry and everyday use, Girsan substantially reduced the dimensions of its existing double-stack grip system. The resulting CMX XXX grip module is approximately 25% smaller, creating a shorter and slimmer grip that fits naturally in the hand while retaining an impressive 16+1 rounds of 9mm capacity.The compact dimensions are complemented by a distinctive two-tone Tungsten Cerakote and black finish, aggressive slide machining, front and rear serrations, lightening cuts, and a shortened grip profile that gives the CMX XXX an unmistakably modern appearance.For shooters searching for a compact double-stack 1911, compact 2011-style pistol, optics-ready carry pistol, or high-capacity compact 9mm, the Girsan Witness 2311 CMX XXX brings together traditional single-action operation and modern concealed-carry features at an attractive price point.Compact XXX Series Grip - 16+1 CapacityThe defining feature of the Witness 2311 CMX XXX is its newly developed compact grip system.Girsan reduced the size of the existing Witness 2311 double-stack grip module, magazine and magwell by approximately 25%, creating the company's most compact double-stack 1911 configuration while maintaining a full 16+1 capacity.The grip measures approximately 1.25 inches wide and features aggressive texturing designed to provide a secure interface without requiring the dimensions of a traditional full-size double-stack frame.A low-profile magwell helps maintain the pistol's streamlined profile.The result is a pistol that combines:Compact grip dimensions16+1 rounds of 9mmDouble-stack magazine designAggressive grip textureLow-profile magwellReduced overall bulkCarry-oriented proportions3.4" Bull BarrelAt the heart of the CMX XXX is a compact 3.4-inch bull barrel.The bull-barrel configuration complements the pistol's compact slide while providing the robust barrel profile commonly associated with performance-oriented 1911-style pistols.Combined with an overall length of approximately 7 inches, the CMX XXX delivers a highly compact footprint without dropping into a low-capacity configuration.RMSc Optics-Ready SlideThe EAA Girsan Witness 2311 CMX XXX is optics ready from the factory with an RMSc-pattern slide cut.The compact optic footprint gives shooters the ability to configure the pistol with a compatible micro red dot while maintaining the streamlined dimensions appropriate for a compact carry pistol.For shooters who prefer traditional sights, the pistol also features a 3-dot sight system.Aggressive Slide Lightening CutsThe CMX XXX isn't simply a shortened Witness 2311.Its black slide receives extensive machining, including top and side lightening cuts designed to reduce slide mass while giving the pistol its aggressive appearance.Front and rear slide serrations provide additional gripping surfaces for slide manipulation, while the cuts flow into the overall profile of the pistol.Combined with the Tungsten Cerakote frame, the black machined slide gives the CMX XXX a distinctive two-tone finish.Factory-Tuned 4.5 lb TriggerThe Witness 2311 CMX XXX uses a single-action-only operating system with a factory-tuned trigger rated at a maximum pull weight of approximately 4.5 pounds.This provides the familiar trigger characteristics that make the 1911 platform popular while incorporating them into a much more compact, higher-capacity configuration.Automatic Firing Pin Block SafetyOne of the most significant changes to the CMX XXX design is its safety system.Rather than utilizing the traditional external 1911 grip safety, Girsan incorporates an internal automatic firing pin block.The pistol retains an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, providing familiar operation for both right- and left-handed shooters.Safety FeaturesAutomatic firing pin blockAmbidextrous manual safetyNo traditional grip safetySingle-action-only operationTwo 16-Round Check-Mate Magazines IncludedThe CMX XXX uses a specially designed compact double-stack magazine developed to work with its shortened grip module.Included with the pistol are two 16-round Check-Mate aluminum magazines, giving the compact Witness 2311 a standard capacity of 16+1 rounds.That combination of reduced grip dimensions and 16-round magazine capacity is one of the features that separates the CMX XXX from conventional compact 1911 pistols.Concealed Carry Focused Witness 2311At approximately 1.25 pounds with an empty magazine, the CMX XXX is designed specifically around a smaller, lighter Witness 2311 configuration.Its combination of a shortened grip, 3.4-inch barrel, approximately 7-inch overall length and micro-red-dot-compatible slide makes it particularly appealing to shooters looking for a concealable double-stack 1911-style pistol.According to EAA, the CMX XXX is also compatible with most Staccato CS-style holsters, giving owners access to an established category of compact holster designs.*EAA Girsan Witness 2311 CMX XXX FeaturesCompact double-stack 1911-style pistolChambered in 9mm16+1 capacity3.4" bull barrelApproximately 7" overall lengthCompact

Girsan Witness 2311 CMX XXX is built for shooters who like the trigger and ergonomics of the 1911 platform but want the capacity, optics capability and compact dimensions expected from a modern carry pistol.Rather than simply shortening the barrel of an existing Witness 2311, Girsan developed a substantially smaller grip and magazine system around the CMX XXX. That allows the pistol to retain an impressive 16+1 capacity while reducing the grip module by approximately 25%.Add the 3.4-inch bull barrel, RMSc optic cut, tuned 4.5-pound trigger, automatic firing pin block, ambidextrous safety, aggressive slide cuts and two included Check-Mate magazines, and the CMX XXX becomes a compelling option in the growing compact double-stack 1911 category.Compact Size.
