Girsan builds the 2311 around double-stack 9mm magazines made by Checkmate Industries. EAA includes one 17-rounder and one 20-rounder with each gun. The Match 2311 has a large magazine well funnel for fast reloads. It also comes equipped with an adjustable rear sight, which is removable to reveal an RMSc-pattern optics mounting footprint. The frame has a full-length rail that extends to the muzzle of the 5-inch barrel. The frame is lightweight aluminum and is Cerakoted a tungsten color. EAA guarantees a trigger pull weight of no more than 4.5 pounds. The Match 2311 has an MSRP of $989
The Match X model adds a frame-mounted compensator in front of the muzzle. That tames recoil to keep the gun stable while running fast. The front sight is also upgraded to a fiber optic model. MSRP for the Match X is $1,069. Both the Match and Match X models come packaged in hard cases with foam inserts for the pistols and magazines.

The Witness2311 Match features an optic-ready slide with an RMSc footprint and a tactical adjustable rear sight. Taking full advantage of its high capacity, EAA Corp includes one 20-round Checkmate magazine along with one 17-round Checkmate magazine, ensuring full match action.

Dropping the "Witness" off of "Witness2311" seems unwise when the "OA 2311" also exists and is the reason EAA always refers to their product as the Witness2311 in documentation and releases.
