Unveiled at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, the latest Witness2311 models were developed in collaboration with global manufacturing partner Girsan and Check-Mate. At the core of this innovation is a newly engineered slim-profile magazine, purpose-built by Check-Mate to complement the compact grip module while maintaining a full 16-round capacity.
“Our collaboration with EAA on the Witness2311® platform is a testament to what can be achieved when performance engineering leads the conversation,” said David Blenker, Chief Business Development Officer. “Designing a flush-fit, high-capacity magazine for a sub-compact 1911 variant required a relentless focus on geometry, materials, and reliability. The result is a magazine that enhances concealability without compromising capacity or function.”
