ORACLE ARMS 2311™ PRESS RELEASE
Dayton, Nevada – For Immediate Release
Oracle Arms is proud to release an industry-first pistol design loaded with innovative features. The Oracle Arms 2311™ is the ultimate combination of race gun DNA and duty weapon reliability. It combines the time-tested 1911 operating system with modern engineering and manufacturing processes to create a pistol that is on the leading edge of industry design.
“Our primary objective when designing the 2311 was to combine the fit, finish, speed, and trigger pull of a purpose-built single-action match pistol with the versatility and reliability of a striker-fired polymer duty pistol. Not only did we accomplish that, but we did so while wrapping the platform around a magazine that is roughly 1/3 rd of the cost of the competition that doesn’t suffer from any of the common issues that current “double-stack 1911” magazines are notorious for. To make the barrier to entry even lower, we priced the 2311 in a range that makes it approachable for the average enthusiast and recreational competition shooters.”
KEY FEATURES:
• Available in five 9mm configurations: Compact, Compact Elite, Combat, Combat Elite, and Competition
• Modular grip and magwell provide unmatched versatility and mission adaptability
• SIG® P320 magazine compatibility allows for the use of readily available, reliable, and cost-effective magazines
• Patented debris clearance channels in critical areas ensure peak performance in austere environments
• Right-side slide lock; the first completely ambidextrous double-stack 1911-style platform
• Includes four interchangeable slide plates, allowing the use of the most popular optics right out of the box
• Innovative linkless barrel and bushing-free design provide for simple takedown and assembly
To get a hands-on experience with the 2311, please visit Oracle Arms at the upcoming 2023 SHOT Show in booth 70143 in Caesars Forum and at Industry Day At The Range.
