EAA Corp Expands Witness 2311 Line with New CMX and CMXX
EAA Corp continues to refine its budget-friendly Witness 2311 platform with the introduction of two new models: the CMX and CMXX. Both pistols build on the foundation of the double-stack 1911 concept, offering modern features, enhanced performance, and options tailored to different end-user needs.
CMX: Modular Performance, Modernized 1911
The Witness 2311 CMX is designed as a versatile, performance-driven platform. It features front and rear slide serrations, a 4.25-inch bull barrel, and an optics-ready slide with an RMSc footprint. A tuned 4.5 lb trigger rounds out the package, delivering a clean and consistent break.
One of the standout aspects of the CMX is its compatibility with a wide range of 1911 slides, barrels, and internal components. This gives end users the ability to fine-tune and customize their build an appealing feature for those looking to tailor performance to their specific preferences.
CMXX: Compensated Carry, Refined Control
The Witness 2311 CMXX takes a different approach, focusing on recoil mitigation and carry-ready performance. Positioned as the spiritual successor to the Witness 2311 Match, the CMXX features a 4.25-inch barrel with an integrated compensator designed to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise.
Like the CMX, it includes front and rear slide serrations, an optics-ready slide with an RMSc footprint, and a tuned 4.5 lb trigger. However, the integrated compensator sets it apart—offering flatter shooting characteristics in a compact package geared toward everyday carry.
Product Descriptions
Below are the official product descriptions for the Witness 2311 CMX and CMXX:
Witness 2311 CMX
The next-generation Girsan Double Stack Witness2311® CMX Series takes the 1911 platform to a new level. Built to be compatible with many 1911 slides, barrels, and parts, the CMX isn’t just another “double stack” trying to look the part, it’s a true evolution of the 1911 design, upgraded with match grade performance where it matters most.
As the successor to the original platform, the CMX refines the system for modern performance. By replacing the traditional 1911 grip safety with an Auto Firing Pin Block, the CMX achieves a slimmer, more streamlined grip module.
A low profile magwell improves concealability, while aggressive all-around texturing delivers a locked in feel and control under pressure. The CMX is built for modern carry setups, with a direct mount RMSc optic cut and a full accessory rail for lights or lasers. Finished with a crisp, 4.5 lb max tuned trigger, it delivers consistent performance when it matters most.
Witness 2311 CMXX
The Next Generation Witness2311 CMXX pushes the iconic 1911 platform beyond its limits, delivering double stack capacity in a carry ready package. Its integral compensated barrel helps reduce felt recoil for faster, flatter shooting.
As the successor to the original compensated Match X, the CMXX is the first compact compensated double-stack 1911 chambered in 10mm. A redesigned frame eliminates the traditional 1911 grip safety, creating a slimmer, more streamlined grip, while adding an automatic firing pin block. The CMXX is also offered in 9mm and .45 ACP.
A new grip module with a smaller magwell improves concealability, while aggressive 360° texturing keeps the pistol locked in your hand under recoil. An extended beavertail with a lower angle helps protect your shooting hand, and front and rear slide serrations enhance control during press checks and manipulations, making the CMXX a great everyday carry handgun.
Price & Availability
With the CMX and CMXX, EAA Corp continues to expand the Witness 2311 platform in meaningful ways. Each model serves a distinct purpose: the CMX leans into modularity and customization, while the CMXX delivers a compensated, carry-ready setup focused on recoil control and shootability.
Both pistols are available now, with the CMX retailing at $999 MSRP and the CMXX at $1,229 MSRP. Together, they offer shooters flexible options to choose a platform that best fits their intended use and shooting style.
