By Mitch Goerdt | March 4, 2025 |

EAA (European American Armory) continues to push the boundaries of performance and affordability with the latest expansion to their Witness 2311 lineup. Designed to compete with high-end double-stack 1911s while maintaining an accessible price point, the Witness2311® series brings a combination of versatility, quality, and innovation to the carry and competition markets.

The EAA Witness 2311 Brat .45 ACP, shown with a SureFire light attachment, offers a reliable, powerful, and ergonomic carry option in a compact frame.

The newest addition to the Witness2311® family is the Witness 2311 Brat, a compact, double-stack 1911 designed for concealed carry. Chambered in 9mm and .45 ACP, this pistol features a 3.4-inch barrel, making it a highly concealable and practical option for everyday carry. Despite its small frame, it retains the same core functionality and reliability that has made the Witness2311® line popular.

Witness 2311 MatchX – Performance-Driven Innovation

For those looking for a high-performance carry option, EAA introduces the Witness 2311 MatchX. This model takes the features of the standard Witness2311® and enhances them with:

  • Alloy Frame for reduced weight
  • Lightning Cuts for improved balance and reduced recoil
  • Premium 4.5 lb Trigger for crisp, precise shooting
  • 17 and 20 Round Magazine Options for extended capacity
  • Accuracy Guarantee with a factory-tested target included

EAA proudly claims that the MatchX delivers the best performance for the price, offering an outstanding balance of accuracy, durability, and functionality in a competitive carry gun.
