The 2311 Pro Elite now has an aluminum grip frame.

This full-metal pistol is designed to deliver exceptional reliability and control, making it perfect for both duty use and high-round count range days.

It combines 2011 shootability with a Sig P320 grip. Check out their original launch in 2023.

Build and Design

Crafted from precision CNC-machined 7075 aluminum, the Pro Elite’s grip module provides an effective grip. The aggressive texturing and interchangeable thumb ledges ensure a rock-solid grip, providing superior ergonomics and handling when split-seconds matter, and even when it’s cold outside.

The sleek, FDE Cerakote-finished receiver is durable and looks great. It’s also available in black with black. Unlike other 2011’s, the Pro Elite uses P320 mags. These are affordable and available, and it ships with two Magpul mags.

Performance and Features

Chambered in 9x19mm, the OA 2311 Pro Elite features a cut and contoured slide with a V-ported 5-inch barrel. This design significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots.

The enhanced Pro-tuned trigger, with a pull weight of 3.5-4.0 lbs, offers a crisp pull and short reset, refining the shooting experience even further.

Adaptability and Control

The Pro Elite has fully ambidextrous controls. With a dedicated right-side slide stop, ambi safety, and reversible mag release, this pistol ensures that left-handed shooters are not left out.

Additionally, the Pro Elite comes with multiple co-witnessing slide plates, making it easy to mount popular red dot optics without sacrificing a rear sight.

Is the OA Defense 2311 Pro Elite Better than a 2011?

It’s a testament to OA Defense’s commitment to quality and innovation. It will start shipping in the Spring of 2025. $3,199 MSRP.
