Oracle Arms is a brand-new company with a unique product that they released this year. This gun is called the Oracle Arms 2311 and it’s a pistol that is still in the prototyping stage.

Like the gun, their website isn’t completed yet but shows the specifications and features of five different models that are in the works.

Still, the 2311 is projected to be ready in the late spring of this year, so keep your eyes peeled. Simply put, the 2311 is a double-stack 1911 (called a 2011) that takes SIG P320 magazines and has a unique slide and lower.

Another angle of the Combat Elite.

What is amazing about this high-capacity 1911-ish design is the fact that it still uses 1911 trigger parts which are simple, found everywhere, and time-tested and proven.

The 2011 design that this gun reminds me of requires a different trigger bar to accommodate the wider magazine. This SIG P320 magazine compatibility is also advantageous because SIG P320 magazines are readily available and cost-effective.

Oracle Arms will also be offering their own magazines that will come in around the $35-$40 range.

The 2311 slide comes off without any tools, thanks to a simple engineering that features a linkless barrel and a bushing-free design. Also, note the debris channel on the barrel block.

As mentioned, the 2311 comes in 5 different models, including the Compact with a 4.25″ barrel and 15+1 capacity, Compact Elite with a 4.25″ barrel and 15+1 capacity, Combat with 5″ barrel and 17+1 capacity, Combat elite with 5″ barrel and 17/21+1 capacity, and the Competition with a 5″ barrel and 21+1 capacity.

All models have a 7075 aluminum frame, with the exception of the 17-4 stainless steel frame on the Competition. The grips on all guns are aluminum, except the Compact and combat come with polymer grips.

Price increases from $1,699.00 to $2,999.00 between the Compact and Competition models, respectively.

Specifications as seen on Oracle Arms’ website.

Unique features of the 2311 include a right-side slide stop which makes this gun the first completely ambidextrous double-stack 1911-style platform, as well as patented debris clearance channels in the slide, barrel, and barrel channel in the frame.

Ease-of-use improvements were also added, such as the linkless barrel and bushing-free design. Thanks to this design, takedown is simple and tool-free for takedown and assembly.

    Those pistols are way to expensive to be a new comer to the game.
