Girsan Witness 2311 Match X - Staccato XC On A Budget But Does It Work?

Why Pay More?
MSRP $1,149
Compare to $5,000

:thinking:

Once the 2011 patent was released there are plenty options, sometimes better than Staccato.

It’s questionable when we think about SD handgun, but range shooter or competition… Staccato is not a first choice anymore and it’s overpriced.

The ā€œhitchā€ he was talking about is probably the disconnector spring is set too tight on the one he is testing. Reducing the disconnector tension should also bring the trigger pull weight down as well.

Loose trigger? :thinking:
It just became a $500 gun at that point

Setting the trigger up in 2011 is super easy and can be done without any tools.
Adjusting leaf spring you can adjust trigger pull and make it breaks crisply.
That’s why you have to pay at least $1,000.00 for 2011 handgun :upside_down_face:

I would like to see how these are built and fitted.
Sounds like they need some more time/effort in making it a better pistol.

Girsan is a decent Turkish Company.
I like their 1911 pistols. Even these are not perfect, they always work. It’s like RIA 1911.
Also their Beretta 92 clone was a good product.

I’m not sure about their 2311. It is not listed on Girsan Turhish website.. meaning this model might be manufactured in USA only.

ā€œ2011ā€ models require precision and good quality control. That’s how Staccato made a big money.
These days there are good ā€œ2011ā€ models made by others, but also a lot of cheapo stuff, which doesn’t work as good and reliably as this model was designed.
Good example was SA Prodigy announced too fast, before made it a good handgun.
There are no shortcuts producing good 2011… you can do a lot cheap components for 1911 and your pistol will still be OK, but it doesn’t work for 2011 design.

But I like the fact that more and more Companies are making their versions of 2011 design. This keeps this business more competitive and we, the end users, have more options we can choose from.
