An Officer sized 2311 style?

Girsan Witness2311 Brat - EAA Corp.

The Girsan Witness2311 Brat is a compact, double-stack 1911 with a 3.4” barrel, ideal for concealed carry. Bring the extra capacity with the brat

Why would a gun have “limited lifetime warranty”. ?

Why would a gun have “limited lifetime warranty”. ?

Maybe because some people be idiots?

Because their 2311's are a POS.
Have one and it's the biggest POS gun I currently own.
Have 5 high capacity 1911 platform guns. The Girsan Witness 2311, very abrasive in feel and operation. Not well put together. Feels like cheap, molded Chinese plastic.
Only redeeming thing is it uses Staccato/Prodigy magazines and uses a Holosun K footprint without a plate.
Mine can't with a Derry RDS.

I prefer to call them jellyfish.

Because the only hope some people have is that jellyfish have survived millions of years without a brain.

You mean in general or just the one’s who buy Girsans? Asking for a friend.

No, I would be more inclined to say there are many more than Girsan owners.

In fact i would not say they are because of buying a Girsan. Most Girsan owners I know are very happy with them, including some of our members if I remember correctly.

That pistol be lookin kinda weird with that big ole grip and short barrel. Kinda like if the jolly green giant was hung like mickey Mouse.

I've always thought all Officers models look a bit wonkey. But they do conceal nicer. Not sure if this one would or not.

My Girsan commander works fine, but that’s just from an idiots point of view…

That thing is just ugly.
My experience with snubby 1911s is that they need a lot of tweaking to work right. Don't believe I've ever seen one that was good right outta the box.
I happen to own two Girsans. But both are Hi-Power clones. I've been very happy with them.

If I was going this route it would be a Bul SAS II Ultralight.

 

[Recusant]

I’ll stick with my Colt Combat Commander! It’s fairly idiot proof.

I owned a Kimber tactical Ultra II with 3" BBL. in .45 ACP. Put a lot of rounds down range and only had 3 malfunctions in first 300 rounds and none after that. It was very accurate also.

I will never understand the full size grip, short slide pistols. The butt is the hard part to hide. And in the 1911 platform, you get much shorter than the Commander and they have a questionable rep. Coned barrels helped. But still, I don't get it. A Commander top end on an Officers frame...that makes sense, as the butt is shorter. Had a Kimber like that. But I don't like full length guide rods and coned barrels just don't point right for me.

 

[youngolddude]

Nope. I do have a Girsan HP clone that I like. The Brat has too many features I don't like, but I wish you well if you like it.

I haven’t read the warranty, but I’m comfortable if they don’t want to fix a gun someone used as a hammer…

I think Killerford secretly owns at least one.
