The OA Defense 2311 Compact Pro Plus delivers enhanced performance through its ported barrel design and optic-ready configuration. This competition-focused pistol combines traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern manufacturing precision and double-stack capacity.
What Makes This Different
The ported 4.25-inch barrel reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil compared to standard compact pistols, enabling faster follow-up shots. The 17-4 stainless steel slide provides superior corrosion resistance while maintaining tight tolerances. Unlike traditional single-stack 1911s, this platform accommodates 17 rounds of 9mm ammunition in a grip size that remains manageable for most shooters.
Key Features
- Ported 4.25-inch barrel with black DLC coating for reduced recoil and enhanced durability
- Optic-ready slide cut accepts popular red dot sight mounting systems
- 17-round capacity double-stack magazine configuration
- 17-4 stainless steel slide construction with black finish
- Ambidextrous controls accommodate both right and left-handed shooters
- Black polymer grip frame reduces overall weight while maintaining strength
- Competition-grade trigger system for consistent shot placement
The ported barrel system vents propellant gases upward to counteract muzzle rise, particularly beneficial during rapid-fire sequences in competitive shooting. The optic-ready slide eliminates the need for custom machining when mounting red dot sights. Weather-resistant DLC coating on the barrel provides protection against moisture and wear during extended use.
