The OA Defense 2311 Pro Elite delivers competition-grade performance in a duty-ready package, combining a ported 5-inch barrel with optic-ready capabilities for enhanced accuracy and faster follow-up shots. This full-size 9mm pistol bridges the gap between 1911 ergonomics and modern striker-fired reliability.
What Makes This Different
The 2311 Pro Elite features a ported DLC-coated barrel that reduces muzzle rise by up to 30% compared to standard barrels, enabling faster target reacquisition. The aluminum frame construction saves 4-6 ounces over traditional steel frames while maintaining structural integrity for +P ammunition. Unlike polymer competitors, the machined aluminum provides consistent lockup and enhanced accuracy potential.
Key Features
- 5-inch ported barrel with DLC coating for reduced friction and corrosion resistance
- Optic-ready slide cut accepts popular red dot sights including RMR and DeltaPoint Pro
- 17+1 standard capacity with optional 21-round extended magazines included
- Ambidextrous controls accommodate both left and right-handed shooters
- Picatinny rail system for tactical lights and laser attachments

- Black aluminum frame with enhanced grip texture for consistent hand placement
The ported barrel system reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip, making rapid follow-up shots more controllable during competitive shooting or defensive scenarios. The DLC coating extends barrel life while maintaining consistent accuracy through extended firing sessions. Weather-resistant finishes protect against moisture and environmental exposure during outdoor use.
