Oracle Arms 2311 - A 1911 That Takes P320 Mags

Oracle Arms 2311 Pistol: Love Child of a 1911, 2011, and P320

At the 2023 SHOT Show, the Oracle Arms 2311 is getting a ton of attention at the show for how much it stands apart from other handguns there.

Not a big "9mm in a 1911 platform" fan, but I love the fact that they forgot to include the stupid grip safety on this one.

Still waiting for a major player to offer a 1911 with no grip safety at under $1500 or so, in platform correct 45 ACP.

But this offering is interesting, and I've got plenty of P320 mags...

I've been saving up for a Staccato CS (while still trying to wrap my head around the $2499 price!!), so I was interested in this option. Use of a standard, readily-available magazine is genius. The main downside, in my opinion, is that the aesthetics are not that of a 1911. Girsan's Witness series of 2311 models looks much better to my eye - but then you'd have to go with the Staccato type of magazines. I've got some time to continue saving and read range reports on these two lines. Gotta love the developments in the 2011/2311 style of pistols!

While this may not be a pistol that makes it into my collection (especially since I got a Staccato XC for myself for Christmas), I love the innovation in the firearms industry. I actually like the look of this gun BECAUSE it does not just look like another 1911. It seems to be a good mix of Glockish & 1911ish.

It looks very promising and I am excited about it, but not holding my breath. Relatively unknown manufacturer blending technologies. It could easily go the way of the Hudson.

New company with a new untested but interesting concept. Can anymore remember the Hudson H9? Finally, every single one of huh know the correct answer to this question.

Pretty interesting. Time will tell though.

How about a Ballester Molina?

Yes, and the company doesn't even have a working website up yet. I'm interested and hope it is not just vapor ware but I'm doubtful that very many if any of their pistols hit the market this year.
