Technical
Historically, the Achilles heel of a finely-tuned 1911 platform was the tendency to jam or malfunction if dirt or debris got trapped between the moving components of the action. In order to combat this vulnerability, Oracle Arms has engineered patent-pending grooves into key areas of the action and the frame. The location and orientation of these grooves allows the OA 2311 to self-evacuate dirt and debris, reducing the chance of it getting lodged in the action and causing a malfunction.
Select parts and components will be available for sale through our custom shop beginning some time in 2024. Repairs and service work will need to be performed by a certified OA 2311 gunsmith in order to maintain coverage under the Limited Lifetime Warranty. Details on the warranty can be found in the OA 2311 Owner Safety Manual.
