The original 1911 handgun was the first semi-auto pistol adopted by the U.S. Army as a service weapon. During testing, it proved itself exceptionally reliable, shooting 6000 rounds without a single misfire. And originally chambered for the new (at the time) .45 ACP cartridge, it had incredible stopping power. Over 100 years later, this remains one of the most popular civilian firearms.
Double-stack 1911s and 2011 pistols retain that same industry-leading performance but with much larger magazine capacities, ensuring you can shoot more rounds before needing to reload. For convenience, timed competitions, and life-or-death scenarios, those extra rounds are critical. Shop our collection of 1911-style pistols today.

Technically, the 2011 is just a double-stack 1911 built by Staccato, who trademarked the term. However, it is often used to describe any 1911 with a double-stack mag and a modular grip assembly.
Because single-stack magazines require less feed pressure, produce less friction on rounds, and are less likely to experience "drop jumble" that misalign rounds, they're more reliable than double-stack magazines; they don't jam as often. However, double-stack magazines can hold more rounds than their single-stack counterparts, which means you don't need to reload as often.
Unfortunately, when you order a gun online, you have to send it to a consenting local FFL dealer in an FFL transfer. After it arrives, you can pick it up from them.
