Bersa M2XI 2011 pistol new for 2025
Bersa M2XI 2011

Bersa’s first double-stack “2011-style” 9mm brings co-witness sights, a Holosun K-pattern optics cut, and two high-cap mags at a mid-tier price. Good fit for range junkies, USPSA/2-Gun dabblers, and home-defense builders who don’t want to jump straight to premium 2011 money.

Announced mid-August 2025, the Bersa M2XI is a U.S.-made, double-stack 1911 (often called a “2011”) with a 5″ match bull barrel, SAO controls, and a polymer grip module attached to a 416 stainless frame and slide. It’s optics-ready from the factory and includes raised irons that co-witness with common micro dots. If you’ve been pricing 2011s and quietly clutching your wallet, this one aims squarely at the value lane.

What’s New vs. Prior Model

  • First Bersa “2011-style”: Double-stack, metal-frame SAO with polymer grip module—more capacity and competition-friendly ergonomics than Bersa’s single-stack 1911s.
  • Optics-ready, co-witness out of the box: Slide cut for Holosun K-pattern micro dots with raised iron sights to match.
  • Stainless build: 416 stainless slide/frame and 5″ match bull barrel for durability and consistency.

Use Cases

Range & Competition: The flat trigger, flared magwell, and higher-cap mags make it an easy step into USPSA Limited/LEO-style outlaw matches (check local rules). Home Defense: Optics-ready slide and rail simplify a light+dot setup. Enthusiasts: If you want the 2011 experience without flagship pricing, M2XI lands in that “attainable” tier—because your wrists deserve cardio, but your budget still wants groceries.
