Bersa M2XI — New for 2025
August 29, 2025

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.

Alternatives to Consider
- Springfield Armory Prodigy — 2011-style with broad aftermarket; runs higher in price/weight.
- EAA Witness2311 — Value-minded double-stack 1911s; feature sets vary by trim.
- Staccato P — Proven duty/competition pedigree at a premium price; benchmark for the class.
