Long Frame 2011

The Long Frame 2011 is a specialized variant of the high-performance 2011 pistol, engineered with an extended dust cover to maximize muzzle control and stability. Designed primarily for competitive shooting, particularly in Open Division, these frames provide a distinct advantage by allowing for longer barrels and larger, more effective compensators.

Engineered for Ultimate Control:

  • Extended Dust Cover: Unlike standard 2011 frames, the long frame's steel upper chassis extends further forward. This extended length fully supports barrels typically 6 inches or longer and provides ample room for substantial muzzle compensators, often blending seamlessly with them for a sleek, integrated look.

  • Superior Recoil Mitigation: The increased mass at the front of the pistol, combined with highly efficient compensators, dramatically reduces felt recoil and eliminates muzzle flip. This "flat shooting" characteristic allows for exceptionally fast sight re-acquisition and more precise follow-up shots.

  • Enhanced Stability: The longer frame and barrel provide a more stable platform, improving accuracy during rapid fire and long-range engagements.

These Long Frame 2011s are the backbone of many top-tier "race guns," optimized for speed and control in divisions where such enhancements are permitted. They represent the pinnacle of 2011 performance for competitive advantage.
