They also feature lightening-cut slides, ambidextrous thumb safeties and auto firing pin-block safeties. That last detail also means that they were able to delete the grip safety. They have a capacity of 17 rounds with their standard flush-fit magazines and sport low-profile magwells.Chase Duffey, Director of Sales at EAA Corp, said this about the new models:Based on the feedback we received, we’re now producing our entire Witness2311 line with the CMX and CMXX aggressive grip texturing instead of the traditional checkering … And while we’re stepping away from tradition, we also removed the grip…

President Donald Trump on Friday evening announced the most aggressive U.S. action to date aimed at easing concerns over global oil supply and getting shipping moving in the vital Strait of Hormuz. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said that at his direction, Central Command “executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island.” The president said he refrained from wiping out the oil infrastructure on the island, but warned, “should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.”Details of exactly what happened on Kharg Island remain unclear but the military gambit outlined by Trump appears to come, at least in part, in response to an earlier statement from Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader, saying that the Islamic Republic would seek to keep the Strait of Hormuz blocked.Mojtaba Khamenei made the defiant order in a written statement that was read out on Iranian state television. He has yet to be seen in public since being elevated to his current role after his father, Ayatollah…
