Colt Competition Optics-Ready Handgun 9mm Luger 9rd Magazine 5" Barrel Stainless Finish
Colt
The Bersa M2XI is a modern double-stack 1911 in 9mm that bridges the gap between classic 1911 ergonomics and contemporary defensive shooting. Built on a 416 stainless steel frame and slide, this 5-inch full-size pistol comes ready for optics with a Holosun K-Series cut—no gunsmithing required. If you're splitting time between the range, competition, or duty, the M2XI delivers the accuracy and control expected from a precision 1911 platform without forcing you to choose between iron sights and red dots.
The ergonomics are purpose-built for real shooting. You get an extended beavertail to prevent slide bite, a flared magwell for confident reloads under pressure, and ambidextrous manual safeties so either hand can run the gun safely. The grip is injected polymer for durability and purchase, while the front sight is a tritium night sight and the rear is a standard iron sight that co-witnesses with mounted optics. A full-length Picatinny rail lets you add a light or laser if the mission calls for it.
Capacity spans the practical middle: the included magazines run 18 and 22 rounds respectively, giving you flexibility depending on the scenario. The 5-inch ultra-match bull barrel is built for precision, and at 30 oz unloaded, the M2XI balances pointability with enough steel to manage recoil cleanly. This is a pistol that respects 1911 tradition while acknowledging that shooters today expect modern features—optics compatibility, ambidextrous controls, and double-stack capacity.

The M2XI is cut for Holosun K-Series optics, so any red dot designed for that mounting pattern will fit directly without modification. No gunsmithing needed.
Yes. The M2XI comes equipped with a tritium front night sight and standard iron rear sight that co-witness with optics mounts. You can run iron sights exclusively without ever mounting a red dot.
The pistol includes two magazines: one with an 18-round capacity and one with a 22-round capacity.
The M2XI is single action only (SAO), consistent with traditional 1911 design. The trigger breaks clean once the hammer is cocked.
