By David Hoang “Johnny Winn” ( Founder, Lead Creator )

At GOALS 2025 in Knoxville, TN, we sat down with the crew at EAA Corp for an in-depth look at their 2311 Match X pistol — a platform that’s been generating a lot of buzz for its performance and value.

Together, we explored everything from the eye-catching fake pearl grips to the industry nuance behind why only Staccato can officially use the term “2011.” The EAA team walked us through their design philosophy, target audience, and how the 2311 Match X fits into the modern competitive and enthusiast landscape.

Whether you’re a competitor, a collector, or someone who loves diving deep into gun culture, this breakdown gives you the inside scoop straight from the source.
