Or... hear me out. You can get a turskit 2011 from Mac/tisas and get a $100 grip from 2amachines that takes p320 mags and you're in it for less than half of this "deal".
The 7075 aluminum frame was always a non starter for these guns anyways.

Does anyone make an aluminum 2011 grip for 320 mags?
Mighty-Bagel-Calves@reddit
Only 320 grip option so far is a modest 3d printed option from a small shop.
I think the sig 211 has an aluminum grip, but not sure.

Possibly one of the ugliest guns made today. What was OA's designer thinking with this one?

To each his own. Lots of people thinks glocks are sexy

So, I've got one of these. Brand new, the disconnector was getting hung up on something, preventing the gun from resetting at least once every couple of mags. Also, every 4th or 5th mag, I'd get failures to feed in the nose up into the top of the chamber variety. By around 200ish rounds the issue had worsened to maybe twice a mag. My original optic plate for my chosen optic also was slightly warped and wouldn't sit flush without herculean force being applied with loctite retaining compound to bed it down.
To their credit, OA fixed the issues after I sent the gun back, and they sent the gun back to me with a collection of goodies including some spare parts, a couple extra mags, and the small magwell in case I wanted to run the gun as a compact. So top marks for customer service.
However, the base issue is indicative of very little fitting on the gun and probably minimal qc before guns go out. In the same vein, the actual fit on the gun itself is very loose, more in line of a historical 1911 gi model rattletrap than a custom/semicustom modern 2011-ish gun. Now, that's not the end of the world for me, but I know there's a certain expectation in 2011 buyers that they're looking for that slick buttery glide-like action and mechanical precision in their guns and this isn't that.
As it stands, the gun functions fine now and has acceptable (not exceptional) mechanical accuracy. The trigger pull is good for a gun, not great for a 1911/2011 gun. Shooting experience is fine not great (safety ergos are a bit weird, grip lacks traction, recoil impulse is nothing to write home about, reliability is there now that it's fixed). While I can't fault the gun as it stands, I really can't recommend it to anyone. It's not stand out in the industry and certainly not stand out for the price. Maybe 10 years ago, but not today.

Im sorry to hear that. I know OA has the best customer service in the game. While I have to say in the few that we have, none of these issue exist. Keep in mind its not supposed to be a 2011 btw, its a duty gun with speed built into the design. I find them to be very good in all of the areas you mentioned. I know they had some issue with the early guns but the stuff coming out of the new factory has been great. It sounds like all these issues have been addressed. I just picked this exact one up and the fit and safety are tight as a ducks a$$. If you are expecting a 2011, this isnt it. I feel like a lot of people that buy OA are expecting 2011. However in feedback from the ones we've sold, everyone that knows what they are all about is more than please. A few have bought more than one.
