Ed Brown

The famed 1911 specialists at Ed Brown are putting their skills toward making an even better polymer-framed striker-fired pistol with their new MP-F4 Fueled Series pistol.

On it, you can choose between Ed Brown’s traditional stainless steel magazines ($10) and their Black Nitride version ($15).

Ed Brown, one of the best 1911 custom shops in the world, has been tinkering with a new take on the 1911 specifically optimized for 9mm Luger.

Ed Brown this week added a new edition to their lineup of premium 1911s, the Executive Commander.

The new CCO LW is a svelte gun that promises to deliver the accuracy and reliability one expects from old slabside but in a package that is optimized for daily carry. 

I have been writing for over 35 years and until this project I’ve never owned or shot an Ed Brown 1911. When I contacted Ed Brown Products, I requested the Ed Brown Special Forces model, which has been the anchor of their pistols lineup for many years. If their base duty/personal-defense handgun was up to par, the other models would be also. I was not disappointed.

What exactly do you get for the money you’d invest in an Ed Brown 1911? The decision isn’t one you would make on sheer impulse. The Special Forces Carry is one of those rare pistols that is a functional work of art, not because of fancy grips or anything about the finish, but because of the way that all of the pieces come together in a pure union of form and function.
