Ed Brown EVO KC9 G4 9mm 4″ 1911 Carry

About this product

The Ed Brown EVO KC9 G4 is the inaugural model in Ed Brown’s Evolution series, optimized to deliver 1911 ergonomics in a compact 9mm package. It retains full 1911 controls and handling characteristics while using a shortened, thinned slide and the Ed Brown Bobtail stainless base to reduce weight. The design includes a bull barrel, external extractor, easy-to-change HD XR front night sight, and a flat wire recoil spring system for refined cycling. This example is hand-built with fully machined components and carries the workmanship standards associated with Ed Brown.
