Ed Brown EVO KC9 G4 9mm 4″ 1911 Carry

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.
