The KC9 is the first model in the Evolution series from Ed Brown. It pays homage to the Kobra Carry, which took the industry by storm nearly 20 years ago and has become the iconic standard for a high-end custom 1911, with its revolutionary Ed Brown Bobtail, stainless steel base and Snakeskin treatment.
Optimized for 9mm, the EVO keeps 100% 1911 controls and standard 1911 magazines while re-engineered parts add an external extractor, easy-to-change front sight, bull barrel and flat-wire recoil system. The 4″ slide is thinned for weight reduction and carries the unique 7-top custom cut with special front and rear serrations.
