This article will give an overview of the three most famous Ed Brown guns included in the evolution series.
Ed Brown Inc., the firearm company began it’s manufacturing journey about 50 years ago as a one-man shop. The founder, Mr. Ed Brown had combined skills of competitive shooting, gunsmithing, CAD/CAM designing and die and toolmaker. He first started as a gunsmith but was not happy with the low-quality 1911 parts he had to deal with. So, he quit that job and began his own manufacturing business of 1911 firearm parts. Later, his sons joined him in manufacturing, that turned out to be another turning point for Ed Brown Inc. They invested in R&D and started to design and develop a complete line of Ed Brown firearms.
Today, the company is among the leading manufacturers of custom 1911 firearms. The Brown family takes part in the supervision of manufacturing of every type of product. Unlike other firearm manufacturers who tend to outsource in an attempt to get cheap labor and low-quality components. Ed Brown specializes in manufacturing high-quality firearm, handcrafted and engineered in its state-of-the-art facility. Here is an overview of the three most famous Ed Brown firearms available at Schminter Guns.
Ed Brown EVO KC9
EVO KC9 is the first addition in the Ed Brown evolution series. It is more like an updated version of Cobra Carry which became quite famous 20 years back. This firearm offers the same characteristics with a combination of some high-end features Ed Brown is famous for. Such as an Ed Brown Bobtail with snakeskin treatment, Bobtail housing, and stainless-steel base.
The firearm is fully optimized for 9mm, but it is thinner and lightweight as compared to the Cobra Carry. Also, it makes use of traditional 1911 magazines and controls so there is no need to develop new muscle memory.
Few parts of this pistol are completely redeveloped in order to incorporate modern technology. For example, a shortened 4″ stainless steel slide, a front slide which is easy to change and modified external extractor.
It’s a custom handmade 1911 firearm with exceptional quality and comes with a lifetime warranty!
Ed Brown EVO CCO9
Following the continuous success of Ed Brown evolution series, the company made another addition in the form of EVO CC09. This is the thinnest, smallest and most lightweight 1911 firearm they have ever developed. CC09 is 5” in height and 7.5” in length and weighs only 27 oz. The frame used for manufacturing is aluminum compact (officer’s) frame which has helped in significant weight reduction without forgoing quality. Also optimized for 9mm and perfect for daily carry.

Ed Brown KC9 G4
KC9 G4 is also inspired by a commander-sized Cobra Cary gen 4 and a part of Ed Brown evolution series.
