Ed Brown EVO-KC9 | 9mm | 4″ Barrel | 2x9rd

The Ed Brown EVO-KC9 is a compact, hand-built 1911-style carry pistol optimized for 9mm Luger with a 4″ barrel and a single-stack Bobtail stainless frame. It retains 100% 1911 controls and handling characteristics while incorporating modern refinements including a thinned 4″ slide, external extractor and a bull barrel. For a robust red-dot option under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform consider a Trijicon RMR or a Holosun compact RDS mounted to a compatible 1911 footprint.

Applications: everyday carry (where legal) and target shooting/competition. The EVO-KC9 is intended for shooters who want full-size 1911 ergonomics in a slightly reduced 9mm package with premium fit and finish.
