Ed Brown KC9 G4 VTX | 9mm | 4″ Barrel | Vortex Venom

The Ed Brown KC9 G4 VTX is a single-action, 1911-influenced semi-automatic pistol optimized for the 9mm Luger cartridge. It retains full 1911 controls and handling characteristics while incorporating modern updates such as an external extractor, a thinned 4″ slide with a 7-top custom cut, and a flat wire recoil spring system. This configuration includes a 6 MOA Vortex Venom red dot mounted for rapid target acquisition and precise point of aim.

Recommended optic: the Vortex Venom 6 MOA red dot pairs directly with this handgun and offers a clear sight picture well under typical pistol optic budgets under $1,000.
