Ed Brown Kobra Carry | .45 ACP | 4.25 in

The Ed Brown Kobra Carry is a compact, single-action 1911 designed for reliable performance in a smaller footprint. It retains full-size 1911 ergonomics while reducing slide length to 4.25 inches and adding the Ed Brown bobtail for reduced printing and improved concealability. The directional snakeskin treatment on the fore strap and slide provides a secure purchase without the harshness of traditional checkering. Consider pairing this pistol with a compact red-dot such as the Holosun 507K for a durable, sub-$1000 optic that maintains holster compatibility.

Applications: everyday concealed carry and recreational target shooting.
