The Executive Carry configuration centers on a 4.25 in Commander-length slide with rear cocking serrations only, carry cuts at the nose, and a lowered/eased ejection port. The slide is finished in Ed Brown’s black Gen4 coating over a matte stainless forged frame, delivering a clean two-tone appearance with durable, carry-focused surfaces.
Ergonomics and control features include the Bobtail mainspring housing and frame contour to aid concealment, Ed Brown Chainlink III texturing on the frontstrap and mainspring housing for consistent purchase, and a recessed/countersunk slide stop pin. The pistol wears burl wood Bobtail-cut grip panels, with an extra set of Ed Brown G10 Double Diamond Bobtail grips included.
The fixed sight set combines a red fiber-optic front with a black U-notch rear (.156 in notch) for a bright, fast front sight and a crisp rear reference. The GI-style guide rod and plug maintain traditional 1911 field serviceability.
This single-action, semi-automatic 1911 uses Ed Brown’s long 3-hole trigger and a skeletonized commander-style rowel hammer. Safety features are straightforward and carry-oriented: a single-side thumb safety paired with a beavertail grip safety.
Chambered in 9mm Luger with a single-stack pattern, capacity is 8+1. Two 8-round Ed Brown steel magazines are included. An Ed Brown Letter of Authenticity dated Oct 7, 2024 documents the pistol’s born-on date of Oct 20, 2015 and shipment on Oct 21, 2015 to Austin, Texas, and lists its factory options including square rear serrations, carry cuts, recessed slide stop, GI system, and the FO front/.156 in U-notch rear sight combination.
