Looks comparable to a 19x in size
no bushing

external extractor
for a "custom" pistol, it over $1k cheaper than anything else from Ed, and Wilson Combat
no MIM parts, all machined
Introducing the KC9, the first model in the new Evolution series from Ed Brown. The KC9 pays homage to the Kobra Carry, which took the industry by storm nearly 20 years ago, and has now become the iconic standard for a high end custom 1911, with its revolutionary Ed Brown Bobtail®, stainless steel base, and Snakeskin treatment.
Optimized for the 9mm caliber, the KC9 inherits those same characteristics, yet is smaller, thinner, and lighter. The KC9 retains 100% 1911 controls and handling characteristics, and makes use of standard 1911 magazines, and standard 1911 grips with the Ed Brown Bobtail® cut, which are now a standard offering among major grip makers. Some parts were completely re-designed to take advantage of modern improvements such as the new external extractor, easy-to-change front sight, smaller "Tactical Edge" rear sight, fluted bull barrel, and a flat wire recoil spring system. The re-engineered slide has been shortened to 4", thinned substantially for weight reduction, and includes a unique 7-top custom cut, with special front and rear serrations. A recessed slide stop completes the package, making for the perfect custom 9mm 1911.
Completely hand built with fully machined parts, and backed by our Lifetime Warranty, with all the quality you expect from Ed Brown, but with a ground-breaking price tag of only $1895, fully equipped!
Caliber: 9mm
Barrel Length: 4"
Overall Length: 7.500"
Overall Height: 5.350"
Slide Thickness: .860"
Weight: approximately 34 ounces with an unloaded magazine inserted
Capacity 9+1
While Ed Brown staples, like the company's Snakeskin texture treatment and Bobtail design, are incorporated into the new KC9, consumers will notice that this new pistol is more-compact, thinner and lighter than previous designs. That's because the Ed Brown team optimized this 1911-style platform for the 9 mm cartridge rather than shoehorning the 9 mm into a gun designed for the .45 ACP.
The resulting Ed Brown Evolution KC9 preserves standard 1911 controls and even feels similar to the 1911 frame, thanks to the fact that the design allows for the use of standard 1911 grip panels. However, keen-eyed 1911 enthusiasts will note some improvements on the new gun, such as the new external extractor, easily changed front sight, smaller U-notch rear sight complete with a ledge-style front face, bull barrel and a flat-wire recoil spring.
The slide is cut down to an overall length of 4 inches, and excess material has been machined in order to reduce weight on the new platform. Stand-out features on the slide include a multi-faceted custom cut along the top with seven different flats. Specially designed serrations are located at the front and rear of the slide, allowing for maximum manipulation capabilities.
The gun measures 7.5 inches in length, 5.35 inches high and 1.36 inches wide. With an unloaded magazine inserted, the gun weighs 34 ounces. One of the priorities in the production of the new Ed Brown Evolution Series KC9 was to streamline production in order to offer the pistol at an affordable price. To achieve this goal, several custom features, like the recessed crown and recessed slide stop, are included with every gun, and no custom options are offered.
Since each gun is produced in a batch, the Ed Brown team is able to squeeze extra efficiency out of the process, reducing the total cost to the consumer by more than 30 percent. As part of the company's Evolution line, though, different batches of the KC9 will be produced with different features, so enthusiasts can wait until a desirable configuration emerges in the company's line. With this new process in place, the suggested retail price on the Ed Brown Evolution Series KC9 is $1,895.
