The Champion Molon Labe 1911 is a limited-edition custom 1911 built by Ed Brown Products
in collaboration with Dave Champion. Designed for concealed carry, home defense, and serious training, this full-size Government model 1911 combines proven combat performance with premium custom features.

Built to Dave Champion’s personal specifications, the Champion Molon Labe 1911 reflects more than 30 years of firearms training and real-world experience. Dave Champion is a former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger, certified law enforcement firearms instructor, and longtime advocate of the 1911 platform. Over the years, he has trained military personnel, law enforcement officers, and civilian shooters across the country.

Purpose-Built Fighting 1911

The Champion Molon Labe 1911 is built as a serious defensive handgun. Every feature was selected for reliability, durability, and fast handling under demanding conditions.

This custom 1911 features:

• A full-size 5-inch Government model slide
• Hand-fit construction by master pistolsmiths
• Front and rear cocking serrations
• Ed Brown snakeskin treatment for a secure grip
• Tritium front night sight for low-light shooting
• 10-8 Performance rear sight with wide notch for faster sight acquisition
• Solid aluminum trigger
• High-rise beavertail grip safety with memory groove
• Ed Brown Maxi-Well magazine funnel for faster reloads
• Optional ambidextrous safety
• Durable Gen III black finish for wear resistance

As a result, the pistol delivers outstanding control, fast target acquisition, and dependable performance for carry, training, and defensive use.

Built for Reliability and Control

The snakeskin texturing on the front strap and mainspring housing provides a secure grip without being overly aggressive during extended shooting sessions. In addition, the wide-notch rear sight helps shooters quickly acquire the front sight during close-range defensive shooting.

The tritium front sight improves visibility in low-light conditions while keeping the sight picture simple and uncluttered. Because only the front sight is illuminated, shooters can focus on rapid front sight acquisition during high-stress situations.

Custom Molon Labe Engraving

The left side of the slide features the famous Greek phrase “Molon Labe” laser engraved in Greek lettering. Traditionally translated as “Come and Take Them,” the phrase traces back to the Battle of Thermopylae and symbolizes defiance and determination.

The right side of the slide includes Dave Champion’s signature engraving beneath the ejection port, making this pistol a distinctive collector and defensive firearm.

Whether used for concealed carry, firearms training, or home defense, the Champion Molon Labe 1911 delivers the trusted performance of a handcrafted custom 1911 built for real-world use.
