Kobra Carry 25th Anniversary

KOBRA CARRY 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Ed Brown Products celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Kobra Carry: the most popular, longest running, custom 1911 of all time. First released in the year 2000, the Kobra Carry was the first custom 1911 to include the Ed Brown Bobtail®, Ed Brown Snakeskin treatment, and to be available in all stainless.

They say imitation is the best form of flattery, and it shows, as Ed Brown's Kobra Carry has been mimicked in some form by just about every 1911 manufacturer in existence, large and small. Despite this, nothing comes close to the original, and the Kobra Carry continues to be our #1 best seller for 25 years in a row.

The 25th anniversary edition is available to order for one year only, and no more orders will be taken for this limited edition after December 31, 2025.

California Kobra Carry rigtht side

California Kobra Carry

The Kobra Carry is the perfect solution for those who prefer a smaller model 1911, but insist on complete reliability. The slide has been reduced to the minimum possible (4.25") without significantly impairing the legendary reliability of the 5" slide. The frame has been modified with the innovative Ed Brown Bobtail® housing which reduces the projecting butt of the mainspring housing without sacrificing the full size frame and magazine capacity. The Bobtail® minimizes the print under your jacket when carrying and reduces weight. Officer's frames reduce magazine capacity and limit grip, while keeping the projecting, sharp butt. Slides shorter than 4.25" are notorious for reduced reliability. These problems are eliminated with the Ed Brown Commander Bobtail® configuration, which reflects the genius of John Browning with an innovative modern flair. The functional simplicity has yet to be matched. Unique with the Kobra series pistols is the innovative snakeskin treatment. It is a directional pattern, meaning it is smooth to slide your hand up, but bites in for a snug grip the other way where you need it. It's easier on the hands than checkering, and our female customers in particular can't stop bragging about it. Not to mention it just looks cool! The Kobra Carry is an innovative masterpiece, and a serious tool for those who want something a little different. We are sure you'll be charmed by the Kobra Carry!

Is the KC9 California approved?

The most common question we received about the new EVO series KC9 was, “is it CA approved?”. The simple answer is no, it is not, and will not appear on the CA roster.

However, the KC9 upper is available as a “retro” option. This means you can have the KC9 upper installed on your CA Ed Brown Kobra Carry, which will transform your gun into a KC9. You can even swap back to your 45 ACP upper easily, effectively having a dual caliber pistol.

The only requirement is that you own a CA approved Ed Brown Kobra Carry, and you are willing to send it back to us under our Basic Service Package, to get the EVO KC9 upper installed. The firearm can then be shipped directly back to your home.
