The Kobra Carry is essentially the Kobra modified for carry. It's the 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!

We have worked with our master engraver to bring you a new example of beautiful hand engraving. Based on our timeless Classic Custom pistol, this pistol represents the ultimate in quality firearm craftsmanship.

In the words of our master engraver....“I was really pleased when Ed Brown Products offered me the chance to express further engraving creativity to share with their customers. For this Exhibition Model, I decided to take the best 1911 made and combine it with the elegance of the classic English ‘rose and scroll’ patterns found on the finest English shotguns and double rifles. The scroll is a departure from my regular style, but when combined with the rose bouquet, it is easily recognized as classic English. To be done correctly, English scroll should be broken up with open areas, and the rose bouquet with the unengraved spaces surrounding it does that nicely. Without those interruptions, the small and intricate English scroll simply becomes a texture, and is not nearly so appealing. The stainless steel Custom Classic platform emulates the ‘French Gray” finish that is used on the finest English and European weaponry. This beautifully displays engraving, but without the danger of rusting that plagues the French Gray finish. I think this Exhibition edition is the most classically elegant 1911 ever.“
