CCO LW 9mm

CCO LW 9MM

The Ed Brown CCO LW is the ultimate carry gun. It has the distinction of being the smallest, lightest 1911 that Ed Brown has ever offered.  Built on our new lightweight, aluminum compact (Officer's) size frame and combined with a round butt housing and concealed carry beavertail for maximum concealability. The slide is a Commander (4.25") length for total reliability and offers a longer sight radius. Our unique, directional Snakeskin metal treatment on the frame and slide is ideal for carry and is less aggressive than checkering while maintaining a secure grip. A fixed black rear sight is mated with a high visibility red fiber optic front sight. Includes a heavy slide chamfer, recessed slide stop, carry cuts and a flush barrel with recessed crown, and fully customizable with over 100 options to make it your own. Backed by our Lifetime Warranty and the best customer service in the industry, why choose anyone else for your next carry gun?
