Ed Brown Kobra Carry 45 ACP 4.25 Inch Stainless Pistol

The Ed Brown Kobra Carry in 45 ACP combines a compact 4.25″ slide with the reliability associated with full-size 1911 designs. The slide length has been reduced to the minimum practical dimension while maintaining the legendary dependability of the standard 5″ slide. The frame incorporates Ed Brown’s innovative Bobtail housing, which minimizes the projection of the mainspring housing while preserving both the full-size frame and standard magazine capacity. This Bobtail design reduces the pistol’s profile under concealment and lowers overall weight. The snakeskin treatment on the Kobra Carry is directional—smooth when drawing your hand upward but providing positive grip texture when drawing downward, where control matters most. This surface treatment is gentler on the hands than traditional checkering. The Kobra Carry delivers functional simplicity in a compact package for those seeking a specialized carry platform.
