Ed Brown Kobra Carry 1911 .45 ACP 4.25" Stainless

The Ed Brown Kobra Carry: Compact Reliability Meets Conceal Carry Practicality

The Kobra Carry represents Ed Brown's answer to shooters who demand a smaller 1911 without compromising the legendary reliability of the full-size platform. This is a purpose-built concealed carry pistol that doesn't ask you to sacrifice performance for portability.

Design Innovation

Compact Dimensions, Full Capability

• 4.25" barrel—the minimum practical length that preserves the 1911's inherent reliability
• Bobtail frame design reduces the grip's profile under clothing while maintaining full-size magazine capacity
• Weighs approximately 35 ounces, making it manageable for all-day carry

Snakeskin Grip Treatment Unique to the Kobra series, the directional Snakeskin pattern covers the forestrap, Bobtail housing, and slide. The pattern is smooth when you draw the pistol upward but provides aggressive bite when you press downward—exactly where you need control during firing.

Sights and Controls

• Fixed black rear sight paired with an orange fiber optic front sight for rapid target acquisition
• Single-side thumb safety for right-hand carry
• Recessed slide stop and flush barrel with recessed crown for snag-free carry

Finish and Construction

• Matte stainless steel slide and frame resist corrosion and reduce glint
• Heavy chamfering on edges prevents snagging during the draw
• Laminate wood grips provide classic aesthetics and reliable grip texture

The Kobra Carry is built for shooters who understand that concealed carry demands a pistol that works every single time, without compromise.
