Ed Brown Products

Ed Brown Products manufactures custom 1911 and EVO series handguns from their facility in Perry, Missouri. Every firearm is hand-fitted and tested before leaving the factory. The company stands behind their work with a legal written limited lifetime warranty—a guarantee that sets them apart from other premium manufacturers.

Unlike mass-produced firearms, Ed Brown builds emphasize precision and longevity. The company uses:

• •Quality materials: All parts manufactured to exacting specifications
• •Hand-fitting: Critical components fitted by hand, not stamped production runs
• •Factory testing: Every gun tested before shipment
• •Lifetime warranty: Legal written coverage on all firearms, not just marketing talk

"We are the only high end 1911 manufacturer to our knowledge who offers a legal written lifetime warranty on firearms. Anyone can claim their service is the best, but to put it in writing in a legal warranty is something Ed Brown Products does, and the others avoid."

Ed Brown partners with craftsmen to hand-make custom holsters for every gun they produce. Each holster receives meticulous attention:

• •Veg-tanned cowhide with shark skin trim
• •Hand-boned detail molded precisely to each firearm model
• •Beveled and burnished edges sealed against moisture and wear
• •15-degree forward cant for faster, easier draw
• •Molded sight track for smooth presentation
• •Made in the USA

The veg-tanned leather can be properly molded without salt that corrodes gun finishes. Combined with the shark trim and sealed edges, these holsters are built to outlast the shooter.

Ed Brown handles service directly, whether you own one of their pistols or bought used:

• •Basic Service Package: Affordable factory service with heavily discounted return shipping

Ed Brown provides comprehensive owner support including detailed video disassembly guides, maintenance tutorials, and their own firearms lubricant. The company is transparent about specifications: trigger pull, accuracy expectations (50-yard capabilities by model), reliability data, and ammunition recommendations.

All firearms are tested with standard-velocity factory specification ammunition. No MIM (metal injection molded) parts are used. Fixed sights are precision-set with documented point of aim. The company answers technical questions directly—from guide rod function to the difference between 70 and 80 series platforms.

Whether you're buying new, trading up, or servicing a decades-old Ed Brown, factory support is direct and straightforward.
