Ed Brown SOCOM Edition 1911 Reports For Duty

Ed-Brown-SOCOM

Built as a combat-ready custom 1911, the Ed Brown SOCOM edition runs long on tactically practical features.

What the Ed Brown SOCOM Has To Offer:

  • 5″ Government model slide
  • Single stack government model frame with integral light rail
  • Chainlink III treatment on forestrap and mainspring housing
  • Traditional “square cut” American flag cocking serrations on rear
  • FDE (Flat Dark Earth) Gen4 on frame, the rest in black Gen4
  • Black Nitride finished Suppressor ready barrel
  • Trijicon SOCOM Coyote Brown RMR sight 3.25 MOA with tall night sights
  • VZ Alien Grips

It’s always a treat to see what Ed Brown cooks up. Running long on customization and features, the gunmaker's latest 1911 is no different. A tribute to U.S. Special Operation Command, the special edition SOCOM is made to excel in the harshest conditions. Though it’s such a slick looker, it’d be a shame to put a scratch on it.

Hand built, the 1911 has a few features worth particular note. Key among these is it's not only optics ready, with a milled slide, but comes decked out with a Trijicon RMR sight. Furthermore, the .45 ACP pistol has suppressor-ready iron night sights, which not only makes it simple to shoot with a can out of the box but also serves as a backup if the optic goes out. A few other points on the Ed Brown SOCOM: Government sized, accessory rail, threaded barrel, one-piece magwell, Chainlink III treatment on the front strap and mainspring housing and American flag cocking serrations.

The gunmaker doesn’t exactly give guns away, particularly ones as long on extras as the SOCOM. So plan on scrapping up your spare change, Ed Brown put a $4,295 MSRP on the 1911.
