There is a lot of history right there. No matter if you love or hate 1911s, you've got to appreciate what he did.
I've always been partial to the Ed Brown style of 1911s, specifically the commander w/ the bob.
God's speed Mr. Brown.
God's speed Mr. Brown.
E. B. Company made some sweet Rifles too.
I drew alot of inspiration from Mr. Brown on this Bob commander. No one did SS like him. He contributed alot and will be missed.
His company makes great stuff. He did tons of work that made the custom 1911 market what it is today.
RIP, He did some amazing things for the firearms market
I’ve put a lot of money in his pocket pushing his stuff. I’m not a 1911 guy, but his bobtail frame is noice
He pioneered a lot of changes but was kind of a jerk in the CS area
I remember Chip McCormick and I talking in the early 1980's about grip safeties and how to get the highest grip and he said "There's a guy named Brown thats come out with one where the hammer actually sits in a groove inside the beavertail."
That beavertail launched Ed Brown's name into the competative shooting circles and the modern 1911.

I've heard that and apparently les baer is even worse. I had a slight issue on a used Evo9 I bought, Ed was nothing but helpful. Sometimes these internet CS tales get blown up or maybe the poor CS was from a customer that started off interaction with a shitty attitude.
lol, talking to Les is always a fun experience.
Saw this yesterday. The man contributed so much to the 1911 over the years and we're all the better for it today. Fair winds and following seas.
