The Snakeskin serrations on the mainspring and fronstrap help anchor the gun in your hand, and the Bobtail cut makes the gun more concealable. The KC9 has a larger pivoting external extractor. The front and rear cocking serrations are both angled forward and in at the top. The slide does not have a round top, but several angled flats shave weight and add style. That 0.05 inch may not seem like much, but you can see it and feel it. Most full-size 1911 slides run about 0.91 inch. That fat barrel sits inside a slide that has been thinned to 0.86 inch. Unlike most 9mm 1911 barrels these days, it is not ramped, but that did not affect reliability or feeding at all. It has a very aggressively angled crown cut. The four-inch match-grade Ed Brown bull barrel is stainless steel with fluting. The cocking serrations angle forward and in at the top.

The Tactical Edge rear sight has a vertical face in front so you can rack the pistol one-handed. This 9+1 capacity 9mm 1911 sports a four-inch barrel, a slide that has been thinned for weight reduction and concealability, night sights and a lightweight aluminum Bobtail frame. Unlike the original all-steel full-size 1911, the KC9 LW is optimized for concealed carry. The Ed Brown KC9 LW is perhaps the best example of how the design has evolved and improved in the last 110 years while still remaining a true 1911. You know what they wouldnвЂ™t believe? That the most popular American pistol design in the year 2020 would still be the 1911.

If you had asked people living in 1930 what kind of technology theyвЂ™d see in the 2020s, the first thing youвЂ™d hear is вЂњflying cars.вЂќ Once you explained them, these folks would also likely believe microwaves, the internet and smartphones.
