An Ed Brown Sheriff Jim Wilson Special for your viewing pleasure..... Years ago--2007 iirc--Ed Brown built a limited number of Government models to
specs provided by Jim Wilson: a Country Musician, an LEO with a long and distinguished career, as well as a well-known author in the firearms industry. I would have
carried this pistol years ago had I ordered it with an Ambi-Safety. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to sending it back. I must admit though: it looks pretty nice
just as it is. Enjoy.

Pretty. Do you know how many they made?

I wish I did. I should find out. I wonder if they started them at Serial Number 2000. Here's a link to the pistol on Ed Brown's site.

Phenomenal pistol

 

[Choc. Lab]

Wow!! That is nice.

 

[357MAGNOLE]

Ivory grips?

 

[tas6691]

Ivory grips?

Per EB's historical page on that gun

Tru-Ivory smooth grips, slightly aged. Jim's personal favorite, which pay tribute to the history of great lawmen who served along the Mexican border.

That is a true beaut!

Simple and elegant. Truly stunning. Not my cup 'o tea with the arched MSH and no magwell, but WOW - it is beautiful.

Thanks for all the nice posts. Per the number made, I contacted Ed Brown through their contact form on their website and received
following prompt reply:

"Hello William,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Sorry, we don't have the exact number, but it was between 75-100.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Kind regards"

Pretty. Do you know how many they made?

 

[Flattrack53]

That’s pretty cool. I figured it was a very limited run.

Tru-Ivory grips were also used on the Ed Brown Centennial models. At one of the SHOT Shows about 6 years ago, I ran into Sheriff Jim at the Nighthawk booth, where he was touting the Sheriff Jim Wilson Border Special. I jokingly whispered to him, "Do these folks know your name is on an Ed Brown 1911?" He laughed and said the Nighthawk folks came up with the Border Special name, when they realized, they didn't want the name "Wilson" stamped on a Nighthawk.

 

[Flattrack53]

That’s funny but I totally get it from nighthawks perspective

I remember when they came out and I was thinking it was sort of a bold move to "Wilson" on an Ed Brown.
