Very nice gun! I have only handled a couple of Ed Browns, but both were well made and shot well. Would not mind one like yours in the safe. Or hip, either way.

 

Good Lord! That turned out gorgeous! Congrats.

 

Well Done! Nice.

 

I got one of the last blued guns.
My brother ordered two of them, one for me and one for him, and they told him he just snuck under the wire

 

You have done very well with it. You have very good taste!

 

I’m interested in a railed Special Forces that I might pull the trigger on. This looks spectacular!

 

I thought EB was out of the bluing business

Very nice..who did the refinish? I didn’t think Ed Brown did bluing anymore. It looks incredible.

Yup, EB still blues!

Thing is-past a certain SN range, I believe EB moved to all stainless with their builds. So, you are pretty much stuck with their Gen 4 coating, or God forbid, Cerakote if you don’t want your gun in the white.

I lucked out. As even though my SN was past the carbon steel “cut off date”, the OG build sheet specified that it was indeed, carbon steel. Only thing I’m regretting, is not having requested polishing the flats prior to refinish. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️

 

Roger that, thank you sir. Good to know.

 

Turned out awesome, well done!

 

They do a great blued gun.

 

That, is gorgeous. Sir!

 

Ed Brown started having steel sourcing/supply problems at the very beginning of the Covid crap. I assume they decided on a single, reliable source in the end and said goodbye to carbon steel. Our communist overlords screwed a whole lot of things up for us in their quest for perpetual power. Good riddance!

Gorgeous Special Forces! Blueing that actually looks blue; love it!

 

EB went all stainless around 2010

 

I had my Special Forces updated by Nighthawk and went with a black nitride finish to make it more durable as a truck gun. Love it.

 

That's pretty! I love black nitride for looks. Tough finish to beat for abuse and neglect hahaha!
This is my blued Ed Brown with elephant brought to you by SK Grips.

 

Looks great!

 

I have my invoice from 21. I will snap a photo when I get home today

 

I'm not doubting you at all. I'm jealous I missed out actually. I started trying in 2012 to get another satin blue carbon gun from EB. Was told repeatedly they had gone to all stainless production since 2010 and didnt foresee that ever changing. I missed that it was ever on the web build page, so its back to forums and GB to find one I guess.

 

Very nice, looks great!

 

Nice blaster!

 

Ed Brown manufactured some of the best 1911's ever. I have an Ed Brown customized Colt Commander XSE. Smooth as silk, super reliable and accurate. My favorite EDC

 

Love the finish, beautiful!

 

Love mine!

 

That Bronze came out nice, man!

 

Nice! I love those grips

 

Always seemed silly to me that you didnt have one.

I think we all do my Brother!

yeah yeah yeah. I know. 🤣

Ive been waiting for the right used one to show up.

 

tough to beat.
