The KC9-LW is engineered with a lightweight aluminum frame, tipping the scales at just 27 oz, making it an ideal choice for concealed carry. This model features a Bobtail housing for a streamlined profile, enhanced by a Snakeskin treatment that provides just the right amount of grip while ensuring a snag-free experience. The slide has been expertly shortened to 4 inches and significantly thinned for weight reduction, maintaining the pistol's agility without compromising performance. It showcases our unique 7-top custom slide cut, complemented by special front and rear serrations that offer a tactile surface for improved handling. Optimized for 9mm, the KC9-LW retains 100% of the classic 1911 controls and handling characteristics. It includes an external extractor, an easy-to-change front sight and a smaller Tactical Edge rear sight for enhanced accuracy. The fluted bull barrel and flat wire recoil spring system contribute to its reliability and performance. Each KC9-LW is completely hand-built with fully machined parts, ensuring the quality you expect from Ed Brown. Backed by our Lifetime Warranty, this pistol is a testament to craftsmanship and precision, providing you with a dependable and stylish option for concealed carry.
