One of the great things about being involved in the firearms market is that you have so many options when buying a weapon. You have choices of type of firearm, caliber, color, and that’s apart from all of the aftermarket options which are available for many weapons.
Having said that, when it comes to concealed carry weapons and other weapons where a small design is desired, size, design, and weight are huge considerations, along with stopping power. With that in mind, Ed Brown has made available a new 1911. A writer going by the name of Hrachya H gives us the details:
Ed Brown has announced that their new EVO-CCO9 Lightweight 1911 pistol is now available. As the company states, this pistol is their “smallest, thinnest and lightest 1911 to date!“. Particularly, it is 7.5″ long 5″ high, has a slide width of .860” and weighs 27 oz with an inserted empty magazine. According to Ed Brown: “The slide is shortened to 4″ and thinned substantially for weight reduction“. The standard, GI 1911 slide width is about .91″ – .92”.
The EVO-CCO9 Lightweight is a 9mm handgun built on the company’s aluminum single stack compact (Officer’s) frame. The gun is designed for the concealed carry market and it’s described by the company as “the ultimate carry gun“. The pistol features a round butt mainspring housing, concealed carry grip safety, and slimline grips which make it easier to conceal.
The EVO-CCO9 Lightweight pistol also features an external extractor, removable front sight (orange Trijicon HDXR sight), ledge style U-notch rear sight, fluted 4″ bull barrel, and a flat wire recoil spring. The slide serrations have quite a simple yet unique design. The minimalistic front serrations make the gun look even better by adding a touch of a modern look to the classic 1911 lines. The front strap and mainspring housing feature scale style pattern that Ed Brown calls Snakeskin treatment. All of the controls are typical standard 1911 controls. All the parts of these pistols are machined and the guns are hand built.
The Ed Brown EVO-CCO9 lightweight pistol is listed on the company’s website with a price tag of $2,295. It is covered by Ed Brown’s lifetime warranty.
If you’re in the market for a 1911 for concealed carry purposes, the CC09 may be one to to put on your list of firearms to check out.
I am really not into these very expensive handguns. and the companies that make them would sell more if they made the price more realistic. I would pass this one up. look for a Glock 30s, or maybe a Armscor ( RIA).but that is just me.
And me, too. Being a woman, I have less interest in massive (e.g. impressive size or any ornaments) and much more interest in how accurate it is, how it fits my hand (I shoot left handed), how exhausting it is to cope with the recoil, and ease of withdraw from the holster. I wish there were light weight guns but shooting real bullets designed for women and were recoil-less! and easy to clean. ai it had an accurate lazer sight, that would be nice, too.
I was trained on rifles from all positions except upside down. I might have been accurate upside down and strong enough when I was young. I, however, am no longer young.
I have never heard or seen such an ideal weapon. I am waiting.
Hugs.
I have a real 1911 nothing compares to it Ever
I would love to give this gun a try compared to the nighthawk 1911, ever need a tester let me know, have my own private range, just can’t be buying expensive guns on disability, but I am an expert
EXACTLY CORRECT
Where is your range at looking for one
To me, 1911 and concealed carry are mutually exclusive. And on my current budget, $2300 and pistol are also mutually exclusive! Quite happy with my $600 Walther ppq m2 sc and my $450 glock.
I want one
They make these pistols for around $250.00 tops and sell them for a two thousand profit… I myself would take an old model 1911 45 caliber any day!!!
I get where your coming from but ed brown products are hand fitted to perfection by perfessional smiths in the USA not some 3rd world factory workers.
You buy the name to wow others.
Nice! But—I’ll give you $4 hundred!

It’s not a .45 so not much else to say, just personally can’t stand 9mm’s.

a very expensive gun, that if used to defend yourself, would wind up in the property dept of the police for a very long time. and there are far more less expensive choices out there that work real good and will defend you well when needed.
