Ed Brown Products, 1911, parts, rifles
Wilson Combat Makers Of The Finest Custom 1911 Handguns In The World
Kimber - 1911 Pistols & Rifles
Ed Brown, Wilson Combat & Kimber are all very good. The Kimber variants are the best value and available at most shops with out waiting, they are great out of the box accuracy weapons with great finishes.
The Ed Brown Kobra carry is the the nicest short frame model I have every handled. It would be my #1 draft pick if I had to carry every day.
They are all top notch. I am sure their are others I am not familiar with.
The Colts are great for a used option.
