Ed Brown Special Forces .45ACP
Boasting custom quality details galore it’s a gun worthy of the elite!
Two years ago I reviewed an Ed Brown Special Forces (SF) 1911, which had ambidextrous thumb safeties without a light rail. This new sample has a rail without the dual safeties while the Special Forces 1911’s excellent core features remain.
This is an improved version since I might need a light or laser attached to my handgun for a bedside home defense situation. While I appreciate being able to disengage the thumb safety with the gun with either hand, I’ve had the usual 1911-style enlarged offside safety wipe off while the gun was holstered enough that I’ve removed them from any of my carry 1911s. (A downsized right-side lever would be acceptable though.) The rail provides one benefit that’s not much discussed, which is reducing muzzle lift due to the increased weight toward the muzzle, allowing quicker follow-up shots.
