Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this HIGH-QUALITY semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction; this is the Ed Brown Kobra!
What truly sets the Ed Brown Kobra apart is its unique Snakeskin metal treatment. This isn’t mere engraving or traditional slide checkering—it’s a specially applied, directional pattern etched into the metal. The texture is purposely smooth when you slide your hand upward, but bites in to provide a snug, secure grip when you pull down. It strikes a thoughtful balance between tactile function and refined aesthetics, offering better tactile feedback than checkering and delivering a stylish finish that’s often imitated—but never duplicated.
According to the owner, this example is in NEW OLD STOCK condition, and we see no evidence to indicate otherwise!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ed Brown Kobra is a full-size 1911 pistol built with a 5-inch barrel, designed to showcase both precision craftsmanship and functional elegance. Like all Ed Brown firearms, it is hand-fitted by a single gunsmith, ensuring exacting tolerances and a smooth, reliable action. The Kobra carries forward the heritage of the 1911 with enhancements that make it a modern fighting pistol, including Ed Brown’s attention to detail in machining, finishing, and overall fit. Its full-size frame and slide allow for excellent balance and natural pointability, making it a highly accurate platform for defensive or range use. The defining feature of the Kobra is the exclusive Snakeskin metal treatment. Unlike traditional checkering, Snakeskin is a directional texture applied to the forestrap, mainspring housing, and slide. It provides a smooth feel when the hand moves upward but grips firmly when pressure is applied downward, giving the shooter a secure hold without the abrasion often associated with aggressive checkering. This treatment not only adds a striking visual identity to the pistol but also enhances function, creating a uniquely refined yet practical grip surface. Beyond aesthetics, the Kobra embodies the qualities expected from a premier 1911. It features match-grade components throughout, a crisp and predictable trigger pull, and robust construction for long-term durability. Shooters often remark on its intuitive handling and exceptional accuracy, qualities that are amplified by the thoughtful ergonomics and flawless execution of design. The Ed Brown Kobra remains a benchmark among custom-grade 1911s, blending performance, innovation, and artistry in a full-size pistol meant to serve as both a serious defensive tool and a collector-worthy piece.
