Why no light rail on Ed Brown 1911's??

[X-Ring]

I am wondering why Ed Brown has not put a light rail option on their 1911s. I understand the tradionalist view that it detracts from the overall look, however, why not put the option out there for those like me that are interested in carrying an Ed Brown but don't due to the fact that a light rail option is not offered. I say this because I am a police officer and I currently carry a Kimber TLE w/ light rail and a Surefire X-200 attached to it. For me a light rail is an important feature to have being that my gun is also an important tool and doing building searches with a light on the gun is important,

thanks for any input!

Both Colt and Les Baer offer no rails as well. I guess it's a personal choice, all comes down to profit.........my guess is they don't see a profit in them.

But one can always have a rail added.

Thunder Ranch Home Defense .. I kind of like the looks of this one though i don't care for a Rail or light on a 1911 normally

That is one small rail, must be why I missed it.

To each his own on this "light rail" stuff but for me I prefer not to have a light on my gun. I much prefer that the bad guy be back lighted with me in the dark and no light giving away my exact position. It would be interesting to know why Brown has not offered this option.

Best,
Don

Ed thinks the same way I do about it, His 1911 pistols are not built with the latest gizmos, why? they are not needed, Ed is one of the only ones left that builds a no nonsence 1911 that would make Mr. John Moses Browning proud, and not toss and turn and scratch his head in his grave....... :o
