I just picked my new baby up from a buddy of mine on Saturday. It was unfired in new condition (had couple hundred rounds through it 3 hours later). Love the gun. It has a very similar set up as the Kobra Carry but was a custom order gun.

At the range the gun was smooth and very accurate. I did have an issue with extracting/ejecting on the next to the last round in the magazine 3 times during the first session. Not sure if I limp wristed or what, but the casing from the next to the last round did not eject before the gun tried to go back into battery. (Any input on diagnosis or fix appreciated) Was shooting white box Winchester ball target loads (Wally world special). Had it happen using a metalform and wilson mag. All three times were within the first 50-60 rounds through the gun. (Oh, also had my rear sight come loose on the third magazine through the gun---ooopse, easy fix) Figure I will get a couple more hundred rounds through her to ensure it is not me or a cured issue before seeking help.

Anyway, here she is.

Looks great!!!

I have it's older brother with checkering and a factory .400 corbon barrel. I really like the details of the EB's. I wish he still built custom guns as he once did.

Sure looks like a Kobra Carry to me!

Wildbilltx,

Beautiful Gun. I've a SS Kobra Carry myself. Please note that Ed Brown ships gun with loose rear sight so that you may zero it your self. He provides the necessary "locktite" for when you are ready to secure the sight.

I shoot mine loose during my first 50 rounds! Found my gun not to like wilson magazines but will thrive on the Metalforms. Lots of luck and enjoy!

When I first viewed the gun, I thought it was a Kobra Carry, too. After talking to a few folks, I think it is a Class A Limited, ordered to the specifications of a Kobra Carry. Note it doesn't say Kobra Carry on the slide and has an older EB prefixed serial number.

I will know after I pick up the paperwork and order sheet from my bud. However, for the price, I didn't care what model it was called.

Very nice, however it appears to shoot maybe .0005" high. You had better send it to me for extensive testing and don't hold your breath waiting for its return.!!!!

No I've done my time. Now I'm back home again in Indiana (I believe that's how it goes) but I sure miss MacDill AFB and the Middle East though. :)

I did my time in Italy and San Diego, but I was a musician and only got hit by a few bad notes. I'm in sw PA and only have one range for handguns available to me most of the time. Other times I have to use a rifle range and make do.

Fortunately we have a few more places to shoot, some not as nice as others but ranges nontheless.

It sure does look nice.

Not sure I'd be willing to spend the cash and then carry/shoot it though.

That's one great looking weapon. I am seriously considering an Ed Brown.
