Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.

  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

opinions owners of Kobra gov. model.....

We are ready to order a gov. model Kobra in Stainless for my husband(using his log on), but would like to hear some of the current owners experiences. Did a search of the EB forum but not much info. He has 3 Baers, 1 NH, and thought he might like some more variety in his arsenal.
Any help is appreciated.

I just got a new Ed Brown Kobra, the full size 1911. I love mine! The look and feel is just so much better than any of the other brands I handled.

I had a two-tone full size Kobra for a few months and it was a fine pistol. Never had any problems. It would feed and fire anything that I put in the magazine.

I traded it away simply because there was something that I wanted more at the time ... you know how that goes

I'm sure you'll be pleased - it's a very fine pistol.

I have a Kobra Carry that has given excellent service. I've used in one two day class during which it saw some hard use. And I had it out to the range just the other day. It has been reliable and accurate.

Frank,

Thank you for the input, that is a beauty you have, I am looking at a full size like yours in stainless, If they perform as good as your gun looks , it is a winner, Especially with Brown's reputation....
